[Mom2M]

Just wanted to share this video, it is the best one I have seen for how to do a rucksack carry and I can't wait till DD wakes up to try it!

What kind of material do you think that wrap is made of? I made a moby out of t-shirt cotton and now my bubba is 22 lbs, it's too stretchy to do back carry safely. What material would work for this type of back carry?

That's an Ellaroo wrap, which is a lightweight woven, non-stretchy wrap. The colour pattern is called Ysabel. You're definitely right to feel it's not safe to do back carries with a stretchy wrap! It's not safe even when the baby is very small.

Thanks so much! I'll have to look at an Ellaroo if I don't get an Ergo. I just have to clarify, I never back carried him with my moby, basically it's too stretchy for any carry now. Sorry, I re-read what I wrote and realize how it sounded. Yikes!
