If you love the comforts and benefits of the Moby Wrap but crave a bit more style, the Moby D is for you! The Moby D is designed with a fabric panel of luxurious Asian Brocade, hand woven cotton or plush microfleece. In addition to being aesthetically lovely, the Moby D has added benefits for your baby. The Moby D with fleece adds extra warmth for keeping baby extra cozy, while the brocade and woven panels provide a section of non-stretch fabric, which helps support your baby.
The Moby D is slightly shorter than the original Moby Wrap, coming in at 5 meters - still plenty of length to fit almost all babywearers. The edges of the Moby D are seamed instead of over-locked to make sure the Moby D does not stretch and sag with use. The panel is off center, designed so that the Moby D ties on your hip instead of in front or back, giving an unobstructed view of the gorgeous panel!
While there is a slight learning curve to putting the Moby D on, it's much easier than it looks, and the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. There are no buckles, snaps or fasteners, and the wide fabric of the Moby D distributes your baby's weight evenly across both shoulders and your back. The Moby D can be shared between partners of very different sizes (TIP: a very small person can simply wrap the ends around their waist an additional time before tying). The Moby D can even be tied on at the beginning of the day, and baby can be popped in and out all day long, for ultimate convenience.
The 100% cotton used in the Moby D is slightly stretchy, but still extremely supportive and secure. The Moby D is slightly tapered on the ends, which allows for less bulky tying. The fabric is safety tested for use up to 45 pounds, though most people are comfortable up to 35 pounds. The Moby D is machine washable and dryer safe, allowing for all the inevitable messes of babyhood to be quickly dealt with.
With the Moby D, you never have to put your precious newborn down. You can soothe a fussy baby with constant movement, work on the computer, make dinner and even breastfeed on the move! The most popular way to use the Moby D is in the ergonomically correct facing in position, which supports the baby's spine with three different strips of fabric. Your baby can also face out, or even be worn on your back or hip in the Moby D.
When not in use as a baby carrier, it is always nice to have the Moby D on hand to use as an extra blanket, pillow, nursing cover, diaper changing pad, or sun shade. You will likely find your own uses for the Moby D!
