Stretchy wrap or tricot-slen?

Both mean the same; a baby wrap made of stretchy fabric to carry your child. From now on i will call it a stretchy wrap.

When i think about a stretchy wrap, i think about cuddly soft materials and hours of baby wearing pleasure. Why is this wrap loved by many parents? I will tell you that…

Ergonomic

Luckily many parents choose for an ergonomic baby wrap of carrier these days. The stretchy wrap is ergonomic, the fabric is soft and moldable and follows and supports your baby’s natural spreid squatting position. This position is important for a healthy development.

Wrapping is an easy job with a stretchy wrap!

Are you new to baby wearing or do you think wrapping a baby is exciting? The stretchy wrap is a perfect wrap to start baby wearing, because you first finish your wrapping and after that you place your child in the seat you have created. So you don’t have to carry your child while wrapping. This is not only easy, but also handy when you are going somewhere by car. You tie off the stretchy wrap at home and when you arrive at your destination you only have to take your child out off the maxi cost and place it in the wrap. Ready to walk!

“Onesize fits all”

One size

No need to decide which size wrap fits you the best. The stretchy wraps are all one size fit all. With a fabric size of 5 meters, is a stretchy warp suitable for everyone.

Youtube-tutorial

You can find many wrapping tutorials on Youtube, mostly made by mothers. Not all of these video’s show the right way to wrap a stretchy wrap. So be careful with looking at these video’s. There is only one way to tie wrap a stretchy wrap and that’s the way i show you on the pictures in this Blog. All of our products come with a booklet, showing the right ways to tie your baby wrap.

Second- hand baby wrap?

Are you thinking about buying a babywrap second-hand? I strongly discourage that. You’ll never know what happened with the wrap; how it’s been washed, how many times it has been used and washed and how the previous owner used the wrap. When a wrap has been damaged the stretch can completely disappear or the yarn/threads can break. These baby wraps are not longer safe for baby wearing. When you buy a new wrap you, you know your wrap is safe for baby wearing. Our Bam+Boe and Babylonia baby wraps are nicely priced and you know for sure you carry your little one safely and secure.

My favorites

I have tried and tested many brands, also in the period when my own sons were little. I have experienced that the stretchy wraps from Babylonia ByKay and Bam+boe are comfortable and sustainable. These brands have eye for quality and the environment. The Babylonia Organic and Design and all the ByKay wraps are a bit thicker and stronger than other stretchy wraps and that’s why these items are also perfect to wear bigger babies.

The Bam+boe wraps are know of their soft fabrics. They have a nice stretch and are very easy to tie. The Bam+boe is perfect for newborns and baby’s up to 6 months.

The stretchy wraps are perfect for parents who are new to baby wearing, but also a perfect addition for experienced baby wearers.
