HI Elizabeth,

I was wondering if you knew if there was a difference between the hugabub wrap and the sleepy wrap, besides the price?

Hi Elizabeth,

For back carries for an older child the Ergo is likely more comfortable. I’m a very hesitant back carry user, so the Ergo is the only way I’d back carry :). I like the Sleepy Wrap because it is SO intuitive, you just plop your child in. No buckles, no straps, no adjustments!

My 2.5 year old isn’t carried much anymore now that we have new baby here - mostly in arms with Pappa, and he’s not big into carriers. So, yes, if you are aold out back carry fan, I’d go with the Ergo :). Hope this helps!

Thanks for this review, I found it very interesting. I have an ERGO carrier, and I find that it’s very comfortable and a quality carrier. I was wondering what it was about the sleepy wrap that you liked better than the ERGO. Especially for your older daughter. I didn’t think the ergo was amazingly comfy for a little baby, but it worked great for toddlers and older babies. When you have an older one isn’t it not very convenient having them in front when you’re trying to cook, clean, go for walks, ect? I’m sold on it for little ones, and I can see that the fabric can handle alot of weight. (from their website) But it still seems to me that when the baby/child is older it would be hard having them in front all the time, and it doesn’t seem to have the versatility to do that back carry easily.

Thanks for you review, especially the picture with your older daughter. I will be travelling with my daughter (9 months) alone and was looking for stroller alternatives.

Greetings from Germany,

Thanks for the great review and photos. I’m going to buy one of these now. I have an INfantino Sling RIder which is terrible and also a carrier which is a little better but the straps and buckles tend to dig into baby’s legs and get in her face. I just got a $70 ring sling but having trouble with it, too. This looks perfect — lots of nice soft fabric instead of pinchy scratchy straps and loud velcro. I’m going to blogroll you when I get my mommy blog up and running!

This is really interesting. Like you mentioned, having my third child, I’m a lil apprehensive in buying (yet another) baby carrier…but my current one is really stiff..and I’m not too happy with it.

I’ve been waiting for this SleepyWrap review as I wanted to see what other mums would say about it.

So, thanks for sharing!

I was just reading through some of the other reviews for the Sleepy Wrap and was inspired to try nursing in the Sleepy Wrap. WOW! This is the FIRST carrier I’ve been able to nurse truly hands-free in! And I am fairly large chested! And I have a newborn (1 3/4 weeks old)! I put her to sleep while I was cleaning the top of the stove/wiping the counters down while nursing her! WOW! I’m so impressed!

[...] Jennifer Uses Sleepy Wrap On Both of Her Children - The Sleepy Wrap baby carrier is the best baby carrier I’ve ever owned. I don’t say that lightly. I started wearing my babies when my first was born, over five years ago now. I’ve owned a Rebozo, Over the Shoulder Baby Holder, Kangaroo Adjustable Fleece Pouch, Ergo, Mama Baby Ring Slings, Shower Sling, Baby Bjorn, hmmm am I missing any? I wish that the Sleepy Wrap had been available with my first born. I wish that I hadn’t been intimidated by baby wraps in the past. My husband thinks we should buy more of them, in many different colours! They are certainly affordable enough - for a baby carrier that is so easy to use, $34.00 is a steal of a deal, I doubt you could buy a similar, high quality fabric in the quantity needed for that price!

The Sleepy Wrap looks like it would make an useful and thoughful baby shower present. Thank for the good idea.
