How to wear your wrap carrier

Wrap carriers are lightweight and soft, soothing and secure, promote bonding, allow your hands to be free and can be used from birth - they’re one of my must-have items. I survived 2017 by wearing Xav in a wrap carrier and by growing two extra eyes in my head and lightening quick reflexes to keep tabs on toddler Seb. The ability to have your hands free is supreme, most of the time I could tuck Xav in the wrap and carryon whatever I was doing next - laundry, chasing a toddler, pushing a pram, preparing dinner, reading a book, a supermarket trip or the sideline of the rugby field. With a bit of practice you’ll be able to wrap your baby in a minute and get to enjoy hours of beautiful moments.
