Moby Wrap UPDATED

I just got my Moby wrap in today... and although I really love the idea of wrapping and I loved the one wrap that I could do with it.... it is not versatile at all! I did so much research on the kinds of wraps that I wanted to try and thought about how I wanted a wrap that would accommodate back, front, and hip carries. I researched the carries until I was sure I wanted a wrap, and THEN I looked at a "what kind of wrap do you recommend site", which by FAR recommended a moby wrap.
I can see why people were recommending it. It does feel nice and its easy to use and such. It is definitely nice for a new mom or someone with only one kid, or someone new to wrapping (which i guess admittedly I am or I would not have made this mistake).... But I have a jealous toddler who is NOT going to stand for watching her baby sister get wrapped up and snuggled while she isn't allowed to.
but of course underneath all the instructions for how to do the cool wraps it said something like "don't attempt with a Moby wrap" or "never use a stretchy wrap for this carry"...
Now, I think I might have to get an Ergo sooner than planned. Oh dear.



UPDATE: I have used the Moby wrap with Molly more than a few times. She loves it! I use it all the time when I am at home. It is easy to use on the go also because I can wrap it at home and "pop" her in once I get to where Im going. But I have found the max number of "pops" before you need to re-wrap is only two. It starts to loosen up a bit after that and Molly doesn't sit quite right anymore. I have found that it is more comfortable than the ergo when wearing a spaghetti strap top. And since my yoga in the morning routine means I'm always wearing spaghetti straps while I'm working around the house, the Moby is better for me at home. It looks like this when on.



picture in the mirror. I know, super skills.

It works out because I keep the ergo in the car, and can use it on a whim since it is easy to click on. Keep a look out for my Ergo post, because I will be writing one very soon, as I also have a few things to say about that.



...that's great and all, but what do YOU think?
What carrier is your favorite?
If you have a Moby or other stretchy wrap, how do you like it? Any tips?
