Moby Wraps

www.moby.co.nz have a 10% discount at the moment (code LT1).

Keep an eye on TM. You can often get them for $50-60 on there. I also had a search for Hugabub on there - they're quite similar and sometimes go for the same price.

Otherwise you can make one but you need to make sure your fabric isn't too stretchy.

ooh and I just remembered, they're giving one away at the mo in celebration of their first Mary's Market appearance - email sales@skin2skin.co.nz with the subject line 'Competition'

It's Baby Wearing Week next week so there are bound to be some specials around then too...

That is a great pattern graphic Jade, where did you find it?

yea keeping an eye on TM is a good idea. i just sold mine for $30 and there were a few others on there cheap too

Hehe, I have to admit when I say "I" made it, I mean I fed the baby while my Mum cut it.

Sure enough Scamps have 15% off all their baby carriers

Lisa there are pics on the Moby wrap website and lots of videos on YouTube etc. Up to you re: stretch - a little stretch is great for a newborn and means you can pop them in and out without retying, a woven wrap will last longer, can be used for back carries but needs to be retied every time pretty much. A stretchy wrap is a bit easier for a beginner (but not too stretchy!).

ETA here's my favourite, yum yum

Awww the bit where he gives bubby a little kiss before popping him in...

Is that really how high a baby is supposed to be carried in a moby? Seems rather awkard for us females given we already have something taking up space in that area lol!

and wow, thats a lot of excess fabric to tie around the waist

Nah I never carried either of my babies that high, I don't think either of them were ever that small though! Plus he's reeaally skinny so that's why he has to wrap it around so many times.

JadeC that one's good, but for a stretchy wrap it's easier if you can tie it on first and pop them in (helps to get a tighter, more secure wrap too). The official Mobywrap.com instructions are pretty good for a stretchy wrap (I prefer the hug hold, Addie still has her legs in for the newborn hug hold). For woven wraps I love the videos on Wrap Your Baby

Sorry, one more question... wheres Geoffs Emporium??? All I can find is Arthurs Emporium, and from memory, thats more arts and crafts stuff than material

There's a Geoffs emporium on um, Dominion Road, around the Mt Eden end (on the same block as Foodtown, Horizon Radiology).

There used to be one in Manukau opposite the Warehouse (though that might have been Arthur's, not Geoff's)
