By

"Wave and surfboards in a gorgeous shade of turquoise, combine to make the perfect summertime wrap.."

Reviewed by: Sara Stephenson

Size of Wrap: 6

Fabric Content: 70% Cotton, 30% Hemp

 Weight: 220 g/m2







How long has this wrap been used by you?
about a month

What size is the wrappee?
21 months, 35 lbs, 34 inches tall

What is the thickness of this wrap?
I would say medium to thin.

Does it have cush?
The cotton is soft to the touch but the hemp is more dense feeling. It molds really well to my child and has just the right amount of cush for me. 

How does it feel on your shoulders?
A single layer on my shoulder wasn’t as comfortable for me. 

How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have?
It has enough diagonal stretch to make it mold really well to my child. 

How supportive did you find it in a single layer carry?
It was amazingly supportive in a simple ruck as long as care is taken to properly tighten rail to rail. Otherwise, it can get a little diggy on the shoulders, but I have really particular shoulders. 

How supportive did you find it in a double layer carry?
Extremely supportive in a double layer carry! My 35 lb child doesn't get worn in a FWCC often because he’s so heavy but I wore him for quite awhile in this and had no complaints! 

Can you compare this wrap to another wrap already on the market?
It felt similar to my cotton/linen blend natibaby wraps yet more supportive. 

Who do you think this wrap would best be geared to?
I would say this would be geared more towards toddlers because it is so supportive, yet would still be amazing for a baby too because it is so moldable. 

Would you recommend this wrap to a friend? Why? What did you love about it?
Yes for sure. The color is beautiful, the wrap is supportive, and it can take a beating, so it would be great for an all day outing somewhere. No need to baby this! 


Please tell us a little more about yourself:
I have been wearing for almost 4 years. I am a VBE for the Chicagoland chapter of BWI. I have two children, an almost 4 yr old and my almost 2 yr old. I have tried close to 200 different wraps I think, I have never sat down to count them ;)

How to fix a pull in a woven wrap      If you are just joining us. Welcome!!! Welcome to the best blog you will ever read, (hehe). We are currently doing a blog series called "How to care and fix that woven wrap of yours".  The first post was an introduction and gave you the run down on how to care for your woven wrap .

How to make your woven wrap soft and floppy, otherwise known as breaking it in

By
You just received your wrap, but it's not as soft, floppy and cuddly as you were hoping for? Don't despair!  We'll help you get that wrap buttery soft and floppy! Okay, how do you get it to change? There are several tried and true methods, but the simple answer....break down the fibers by moving them.   Friction against them will wear them down. When you first get your wrap, give it a wash and dry  (following the washing instructions per blend)  This step will dramatically change the wrap right away and you'll notice that it's not as stiff. Give it a steam iron, or two or three (depending on the fiber) Steam ironing will break the fibers down quickly.  I've also noticed that when I steam iron it width wise it helps more then when I steam iron it moving the iron from side to side. That may just be my little quirk of mine though... Pull it through sling rings,if you have them.   If not create a loop and pull the rest of
