Moby Wrap -Good and Bad

I searched long and hard before deciding on the Moby Wrap. I loved the rave reviews on comfort, and indeed it was comfortable to wear baby. I wore my baby on the front, both facing inwards and outwards (when she was less than 3 months old). She seemed to be very comfortable as well. The fabric is stretchy and cuddles baby nicely and naturally without stiff leg holes. But, I did find that I was not good at finding the perfect tension to use when wrapping her, which I think is key to this product working correctly. I always put the wrap on me and then put her into it. If it was too tight or too loose, I had to lay her back down and re-wrap it. This can be a bit of a headache when your baby is crying. I also found that several times I would think that I had her in snug, only to find her starting to slip out. Also, I had a problem with her head being seemingly supported by the fabric, only to have it slip out when I leaned over. I washed the Moby Wrap and put it in the dryer and it shrunk considerably so that I could no longer wrap it as instructed in the booklet but had to use one less knot (and I am on the petite side). For the price, the fabric should be preshrunk. It says that it is washable, and no Mom with a newborn has time to line dry things. I did not use it nearly as much as I had planned on because I really found it cumbersome to put on and then I felt I had to have my hands free to hold her head and make sure she wasn't slipping out. Now that my daughter is 7-months-old, I have bought a carrier with stiff leg holes that I feel is less comfortable to wear but at least I know she can't fall out of it. It's also easier to put on and take off. But, I would like to try and use my Moby with her again now that she is older, except the shrunk fabric will be less likely to fit around now. Overall, I would recommend this product due to it's comfort for the baby and the Mom. Yet, I would advise that it's not entirely simple to use and that it could be dangerous if not tied correctly. The best way to use this product would be to have someone tie the baby onto you so that the tension is correct.
