In sum, I think this is an excellent product and it’s been greatly beneficial to our family and needs.From a more detailed view, I needed something to help me carry my baby (6 months old) due to living with a widespread and severe fibromyalgia (particularly affecting my back, hips, knees and arms/hands), I needed something to aid me holding my baby as comfortably as possible. I needed lightweight and easy to get on with minimal knot tying/clasps/buttons etc. If the product could also be worn by my husband that was a bonus.When born, I used a kangaroo care top which I loved as it held her close and took much of the weight off my hands. She’s now longer and heavier and while she fits in the top, she is really too long for it so I was looking for something to wear over my own clothes and grow with her. We have an ergobaby carrier which fits my husband but feels to too bulky on my shoulders and I cannot get the back clips done up on my own and it’s also very padded and hot for baby as we come into summer. Slings look comfortable but the formation of wrapping fabric would be difficult for me and I’d be concerned at tying secure knots.I’d seen an ad for a wrap and thought it was an ideal mix between the sling and bigger carriers. The one I saw was literally two loops of fabric so needed to be perfectly fitted to the wearer so whilst it was best for ease of use it would be no use for my husband and I to both use. It was also £60 so would be a lot for us both to buy one. That’s when I found this product!This was £30 so half the price of the other one. It comes with a ring pull tightening system so it’s easy for me to use and feels very secure. I’ve not found it to loosen at all when wearing the wrap. It means both my husband and I can wear comfortably (I’m 5’8 size 12 and he is 6’2 and a large T-shirt size). So easy to get on, breathable fabric and cooler and comfortable for baby. Love the additional pocket piece for convenience to place of small items but also as an additional support to baby – this does need a knot tied around but as it’s not the main part holding baby, I’m not fearful of it loosening and compromising baby security. I’ve worn the wrap both with and without this extra part and even without, she feels secure.The back padding is comfortable even with my condition. I wanted something that could make holding my baby as comfortable and least painful as possible – I’m always going to have a backache but this wrap means I’m able to hold her for longer and more comfortably in terms of back pain and without getting additional pain in my hands/arms. Also leaving hands free to manage another task if needed. I don’t think there is any product on the market which would eliminate pain for those of us with physical difficulty so it’s more about what can be used as an aid – this ticks all my boxes and had been a massive help already.I noted comments before I bought about concerns using with a baby over 12 weeks. My baby is 6 months and weighs over a stone. She’s not particularly big for her age but also not super small. I find she fitted in this so well, both my husband and I felt she was as secure as in the big bulky carrier. When bending over, I’d always use a hand as added support on her back for safety sake but I generally feel I will be able to use this as she gets bigger and older as it’s flexiable with fitting.Really really pleased I purchased! I hope this review is helpful for anyone else like me, whose looking for a product not just for style but for a complicated set of needs that’s not easily catered for on the baby market.

Really easy to use, fabric super soft and does not scratch. Baby loves cuddling in and mam likes free hands to get some jobs done. We used the demonstration video to learn quicker how to put on and it was super easy.

This was a lifesaver at getting baby to sleep during the first 3 months of his life. Very easy to put on alone, only negative I doubted whether the position was that good for baby’s back. I wouldn’t use it out the house either as again worried about the support during long periods of time. It become a bit tight after 3 months and we moved onto a sturdy carrier but done the job for short while.

I loved my koala wrap, or the parts I received should I say, the material was great for my small newborn but I did only receive 1 part, when I messaged them to rectify they told me to buy it again and they’d refund 10%, meaning I’d of spent £85 total to get the same thing I should’ve received first time, but other than that, the wrap was lovely and I imagine very supportive with all the correct pieces, shame really as I use my current carrier daily so it would’ve been well usedEdit : they have since messaged me and it turns out I bought from a company called BWSUPPLIES which apparently wasn’t selling genuine products, I have since received a wrap directly from them and the quality is 10/10 and design is a lot different, this wrap feels good quality

Not sure if this product works well for me. Shoulders are achy after having baby in it for a short time. No matter how much I readjust, It feels like the baby is sitting low in it so it doesn’t feel 100% secure, especially for babies head. However, baby does like to sleep in it for short naps.

I bought this because my baby loves being worn and often will only settle in a sling, but the stretchy wrap I had before was taking too long to put on and off (and I never could manage to work out how to feed him in it, so I’d have to take it off for every feed). This one is so much more convenient and easy to use. I was concerned that being plus size (18-20) it wouldn’t fit, but it definitely does and would fit someone a fair few sizes bigger than me too, as there’s plenty of fabric spare.

I have tried wraps before, but as this one seems to be a ‘pre made’ wrap and it goes over your head like a teeshirt, so so easy to use when you get the hang of it. When my little one is unsettled, I pop it on, pop him into it and settle him easily, he falls asleep almost instantly and I even cooked dinner before with him in it. Went to a zoo and walked the day wearing my baby. It’s what I go to if I need to hold him and do something at the same time. So glad I found this wrap. It’s comfortable when fitted properly, not too tight, not too loose. Instructions are good to understand. Still I needed some practice to use it but I’m now a pro! I would really recommend this wrap to any parents I know. When I was walking a lot wearing it, my back didn’t get sweaty. Baby had a lot of air pockets and it was a win win for us.

The most comfortable!
I have a solly baby wrap, the baby k’tan, and now this koala wrap and this one is by far the most comfortable, affordable, and just all around best baby wrap I have used. The baby K’tan is a similar concept but I find this one to be the most comfortable for my back and shoulders. I have absolutely no pain or fatigue in my shoulders and back when carrying my baby. I highly recommend it for any parent out there. It’s so easy to use as well which is a huge plus. Very quick to put on once you get the hang of it which doesn’t even take long at all.
