Stretchy wraps: does size matter?

They are popular, comfortable, simple and beautiful - but are they equal?

The range of Stretchy wraps has blossomed in recent years. A decade ago, @hugabub.carriers was the popular choice in Australia while brands like Moby were on-trend overseas. But these originals have been joined by other big brands in babywearing and lots of new, smaller players.

With the ability to introduce new colourways regularly and follow clothing trends in colour and pattern, stretchy wraps are a palette of prettiness especially appealing to fashion conscious parents. But how do they differ in function?

@southeasternbabywearinggroup currently has seveal brands in our demonstration collection. Most seem to fit the standard 5.5m +/- which original designs set. Widths vary a bit more, somewhere around 50-60cm seems typical. The type of stretch seems to be the key difference but doesn't make a huge functional difference.

Tall or plus size parents might appreciate the extra fabric of longer/wider wraps but otherwise, all will function much the same. Check out our reviews to see how they measure up!
