Crown Crafts Babysling

Pros: comfortable, attractive

Cons: takes a bit of practice

The Bottom Line: The Maya Wrap is the most versatile item a mother can buy. It is beautiful, durable and so easy to care for.

Review: With my first child, I really could have used Epinions. I think my life would have been much, much easier.

I'd tried a number of baby carriers from the uncomfortable Snugli to the mediocre Nojo Original...

Pros: lightweight, easy to use, too many to list!

Cons: Fabric choices could come in different styles

The Bottom Line: The best baby carrier available

Review: Update on September 7, 2001 - Since I wrote this review 2 weeks ago, a recall has been called on Maya Wrap slings made between January and July, 2001. It seems that the welding on the 1/8" rings can come apart. No children have been injured...

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...

Pros: very adjustable

Cons: takes a little practice

Review: I had my last baby five months ago, and knew that her babyhood would be gone before I knew it. So I wanted to hold her as much as possible, but with two older kids (3 and 4 years old), I figured this would be a challenge, so I tried several baby...

Pros: Versatile, great for newborn to toddler, too many to list

Cons: None

Review: The first thing you should buy for your baby is a safe carseat. The next thing should be a Maya Wrap sling.

I have owned two Nojo slings and a Mayawrap sling. (Along with many other carriers and backpacks.) The Maya sling has been my...

Pros: lightweight, easy to use, compact

Cons: none

Review: When I first saw a baby sling being used I was pregnant and at a child and baby fair. I thought the idea initially was absolutely absurd. I figured I had gotten a Fisher Price baby carrier at my baby shower, so why would I need a sling? (I wont hash...

Pros: versitile, easy to use, baby is always confy

Cons: needs a pad for the shoulder because of unconfortableness.

Review: I don't know how I ever managed without my sling. When my daughter was born she was constantly needing attention. I had a very hard time getting ANYTHING done. When a friend of mine came to visit she had her 2 week old son in this thing as I called...

Pros: Lightweight, extremely versatile, attractive and comfortable

Cons: A little tough to learn to use.

The Bottom Line: The Maya Wrap is beautiful, versatile and easy to use. A worthwhile investment for any parent who wants to carry their children and still have their hands free.

Review: I became a mother in July 2002. My son is very much a "hold me" baby and I knew that a sling and/or front-pack carrier would be in my future. I tried several brands of carrier with my son: Baby Bjorn, Snugli, Over The Shoulder Baby Holder and Maya...

Pros: Nice fabric colors. Folds up nice and small to put in diaper bag.

Cons: Once baby is in, the rings can get too low or out of position.

The Bottom Line: It's very hard to adjust once you get your baby in the sling. A small person may find it more difficult.

Review: When I was pregnant with my third child I decided I wanted a "sling baby". I wanted to wear my baby around in those cool slings I saw some other mom's using. My first choice was the Maya Wrap. What I read at the website sounded great. I knew I...

Pros: comfortable, neat looking

Cons: None

Review: I have loved my Maya Wrap sling ever since my daughter was born but never so much as when we recently went on vacation to Europe where taking the Metro was a must and lugging around the stroller was impossible. It was just great because Alexandra, 5...
