This woven wrap from the Quebec company Maman Kangourou has been a little slice of sanity for us. It comes in 4 different colors. Unlike knit wraps that have a bit of give to the fabric, this 100% cotton, woven style is not meant to stretch. We loved our knit wrap when my babies were newborn, but as they got heavier and more wiggly, we used it less and less, opting for carrier styles with more support. Getting your baby in a proper carry position with a wrap definitely takes a little more time and practice at first, but for long-term wear, it’s worth the extra effort. It distributes weight across your body better than anything else out there, and I definitely notice a difference in how my back and shoulders feel after a long stretch of carrying Riley, who is now hovering around 18 pounds.
But Maman Kangourou is so much more than just wraps! They also make a wide selection of safe and ergonomic baby carriers for you and your baby: stretchy wraps, ring slings, pouches, Asiatik carriers (a mei tai and stretchy wrap hybrid), woven wraps, water slings and pouches, and even doll carriers for little ones.
