The Bottom Line:
I LOVE to wrap my babies. It takes a little time to learn how, but it is far superior to back pack carriers in comfort, versatility, style, and wash-ability.
My moby wrap experience started when I saw my neighbor carrying her baby in one. I'd never seen one before & I chased her down to find out more. It is comfortable and ergonomic for both the mother and baby. I've now tried both the original moby wrap and the moby-D and am a fan of both. See my review of the original for when I recommend it.
I recommend the moby-D over the moby wrap if you prefer:
*more support for a heavier or older baby. The woven moby-d's offer a no-stretch section, which I like to place over the child's bottom when the child is facing-in or worn on the back.
*more warmth if you choose a fleece panel
*A shorter length by .5 meters. on one side
*A Tie on the Side instead of in the middle like the moby wrap original.
*Increased Style Selection with another 10 color choices & beautiful brocade silk. It's hard to tell from the pictures so I though I'd mention the blue silk with black cotton has a Chinese dragon theme. The red silk with black cotton has a Chinese flower theme. The lilac silk with lilac cotton has a delicate flower theme.
You may also be interested to know that I've had a personal phone conversation with the owner of the company about their factory in Thailand. It was explained to me that their "factory" is a large home where village women (and one man, apparently) come to work reasonable hours for competitive rates (based on local labor wages). If they ask them to stay late, they offer them dinner. For the hand knit line, the women take the materials home and bring back the finished product later. It is a great mom-based company and you can trust that the workers have good working conditions.
All of the moby wraps are a great way to stay close to your baby and still have your hands free. There is a learning process to get the whole wrapping thing down, but I found a helpful website: http://www.wearyourbaby.com that has videos and still picture diagrams. The best way to buy one of these is through a local mom who sells them and can show you personally how to put them on different ways. http://www.mobywrap.com has a link to find a retailer in your area.
