The makers of the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier have always been adventurous and entrepreneurial. The husband-wife team first met when one was working as an English teacher in Eastern Europe and the other happened to be cycling through the region. They soon found out one was a risk taker, and the other one was an organizer. Together, they formed a perfect business team (and marriage).
Once they began their family, they took off for a year of traveling the world as they figured out how to launch their big business idea: the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier. They worked on the business as they traveled through Ireland and the Balkans, Egypt and India. They sold their first Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier in rural Slovenia. Traveling through the most remote places without even running water, they were always connected to their business through the internet. No matter where in the world they were, they worked on the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier.
Like so many of the best baby carriers, the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier was born of necessity. They tried out all different kinds of slings when their own children were born, and while they loved the convenience of baby wearing, nothing met their needs exactly. Wraps were their favorites, but woven wraps seemed too restrictive, and other brands of stretchy wraps sagged after a while. They began to search for the perfect material for the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier.
They finally found a fabric that was more durable than a cotton t-shirt with just a touch of elasticity. This high-quality knit won't sag after hours of use, and the fabric has enough cling to conform perfectly to your baby's body. The higher density of the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier provides greater support, security and durability than other stretchy wraps. But it also makes it a tad warmer. That said, it is 95% cotton and therefore quite breathable. The makers used it comfortably on an Egyptian safari, after all!
A perfect fit is guaranteed every time with the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier, since you don't need to guess how much room to leave in the wrap. You simply tie the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier snug against your own body, and it will stretch to accommodate your baby. Make sure the wrap is not bunched or twisted, and keep your baby high and tight on your body. The Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier can be used from birth, even with a preemie. It is ideal for the first year of life, but it has been tested to 45 pounds and still shows no signs of stress or overuse.
As world travelers, the makers of the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier wouldn't dream of making a baby product anything but machine washable, and they recommend you wash the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier before using it the first time. Instructions are included, and you really only need to master one carry before you are an expert in the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier.
So whether you're planning to backpack through the Balkans or just stride through the supermarket, the Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier will keep you and your baby secure and comfortable.
