The Ellaroo Rebozo was designed after the rebozos used by Mexican women for hundreds of years. The Ellaroo Rebozo can be used as a versatile baby carrier, an elegant wrap or shawl in cool weather, an essential pregnancy and labor tools for midwives and doulas, an extra baby blanket or changing pad, and the list goes on and on. You will probably come up with new ways to use your Ellaroo Rebozo that we haven't even considered!
As a baby carrier, the Ellaroo Rebozo is one of the most versatile baby carriers imaginable. It can be tied in many different ways with one simple knot. You can wear your baby on your back, hips, front, or shoulders. You can even wear two babies in one Ellaroo Rebozo! An Ellaroo Rebozo is perfect for breastfeeding discreetly on the move. With one simple tie of a knot, the Ellaroo Rebozo is ready to go and will not need readjustment.
In addition to use as a baby carrier, the Ellaroo Rebozo is useful as a pregnancy and labor tool. If you're still pregnant (or planning your next baby), an Ellaroo Rebozo can be used to support a very heavy belly, as a massage tool for lower back pain, or can be used during labor to help the mother push effectively and widen her pelvis (through a position that looks very much like tug-of-war).
The Ellaroo Rebozo is 2.7 meters of hand-woven, 100% cotton Guatemalan fabric, which is woven by a cooperative of traditional weavers. All dyes used in the Ellaroo Rebozo are free of toxins and heavy metals, so you don't have to worry when your little one invariably chews on the edge of the rebozo. The Ellaroo Rebozo comes in a stunning array of gorgeous patterns, or colourways, as they are known in the babywearing world. The Ellaroo Rebozo has the supportiveness of a woven fabric, while still being extremely lightweight and breathable. It is excellent for hot weather, and folds up extremely small to be tucked in a diaper bag. The lightweight fabric of the Ellaroo Rebozo also makes it ideal for wearing underneath a heavy winter coat without the extreme amount of bulk added by thicker woven wraps.
The Ellaroo Rebozo can be washed by hand or in the gentle cycle of the washing machine, and should be line dried. As with any hand-woven article, the Ellaroo Rebozo is vulnerable at the fringe, which should not be yanked at.
Long after you have delivered your baby and worn them in the Ellaroo Rebozo, it will stay in your closet as a beautiful reminder of your babywearing days (occasionally venturing out to be worn as a beautiful shawl).
