Storchenwiege Woven Cotton Baby Carrier Wrap (2.7, Leo Bordeaux)

We have five kids, from 17 to 2.5, and this is seriously the BEST baby item I have ever purchased! It is better than a stroller, a bouncy seat, a swing, a pacifier, or whatever it is you think is essential for your baby. Really.I wanted a wrap for our fourth baby and researched a bunch of them. Most people I know had a Moby and said they were the best (they totally lied!); I also asked my midwife and she recommended a Storchenwiege. She said she had one and had worn it many times for births, for more than eight hours at a time with her toddler, and her back had never become tired or sore. I thought that was a pretty good recommendation, but decided to buy the Moby instead as it was considerably less expensive and well, everyone else had one - right? Well, I hated the Moby! I couldn't even carry my newborn, 8 pound baby in it for more than 15-20 minutes without the baby either slowly sliding (technically stretching) lower and lower on my body, or hurting my back, or both. It was ridiculous! So, I finally splurged and and bought a Storchenwiege wrap. I was really hoping I wasn't making a mistake - it was kind of an expensive purchase for "just a piece of cloth".WOW!! I have been SO impressed with this wrap! I love it! I have had it for five years and wish I had known about them with my first three babies. I now consider my Storchenwiege an essential baby item - forget swings and bouncy seats, or whatever else you think your baby needs, and get a Stochenweige! If I were to have to pick just one baby item that wasn't truly essential, but "just because", I would choose my Storchenwiege. It has become a favorite and an absolute must! I take it with me everywhere and still put my almost three year old in it. I use it when we go on walks, to the grocery store, to the park, riding horses, on bike rides, around the house, to do yard work, and any other time I want to carry my little ones but need both hands.Sometimes my little ones have only been it it for about 30 minutes, like when I make a quick run to the grocery store, but most of the time they are in it for hours at a time. My little boys have both stayed positioned correctly the entire time without sliding down, even on an eight hour horse ride! Occasionally I have had to re-snug the tie a little bit (or tie it a little tighter), but I have never once had my back ache or been uncomfortable wearing it. I have put both of my youngest in it starting when they were brand new and around 7 pounds, and still put my almost three year old, who is between 25-30 pounds (?) in it and have never had any issues.I love that I have been able to put my little guys in this and have both hands free to use. They are still snuggled into me and I can kiss the tops of their little heads! It is awesome! I also really like that I can very easily tuck them into it, especially their little hands, so that people can't touch my babies (I hate people putting their hands all over my babies!). Something else I love about this is that even after five years and HUNDREDS, yes, hundreds, of washes it still looks brand new! This is hands-down the best wrap and I could not be more pleased that I bought it (unless of course I had purchased it sooner to use with my other babies!)!! I LOVE this wrap!

Love these wraps. Bought a long one for back carries and a short for kangaroo on the hip. My 14mo old son grew out of the thin woven wrap we had at about 6mo. The stretchers are no good for back carries.My 26mo niece got wrapped in a back carry for the first time tonight (her mamma said she didn't like wraps, but that was when she was an infant).She patiently hung on as I tighten the wrap, telling her what I was doing as I did it. When she was all tightened in with knees tucked-up, I asked if she was 'ok'. She replied "I happy" and melted/snuggled right in.Her weight was nicely disributed in a double hammock (see 'wrap you in love' YouTube videos).I bought one for my Sister tonight for her to learn to use for LO. It is amazing to be able to tie the baby up to do chores... particularly if they don't want a nap... for with my guy, all it take is a bit of laundry (sorting/folding), and he is out like a light and easily transitions to the crib without waking. Maybe I'm just lucky, but regardless, these are awesome wraps.

