CuddleBug Original Baby Wrap

Pros / Cons

Pros

  • The long stretchy fabric can be adjusted closely around the wearer and baby.
  • The manufacturer gives a specific tie sequence and safety checks, with a 3.2 kg-16 kg/7.1-35.3 lb range.

Cons

  • The manual’s illustrated tie is inward-facing and gives no instructions for outward or back carries; do not improvise them.
  • Tying takes practice; practise over a doll or with a spotter before carrying.

CuddleBug’s Original Baby Wrap is a 5.5-yard stretchy wrap for caregivers who want a close carry. The black version uses 95% cotton and 5% spandex; the manufacturer lists it from 3.2 kg (7 lb) to 16 kg (35 lb), newborn to 36 months. The manual’s illustrated tie holds the baby facing in; it gives no instructions for other carries, so do not improvise a facing-out or back carry with this tie. Tying takes practice. Support the baby knee-to-knee with knees at hip level or higher, keep the face visible and the chin clear of the chest, and practise the tie over a doll or with a spotter before carrying. Check snugness and position again at each wear. See the wrap manual and basic tie guide.
