I actually already have a Kari-Me, which has a little bit more stretch than the Moby (but perhaps I'm just more familiar with it, and that's why the difference struck me). I've been intrigued by woven wraps for a while now... am I right in thinking they're good for bigger babies? I might feel a purchase coming on soon! Rachel Thanks Kat!

The Moby is probably one of the stretchiest on the market so if you're finding it a bit tough judging size might I suggest tying it after you have positioned your baby? This works best on the basic front carry and once you are at about step 5 (http://www.mobywrap.com/t-instructions-MobyD.aspx) then it is easy to slip your baby in, get them comfy and complete the tying pulling tight. If you had a woven wrap like an Ellaroo (http://www.baby-bean.com/ellaroo-wrap-carrier-p-28.html), you would tie it like this normally. The main advantage of a woven wrap over a stretchy wrap is that when the baby gets heavier there is less give in the fabric making it easier to keep them close and avoid retying. I own both the Moby and Ellaroo wraps so know them both well, I would recommend either to any new Mama. Kat x Hi Rachel,

Great review.
