Lioncool Mama's Bonding Comforter, Baby Wraps Carrier, Wearing Wrap Sling for baby (Orange)

Product Information

The fabric is surprisingly stretchy, so even though it would feel tight when I put it on, once we started walking, I often felt my son sliding down too low. Most come in one-size-fits-all and easily adjust to different body types, but can take a bit of practice to get the hang of. Less bulk and padding is what makes this carrier great, but also what some parents complain about—it can be a little less comfortable for longer babywearing sessions or with heavier babies. Other features we love include the easy-to-adjust fit, comfort factor and that they’re handmade in the USA.

Learning about the proper hip position for your baby when using a carrier is also essential for safety. MadeForMums reviewer Ruth, mum of two, liked how cool the wrap was to wear: “The lightweight mesh fabric means you’re unlikely to get too hot – and the material is capable of self-regulating its temperature, according to We Made Me, to keep your baby cool too. Even now that my daughter is getting heavier I feel that the support is great and there is minimal strain on my back. Some parents say the fabric gets a little too stretchy (but goes back to normal after it’s washed), so you may want to go down a size to ensure a snug fit.As with most stretchy wraps, this is great for newborns but might not offer enough support and stability for toddlers. It has a wide seat, which helps to put your baby in the correct position by keeping their bottom low and their legs wide apart. As an alternative to baby carriers, they appeal to parents who prefer a way to carry their baby that’s a little less structured than a carrier, as they don’t use clips or buckles.

This was a revelation for me, especially as a second-time mum,” said Alex, who added that it was: "Extremely easy, discreet and convenient. And the nature of the wrap meant it was impossible to readjust it without having to take him out,” explained Alex.

There are simple buckles on the sides to adjust the fit and padded back support for extra comfort if you’re babywearing for an extended period of time. One slight issue our tester found was getting the tension of the material right, so you may need some practice to get used to it.

Ruth added: “Super soft, stretchy and lightweight, this wrap is a great way to carry your baby around and keep your hands free for cooking, running after a toddler or while out for a long walk. Get familiar with the world of babywearing, utilize your carrier brand’s video tutorials and practice, practice, practice—it will pay off.

Discussing this essential piece of furniture with the parents in advance would be a good idea to ensure it fits their space and requirements. Avoid any baby carrier that doesn’t have a waistband or that only goes over one shoulder (such as ring slings, onbuhimos or any hip carrier).

Fit, comfort and storage space put this hiking baby carrier at the top of the list if you’re hitting the trails with the littlest member of your family. The International Hip Displaysia Institute recommends inward-facing carrying during the first six months of infancy.
