Why is the monkeywrap better than other carriers?

Wrap-style carriers offer a custom fit every time and can be worn by many people, many ways. The wrap-style carrier supports the wearer’s back by using both shoulders and your entire torso.

The monkeywrap has been carefully tailored to offer the best fit of any wrap-style baby carrier, featuring a wider front panel and narrower tails. It can be worn as a wrap-style shirt when baby is not in the wrap and when baby is being worn, the ties are small and can be easily tucked out of the way.

The custom-knit stretch cotton blend offers softness, comfort and durability. It stretches when you need it to stretch, making the placement and removal of baby easier but shrinks back down to make a nice snug fit for you & baby, adding to the comfort of the product. The fabric breaths the same as 100% cotton, however the small amount of spandex provides the monkeywrap the ability to stretch out & pop back into place. It allows the product to be much smaller overall yet do a better job than those on the market that are much wider and longer.

There is only one size monkeywrap, offering multiple caregivers the use of the same wrap. It will fit almost anyone.

Structured carriers have been linked to hip displacia in babies and back problems in adults. They are difficult to adjust properly and are often worn incorrectly adjusted, causing further problems. Pouch or sling syle carriers put 100% of the baby’s weight pressure on one shoulder while often forcing the wearer to practice poor posture to compensate, which leads to muscle, neck and spine pain. They also need to be sized to the wearer and cannot be shared with people of different stature.

Please see the comparison chart below. We hope it will help you make an informed choice as to which carrier you feel will best suit your lifestyle.
