When choosing a baby shower gift, it's tempting to buy one of those adorable little newborn sets with the itty bitty sleeper with matching hat and booties. But as any mother can tell you, newborn clothes are worn for a month or less, and often the adorable gifts from a shower go unused entirely.

Why not choose something the new mother and baby will use for more than a month? A Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier will be useful from the first day the baby arrives in the world, and will continue to be used all the way through toddlerhood. Four years of use instead of one month? Now that's a value.

Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carriers were designed by mothers seeking a comfortable but fashionable way to free up their hands. They are made in the USA from high-quality materials. The 100% crinkle cotton is an extremely strong and supportive fabric, which still proves lightweight and breathable in warm climates. The Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier has a slight one-way give, which allows it to comfortably conform to your body and baby.

Even if the recipient of the Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier has never worn a baby, they will be good to go with the instructional DVD, which demonstrates how to wear the baby in 12 different carrying positions. From a newborn cradle hold to a toddler's back carry, the Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier grows with the child. In no time, a new mother (or father) will know how to get the Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier on quickly and easily, with no assistance.

You can be sure when you gift a Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier that you are giving a gift of safety. A very thorough quality assurance team checks every wrap to make sure the double rolled hem is secure. Instead of hanging in a pouch like some carriers, the Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier holds your child securely against your body, tied securely with a fabric that will not slip or even need readjustment.

The Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier also comes with a center marker, making wrapping easier and safer. The center marker doubles as a panel pocket, which also comes in handy as a convenient storage place for keys, cell phones, or an extra diaper, so Mom can truly walk out the door unburdened by extra gear.

When you buy a Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier, you are giving it not just to the new mom, but to the whole family. While the Wrap 'n Wear Baby Carrier does come in multiple sizes, just buy the size the fit the largest caregiver, and it can easily be shared between parents, grandparents, and babysitters. Smaller caregivers will just have some extra fabric to wrap around their waist an additional time.

Pass by those itty bitty clothes and give a gift that will be used and appreciated for years. Or buy one for yourself!
