Our Review

We were involved in testing early prototypes of the Newbie Love wrap and have followed its evolution over time. While the design incorporates several well-intentioned features, our experience has been mixed.

The padded neck support and breathable mesh panel may appeal to those seeking structure and airflow
The simplified tying method is different from most wraps and may not actually feel easier or more secure
We’ve found the design less intuitive for many caregivers, and the additional features can feel bulky on smaller frames
It may suit some families in the very early weeks — especially those prioritising breathability — but may not offer the same flexibility or ease of use as more traditional stretchy wraps

Fit Notes & Hints

Be prepared for a small learning curve if you're used to standard wrap styles
Tension and placement of the padded panel are key to achieving a secure fit
The built-in structure makes this feel more like a hybrid than a true stretchy wrap
Not ideal for all-day use or longer-term babywearing
