Not any more. Ergobaby has been listening carefully to parents lately. The light, breathable Ventus model, the Ergo 360, and now an Ergobaby stretch wrap are all on the market. Why a stretch wrap, you ask?
When you look at a newborn and then a soft structured carrier the two aren't always a good match. It's really important to preserve the natural kyphosis of a newborn spine, while being supportive enough to hold baby close, mimicking an in-arms position, and keep airways clear - TICKS guidelines, remember?
A wrap doesn't need adjusting. It'll conform to the body wearing it, whether that's a newly postpartum mama, a skinny dad, a cuddly grandma or proud grandpapa. You can pre tie and pop baby in and out with minimal adjusting, and the strong stretch of 95% cotton, 5% spandex will support your body and baby's.
The Ergobaby stretch is rated from 3 to 14 kgs. On trial with a 4kg demo doll and a 9 kg demo doll, I was impressed by how secure everyone felt. The knit feels quite lush in hand and washes beautifully, nothing flimsy about this! Generously, Ergo have provided me with one to give away, so if you have a squish on the way, know someone who does, or you're planning one any... month now, hit the widget and get your entries in!

ReplyDeleteI would love to win so that I can learn how to use one. And for it to grow with baby and me as I lose weight after he's born.
ReplyDeleteI would love to finally be an owner of one and stretchy would be great for my little wiggle worm, thank you for the many chances you give.
ReplyDeleteStretchy wrap is perfect for wee babies! They can remain nice and snug similarly like they are in the womb. Stretchy is incredibly soft and manageable!
ReplyDeleteStretch wraps saved my sanity when my lo had colic- he could sleep upright and I could use my hands. Also the squishyness allowed me to sit and rest without anything digging in. Would love to have one to give to my sil who has a brand new bub

ReplyDeleteI would love a stretchy wrap for next time as I found a structured carrier too painful for the first few months after a csection and the ergowrap looks so easy to use!
ReplyDeleteI would love a stretchy wrap because it allows for flexability so you can safely adjust it to meet yours and your baby's needs! would love to try this for my first baby! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI borrowed one for my first born and wore him everywhere. Hope to win so I can have my hands free with the new baby :) love stretchy wraps
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try a stretchy wrap! Babywearing will help with taking baby to dr.'s appt.!

ReplyDeleteStretchy means easy switching from big plush Momma to lean lanky Daddy and back, without a billion buckles to readjust ....ain't nobody got time for that!
ReplyDeleteI would love to get this for a friend! It would be an amazing gift. Baby wearing is a whole mother world and I think they would love it.

ReplyDeleteI would love this for my newborn! And I promise to pass it on to a new mom when I'm done!!
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect for my niece. My sister would love this.
ReplyDeleteI never try this wrap, it look good ! the only stretch wrap that i have are two JPMBB (a long and) , it will be interessting to compare them ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try this wrap as my baby only finds comfort being with me and I'd like to be able to get housework done while she sleeps instead of having her lay on me on the couch.
ReplyDeleteStrechy wraps are the best way to walk whith my baby. She is confortable and I'm confortable too! We love it < 3
ReplyDeleteThis wrap would be purrrfect for the baby who's on his way ... in mommy's arms :)
ReplyDeleteAfter lots of research I really feel like this is the stretchy for me! Would truly love this for my little lady due in 14 weeks! Xxx
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this wrap. To have the freedom with my 11 week old son wrapped close to me while I am doing chores and looking after my 2yo daughter would be priceless. The look like they are completely hands free which is much better than my Bubzilla sling
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try a wrap. Love the closeness that a wrap allows.
ReplyDeleteAngela H - would love to try this wrap, I think it will be more flexible than other baby carriers
ReplyDeleteJennifer - stretchys are so forgiving and comfortable with little squishes! they're great! plus throw in the bag and go. no fuss!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried a stretchy but would love to
ReplyDeleteI have only ever tried a SSC, but I think stretchy would be great because I can form it around my baby girl. She is 4 months old and big and strong for her age, so we have no issues in the SSC, I can only imagine all I can do with a wrap!
ReplyDeleteIn the past, I have only used the structured carriers for my babies but I am looking forward to making the transition as baby comfort is super important to me.
ReplyDeleteI love a stretchy wrap! :D
ReplyDeleteStretchy wrap is great for littlies who want to be close to mum or dad. Great for cuddles.
ReplyDeleteAfter making the mistake of buying a Baby Bjorn with my firstborn (don't worry, we are Tula-ing now!) & never experiencing with wraps, I can't wait to get a stretchy & a woven for my little one that is due in March! With a stretchy, I can not only pre-tie & pop the baby in & out, it is also great for skin to skin! AND with the front carries, such as the front wrap cross carry, the cross passes will provide great coverage for breastfeeding, & I can also easily slip my hand in to help with latching or supporting the breast :)
ReplyDeleteStretchy wrap is perfect for wee babies! They can remain nice and snug similarly like they are in the womb. Stretchy is incredibly soft and manageable!
ReplyDeleteStretchy wrap would work for me because my little is still cooking. It's a perfect wrap for a snuggly newborn.
ReplyDeleteStretchy works for me because it's simple and fast. I love ergo! Would love to try this!
ReplyDeleteI am having my first baby and can't wait to start baby wearing. I was very confused when I first started researching and only knew about the baby bjorn. Now that I have seen wraps, slings, wovens and the stretchy carriers - I am very glad I looked into alternatives. I feel the stretchy wrap works best for newborns, when doing errands around the house, cooking, going for walks, even grocery shopping. I love ergobaby and the chance to win one would be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've never used a stretchy wrap before, but I'm dying to get my hands on one after hearing so many great reviews! <3
ReplyDeleteIt would make a fantastic present for a new mum-to-be I know!
ReplyDeleteit's especially perfect for new babies, I'd love to give one to my nephew (born on Wednesday)
