Throughout time, mothers have worn their babies close in simple slings and carriers. The Ultimate Baby Wrap is a simple piece of cloth that’s extraordinarily comfortable for you and your little one. The Ultimate Baby Wrap is seven yards of stretchy fabric in a washable blend of 95% cotton and 5% lycra, giving it just enough stretch to snuggle your baby while supporting their weight.

While the long piece of fabric can be intimidating, the Ultimate Baby Wrap is extremely simple to put on. In a few simple steps, you’re ready to put your baby inside in one of five different positions, depending on their age and mood. A newborn baby is ideally carried front facing in, or in the breastfeeding position. As they get a bit older with more neck control and more interest in what’s happening around them, front facing out is an excellent choice. And when they’re a bit older still, ready to sit up on their own, the hip carry is very convenient. The Ultimate Baby Wrap can also be worn with your baby on your back. All Ultimate Baby Wraps come with an instructional DVD.

Because the fabric panels are so wide across your shoulder and back, the Ultimate Baby Wrap distributes the baby’s weight evenly, without pulling on your neck or shoulders. It is so much more comfortable than traditional front carriers. And because the weight is on both shoulders, it is more comfortable than one-shouldered slings and pouches.

The Ultimate Baby Wrap is very versatile and can grow with your baby. It can be used from the moment your baby is born until they are a toddler. It is also a one-size-fits-all baby carrier. Moms and Dads of very different sizes can share the Ultimate Baby Wrap. A very small person will just wrap the extra fabric around their waist an additional time. The solid, neutral color choices also make it a good babywearing choice for moms and dads alike. The Ultimate Baby Wrap comes in black, grey, navy, brown, lime green and orange.

The Ultimate Baby Wrap does take a few more minutes to put on than a one-shouldered pouch, but once you learn, it becomes quite quick and simple. You can also pre-tie the Ultimate Baby Wrap before getting in the car, and when you arrive at your destination, you just pop your baby into the Ultimate Baby Wrap as quickly as any other carrier and go on your way. The Ultimate Baby Wrap is very warm and snuggly, perfect for long walks in the winter.

Each Ultimate Baby Wrap comes in a drawstring pouch, so you can easily put it away in a diaper bag when you’re ready to take it off. The Ultimate Baby Wrap also has a convenient pocket on the front of the wrap where you can put your credit card, keys, or even a small diaper. Perfect for times when you don’t want to lug a diaper bag around with you.
