Have you tried the Moby Wrap? I’ve always had a thing for baby carriers, so when my baby was born I couldn’t wait to try the Moby Wrap. Though my baby ultimately showed preference for the Ergo , I did enjoy giving the Moby Wrap a go.

For parents who are looking for a natural and versatile carrying option, the Moby Wrap may be the ideal pick. It’s surprisingly simple in design–one piece of cloth, which is free of complicated snaps, buckles or fasteners. The best part, though, is that Moby Wrap keeps mom (or dad) and baby close. Given that babies don’t stay babies for long, the snuggle factor alone scores Moby a thumbs-up, at least in my book.

March 11, 2008: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (”CPSC”) has announced a voluntary recall of Ellaroo Ring Sling Baby Carriers (item numbers 2101 and 2102 printed on the outside of the product box, lot numbers 03/07 and 07/04 printed on a label), manufactured by Ellaroo LLC, of McKinney, Texas.

According to CPSC, “The aluminum rings on the sling carriers can bend or break. This can cause the fabric to slip through the rings and infants to fall out of the carrier.”

The recall affects approximately 1,200 sling units. No injuries have been reported.

If you have a sling carrier affected by the recall, CPSC advises you to immediately discontinue use of the carrier and contact Ellaroo. For further information about this recall, check out the CPSC news release here.
