adjusted to it...

Pros: Good price. Able to distribute weight with different techniques.

Cons: A little hard to get used to, I had to watch the video several times.

Review: Immediately after seeing the product online we wanted one! We were a bit leery on spending $ on what looked to be a tablecloth with 2 brass D rings but were PLEASENTLY surprised! The quality is outstanding! Its sewn with a locking stitch and very...

Pros: Compact, versatile,

Cons: Takes a bit to learn

Review: I love the Maya wrap. It goes everywhere with me. I am always getting questions about it. While it might look uncomfortable, once situated correctly very little of the weight is on your shoulders. The child sits on your hip once she is old enough to...

Cons: People look at you funny.Especially if you are a man.

The Bottom Line: Buy it, use it, and wear it with pride.

Review: When we went to see our doula she asked us how we were planning on carrying our child. We had not thought of that so she recommended a Maya Wrap. One of her friends here in Omaha made them and they were based off an ancient Mayan idea. We thought we...

Pros: Comfortable; easy in & out; keeps baby to the side, out of the way.

Cons: A bit pricey; internet only

The Bottom Line: My must-have item! A great alternative to the front-pack, especially in the first few months out of the infant carrier.

Review: My daughter hit 17 pounds at 4 months, and her fussy time was always in the evening, when I was getting dinner. Carrying her on my hip was what I wanted, but she was always sliding down, and I was killing my back leaning to hold her up. Not to...

Pros: Lightweight, cool, attractive, adjustable

Cons: The rings slip and lower baby, not as easy to use as expected

Review: I bought a Maya Wrap to use with my second baby from the website. I had visions of snuggling my baby close during feeding, shopping, or cleaning up the house. It didn't quite work out that way.

The wrap is not as hot as other brands and it...

Pros: Quicker to use and more versatile than other carriers.

Cons: Can take some time to get proficient at use; baby may hate it.

The Bottom Line: Give this one a good try. If it works for you and your baby, you'll get more use out of it than any padded sling or Bjorn-style holder.

Review: I have 3 children, ages 4, 2 and 8.5 months. My Maya Wrap has gotten near-constant use for 2 years. We got a Maya sling when we had our first child. She hated it, and my mother was terrified that she would fall. So we returned it, and used a Baby...

Pros: versatile, washable, easy to use

Cons: sometimes cuts into shoulder

Review: The Maya Wrap Sling was the fourth sling I tried with my daughter. It is significantly different than the other three (NoJo, Mother and Child Reunion, and Over the Shoulder Baby Holder). The Maya Wrap comes in several sizes based on height and...
