Have a look on TM for Hoppediz wraps. They are good quality , really good price and they have loads of colourways. And they don't take too long to break in .

The only con of a woven wrap is that you can't pre- tie them. Once you practise a bit though it's not an issue.

And if you can get to a Slingbabies meeting you can try some out . There is one in West Auckland and one in Southeast auckland.

Thank you! That's really helpful!

I swear by my Moby for when A was a tiny tot, but now prefer using my ERGO. Moby was $20 off TM (used once) and the ERGO was off nzsale - awesome prices - The wrap I had no prob with, but I would recommend giving them a go. A only just starting to fit the ERGO now tho, but I didn't get an infant insert. On hindsight, I wished I'd looked into the manduca a bit more! ]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2011 22:00:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40152&PID=1373852&title=which-wrap-to-buy#1373852 <![CDATA[which wrap to buy : AandCsmum wrote:I think the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40152&PID=1373844&title=which-wrap-to-buy#1373844 Author: pudgy

Any good quality woven will do the job, there are a few but Storchenweige and Hoppediz are the ones more readily available in NZ .There is a Storch Anna on Tm at the mo



Storchenweige

Yep I second the manduca- I still happily back carry my 19month old- hes happy to fall asleep in there too, and Ive worn him for several hrs at a time and had no problems cos the weight is dispersed really well.

Lots of people like mei-tai structured wraps, u can back carry in them too. Ive not tried them myself tho.

I used a length of t-shirt type material and wrapped baby onto my front - same as a moby, when he was newborn but it wasnt that long til he was too heavy like that!]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2011 19:53:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40152&PID=1373763&title=which-wrap-to-buy#1373763 <![CDATA[which wrap to buy : I started off with the moby with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40152&PID=1373736&title=which-wrap-to-buy#1373736 Author: Mum2ET

I started off with the moby with Tom was a newborn (which was brilliant and a life saver) and then when he got a bit older moved to the Manduca (which can be used on the back or front).

Can anyone please recommend a wrap that won't kill my back?

I had a look online and there are quite a few different brands...

I prefer to carry my wee man on my back when he is older but I saw on You Tube that the stretchy wraps like Moby Wraps are not safe for that because bub can fall out?

Any ideas please?

Thanks :)]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:43:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40152&PID=1373724&title=which-wrap-to-buy#1373724
