Wrap

A carrier-cloth, so simple!

The wrap carrier is a simple piece of cloth — most of the time it needs no sewing, it needs nothing, it is very easy to make yourself!

It distributes the weight across both shoulders, very convenient for long trips with a heavy child, very comfortable when you wear it correctly.

The wrap is convenient for hands-free breastfeeding (but it needs adjustment of the tie — if the child wants to be at the breast constantly it may be a bit more time-consuming).

Very flexible (many ways of tying and positioning the child).

It takes a little more “learning”, especially for back positions (it is, however, a small investment of time that is definitely worth it!). You can see detailed instructions for your Asteraki wrap here.

It is less simple to put the child in and take it out of some positions (it’s not as convenient when you need to take it down constantly).

It takes a little time to tie, and so much fabric may confuse some people (but once you get used to it, it is actually very simple)!

It is generally a warm carrier, not especially suited to the Greek summer.

Usually, those who use a stretchy wrap with their newborn baby look for an alternative (either another type of carrier, or a firm wrap) once the baby grows and gets heavy enough.

Attention: only wraps made from completely firm fabric are suitable for back positions. Wrap carriers made from stretchy fabric are not suitable for this position.

If you are trying to decide which type of carrier is the most suitable for you and your baby, read this: “Which carrier should I choose for my baby”? If the wrap has already won you over, you can choose between a wrap made from stretchy fabric and a wrap made from firm woven fabric.
