10 Best Baby Wraps of 2024

The Baby K’tan is an excellent option for a newborn, as it’s made of a stretchy 100% cotton knit fabric. It’s very comfortable for both you and your baby, but it can get warm if temperatures are high.

This wrap is easy to care for and can be machine washed and dried. This is a huge perk when dealing with a newborn. Discolored spots of dubious origin, spit-up, and remnants of your lunch are all a thing of the past.

Unlike some other wraps, this one is simple to use — there’s no need to learn complicated wrapping techniques. The two separate pieces are easy to navigate, even for a beginner. Simply pull it over your head, add your baby, and tie the sash around both of you. The Baby K’tan also offers a variety of positions suitable for nursing and carrying babies of all ages.

Its simplicity means it’s a little less customizable than other wraps; if you and your partner aren’t a similar size, you won’t be able to share this.

I can’t get enough of the Moby Wrap Evolution. You won’t be able to do a back carry with this wrap, but it does allow for several different carry positions. The Moby wrap is safe to use with both front and hip carries.

You’ll probably need to spend some time learning how to use it, but it’s more than worth it. Practice using it around the house until you’re comfortable with the techniques and the fabric is broken in.

The lightweight material means it’s comfortable to wear even for long periods. The fabric is breathable to keep you and your baby cool, and it’s softer than many other wraps we’ve used.

While this can work for multiple wearers of different sizes, it’s not truly plus-sized friendly. Even if you’re taller than average, you may find there’s not enough material for a safe wrap.

Tandem wrapping twins — or two young babies of different ages — is totally doable, although it takes some practice ⁽¹⁾. You can carry your twins with one on each hip or with one on your back and one on your front or, if they’re little, both on your front ⁽²⁾.

Stretchy wraps will work for carrying twins, but only when they’re very tiny.

You can wrap your babies much longer in any sturdy size six or larger woven wrap, but we especially like this beautiful and affordable wrap by Hip Baby Wrap. The 100% cotton fabric is soft but strong, and you can choose from 10+ fabric styles, each dyed with non-toxic dyes.

These fair trade wraps are handmade in India and are machine washable and dryable.

They are long enough to wrap around your two little ones and support weights up to 35 pounds. This means you won’t be able to tandem carry your babies once they get older and heavier, but it can be hard to pack around that much weight anyway.

Once your twins no longer fit in a tandem carry, you can continue to wear them one at a time in this wrap — or buy a second wrap for your partner so you can carry them both at once. This wrap is affordable, and you’re sure to find a style to fit both of you.

My favorite wrap for parents of all sizes is this wrap by Boba. It’s one of the original stretchy wraps, and there’s a reason it’s still around and doing well.

I can’t say enough good things about having a machine washable and dryable wrap. When my Boba encounters an unfortunate baby-related mishap, it’s as good as new in two short hours.

This wrap is also great for nursing. The spandex in the fabric helps it keep its shape, and it stays in place. The fabric molds to your body, whatever size you are, even as your body grows or shrinks.

You’ll also find this wrap easy to use. You can be suited up and out the door in moments. When you’re juggling your baby, a diaper bag, and your own belongings, you know just how much that can mean.

Although this carrier is a ring sling rather than a true wrap, it offers the same comfort to your baby minus the learning curve that comes with some wraps.

We love that the Moby Sling Wrap is simple to use. It’s not intimidating for a new dad — or mom — who’s trying to get the hang of babywearing. There are no complicated maneuvers or methods to learn. Fasten the wrap around your body, add your baby, and go.

You can carry newborns to toddlers in this wrap, and it offers both hip and front carry options. One size fits all, so there’s no need to worry about sizing. If you’re inclined to share a wrap, this model is the way to go.

The fabric is a breathable, woven cotton that’s machine washable and comfortable to use, even during long periods of wear. If you have a partner looking for a functional and intuitive carrier, the Moby sling wrap is a great option.

The Beachfront baby wrap has everything you’re looking for in a swimming wrap. The material is light and dries quickly. It’s also comfortable and made in the United States.

But best of all, it’s safety tested and CPSIA and ASTM compliant.

