A wrap is simply a long piece of cloth that can be used in a variety of positions to carry your baby from the earliest newborn days through the toddler to preschooler phase. QuirkyBaby stocks two types of wraps best suited to the beginner: Moby Wraps, a cotton jersey wrap best suited for newborns through 18-20 pounds in front carries, and Bali Baby Stretch wraps by Wrapsody, a hybrid between a stretch and a woven wrap that will work for newborns through 35 pounds on both the front and the back. Both are easy to learn to use and come with excellent instructions.
