Moby Wrap Baby Carrier

Moby Wrap Baby Carrier

My three daughters all LOVED riding in the moby when they were infants. While it is definitely not the fastest wrap to put on, it is pretty simple to use once you get the hang of it--much like riding a bike, once you figure it out, it's a snap. I love how adjustable it is for a true fit to your baby--no worries about head support or body slouching--this wrap guarantees that you will keep your babe in the best position!

I wore my first daughter in the Moby until i was 8-months pregnant with my 2nd daughter. While I carried small and high, it really was a true testament to the wrap--totally ergodynamic and comfortable!

the cons are that it does take a bit longer to put on and it does get hot! also, my youngest two daughters didn't love it as much as the Ergo so didn't like to be in it as long as my first. Every baby is different so you never know!

I love love love these bags. As a busy mom to 3, i don't have time to spend sanitizing everything in boiling water or a dishwasher. I love that i can sterilize everything from pump parts and pacifiers to teething toys and beyond in this bag. It comes with a convenient check box where you mark the bag every time you use it--then you remember when it is time to switch to a new bag. (small note: a permanent marker like a Sharpie works best on it). The one thing i've noticed is that you definitely need to rinse things off before you put them in the quick clean steam bag--if you don't, things might get crusted onto it. As long as you keep in mind that it's a sterilizer, not a true washer/cleaner, these are marvelous!

I really cannot imagine not owning a car seat base for our Maxi Cosi infant car seat. It is so simple to place my daughter's car seat in the car and take it out when we're ready to go somewhere. We've been using this same seat for three years in a row (3 daughters 3 and under) so we've definitely got the hang of it now but I think that any new parent could easily figure it out, too. I love that the base is smaller than most American-brand carseats--since it's made for smaller, compact European cars, it fits much better with 2 other seats across the back of our station wagon. The latch feature is a life saver, making it easy to transfer the base when necessary between cars. Love the car seat, love the base!

we have three kids across the back of our station wagon--an infant seat, a convertible, and a booster. These car seat liners are under the two littler girls seats and have been a lifesaver for our leather. We noticed that our seat was getting scratched and scuffed so we ran out and bought these immediately. We no longer worry about what's underneath their seat and if our leather will be ruined forever--what a relief! Plus, with limited back seat space, it is SO nice to have little mesh holders that can contain toys, books, and sippy cups all within easy reach and sight.

These diapers are a great hybrid choice if you're curious about getting into the cloth diaper world but not sure where to begin. Having the choice between cloth inserts and biodegradable disposable inserts is nice, especially while traveling.

Pros: super cute and trendy, super easy to adapt to
Cons: more expensive, covers get damp pretty quickly when using a cloth insert (what i prefer)

These diapers are fun and hip and the brand makes you feel like you're part of a cool parent movement when you buy them. However, if you're going 100% cloth, these are definitely NOT my first pick in CD brands because they don't last as long and are not made as well as they used to be (back in the early 2000s).