I love the UV protection this wrap affords my child, especially when we’re swimming. I don’t need to worry about repeatedly pulling out the sunscreen. It’s also nice to know there’s one more barrier between the sun and sensitive skin — just in case I’ve missed a spot.

Of course, this wrap isn’t only for use by the water. It’s great to use anywhere — all year round.

A bonus feature is that there’s enough stretch to feel like this is customized to your shape. And the stretch runs only in one direction, so you don’t need to worry about any extra stretching or sagging.

You can use this for carrying your little one on your hip or front, and it’s ideal for breastfeeding.

While you can use it out of the water, you may find it slips out of place easily when dry.

This design is made from premium cotton spandex. It’s sturdy and durable and can support a heavier child, which you really want when looking for a wrap for back carries.

Most parents use back carrying techniques mainly with an older child, especially if they’re tandem carrying a younger baby on their front. My toddlers loved to peer over my shoulder in this position and see the world from my perspective.

The KeaBabies wrap fits all sizes. It’s also easy to care for and can be machine washed, making it an excellent option for people who are new to babywearing.

We love this wrap for back carrying but also for front and hip carries. The material is soft and just as suitable for front carrying a young baby.

The KeaBabies wrap comes in a variety of beautiful colors. If you’re looking for a fashionable babywearing accessory that will be in it for the long haul — this might be the perfect choice for you.

This wrap is a great option for someone looking for the benefits of a wrap with a little extra comfort and cushioning. It’s great for newborns because they spend so much time in your arms. If you can free up your hands for some of that time and still be comfortable. You’ll both be happier for it.

The Acrabros wrap is skin-friendly, perfect for those who desire comfort even while doing the chores at home. This helps you avoid sweating too much when wearing your baby for prolonged periods.

It’s also available in multiple designs for a custom fit. Breathable rayon and polyester blended fabric are perfect for a growing baby. They won’t become overheated — and neither will you.

It’s easy to nurse discreetly in this wrap. You can position your baby without exposing yourself, and you can also use the tail end for additional coverage.

Woven wraps are the best choice for an older (or heavier) child. The same stretch that’s great for a baby wrap with a young child can allow for too much give once your baby weighs more. This can put pressure on your lower and upper back instead of providing stability and comfort.

The Hip Baby wrap is made entirely of cotton and offers front, hip, and back carrying options. Each one is handmade and individually dyed, giving it that personal touch.

Although this is a sling-style wrap, it’s just as convenient to use as a ring-free wrap.

These wraps are machine washable and easy to care for. With this fair trade product, you can feel good, not only about the benefits of using it, but also about how it was made.

We love using this wrap for breastfeeding needs. However, the tail is not very long, so it doesn’t offer as much coverage for plus-sized moms.

Learning how to use wrapping techniques can be time-consuming. You’ll need to invest some time in learning to get the most of the Hip Baby wrap. Once you’ve mastered the movements, you’ll think it’s entirely worth it — and probably forget how frustrating it was in the beginning.

The Boppy baby wrap carrier is a hybrid carrier — a cross between a soft structured carrier and a wrap. We love the unique style of this carrier and how it combines the best of both worlds.

It includes a simple waistband that you fasten with a clip and cinch around your hips and a one-piece, soft structured seat for your baby with head and neck support. The long, stretchy tails are pre-wrapped behind your baby, so all you have to do is pass them over your shoulders, cross them behind you, and tie them in the front or at your hip.

You can button the head support down if you wish to place your older baby facing forward in the wrap. This keeps it out of their face and helps support them in the outward-facing position.

The shoulder straps are much more narrow than on most wraps. This can be an advantage as it doesn’t restrict your arm movement, but you may feel your baby’s weight a little more in your shoulder and neck muscles.

Our favorite feature of this great wrap is the zipper pocket on the waistband. It makes for a simple place to store your keys, money, cell phone, or pacifiers when you’re out and about.

Babies are lulled to sleep within minutes in this wrap, and you won’t have to stop to adjust the fabric behind them every few minutes while they rest. The gentle padding keeps the wrap in place, no matter how heavy their little head is while it’s drooping.

The wrap folds up into a small pouch you can toss in your purse or diaper bag.