I love babywearing. I have owned many different wraps of varying price points and fabric content. If you have done much woven wrap research, you undoubtedly have read great reviews of Leo. This wrap lives up to the hype! For a modest sum (compared to many wovens out there) you get an amazing wrap that will take you from infancy through toddlerhood. I was pleasantly surprised at how thin Leo is--much thinner than my Natibaby 100% cotton--yet it is so very supportive (my wrapee is 24#). Even in multi-layer carries, my little and I remain cool; this will be a great wrap for warmer months. The photo does not do justice to the lovely color of this wrap. It almost shimmers. I could not be happier with my purchase!

Leo Storch's are awesome, grippy but not too grippy, with enough cush to be comfy, if not actually 'marshmellowy' it's no big thing, because you can wear baby for hours without having to readjust, plus you don't have to baby it, it hides dirt and it's not a snaggy weave at all - I LOVE IT. Red threads and blue threads combine to create a really rich purple at a distance. Originally did not think I wanted the rails to contrast, but with one red and one blue rail(edge), I'm able to more quickly adjust and tighten and 'know' what I'm doing and learning new carries is much easier. So sturdy and yet nice and floppy when broken in! Love love LOVE.

This wrap has a nice weight and feel to it. It doesn’t give too much and feels secure. Beautiful blue color. Now.m, if only I could hwy better at wrapping!

I absolutely love this wrap. I have a huge collection, and this was a must-have for new baby due in August. Grippy without being thick, supportive without digging, very quick to break in!

I bought this wrap for my wife after she had been raving about all the positive reviews. Upon opening the wrap, her excitement quickly turned to disappointment when she saw that the middle marker was off by almost 2 feet! We understand that sometimes it can be off by a couple of inches, maybe even a foot, but 2 feet seems a bit excessive.

I ordered this wrap in a size 4 (3.6m) and a size 5 (4.1m). The size 4 is perfect for me as I don't like a lot of extra material. I am 5'9" and about 125lbs. It is perfect for front wrap cross carry (tied under bum), rucksack carry (tied in front), and I can even double hammock (tied under bum) in it. It is beautiful and supportive enough to be toddler-worthy. I live in FL and while not my coolest wrap, still my favorite.

Ich hab dieses Tuch gekauft nach dem ich eins von Hoppediz von meiner Hebamme geliehen hatte. Ich dachte es würde kaum einen Unterschied geben, da beide Tücher eigentlich recht hochwertig zu seien scheinen. Doch leider ist meines Erachtens dieses Tuch sehr viel steifer. Es lässt sich nicht so gut hinten zusammenknoten und ich finde es schwierig dem Kopf genug halt zu bieten. Entweder es ist zu fest oder zu locker. Nun soll dieses Tuch ja einige Zeit brauchen um "eingetragen" zu werden. Ich nutze es fast täglich seit drei Wochen und frage mich wann es nun endlich eingetragen und weicher ist. Die Farben sind allerdings sehr schön auch nach dem Waschen. Das nächste Mal kauf ich ein gebrauchtes Tuch.

Das Tuch ist schon super, guter Stoff und das Baby ist gut verpackt und wird von Umweltreizen abgeschirmt. In der Anfangszeit war es der Garant für ein schlafendes Baby, ich konnte sie so meinem Mann umbinden und im Notfall kurz weg.Später schien es ihr zu eng, sie wollte ungern hinein, wir haben jetzt den Carrier von Storchenwiege - sehr zu empfehlen als Folgemodell.

Saß Tuch hat nur gute Testergebnisse bekommen und darum habe ich es gekauft. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Qualität des Tuchs und das Design ist zum verlieben. Eine wunderschöne schmeicheln Farbe, die das ganze noch kuscheliger macht als es so schon ist!

Das Tragetuch ist angenehm zu tragen und der Stoff lässt sich gut binden. Die Farbe ist noch schöner als auf dem Bild. Der blaue Streifen auf der einen Seite ist super für die Orientierung. Die Lieferung klappte ebenfalls schnell und Problemlos. Bin sehr zufrieden.

Lässt sich sehr gut binden. Super Stoffqualität. Hält auch 60 Grad Wäsche und Trockner stand. Material Querelastisch, ermöglicht somit das Baby fest genug einzubinden
