2010 Holiday Gift Guide – MetroWrap Review And Giveaway Ends 11/20 (US)

October 2, 2017November 6, 2010 by Vivian

I consider myself a quasi attachment parenting mama–meaning I’ve adopted a lot of the attachment parenting principles. My favorite attachment parenting philosophy is baby wearing. From the moment my oldest daughter was born, I kept her close to me in a variety of babywearing apparatuses–we tried everything from a sling (too floppy!), to a rigid baby carrier (too uncomfortable), to an ergodynamic carrier (too limiting). Finally I found the baby carrier of my dreams–the wrap!

By the time my second daughter was born, my husband and I thought we knew everything about baby wearing. We loved our wrap because it was truly one size fits all, it was comfortable (i wore it with my 28lb 18-month old when i was 9-months pregnant!), and it had lots of different holding and carrying options. The only issue we had with the wrap was that it was pretty unattractive–it took over our whole outfit and wasn’t chic…at all.

Then the metromammas contacted us about their stylish baby carrier–the Metro Wrap. Just one look and I knew I would love it immediately! These metro mamas know that moms don’t want to look frumpy when they are showing off their new babies so they came up with an amazingly chic baby wrap without sacrificing any function–in fact, it was even better than any of the other baby carriers we’d tried in the past.

With their convenient fashion chart, the metromammas helped me decide which color MetroWrap to receive based on my wardrobe colors. They also have “bling” options to really make your wrap unique and fun! I chose the classic Fleur de Lis design that adds a little flair while still being sophisticated. I absolutely loved that the MetroMama website even included fashion tips on how to wear their blinged-out baby carriers.

When my new MetroWrap arrived I knew instantly that this carrier was set apart from all the other baby carriers we’d ever purchased. The metromamma company even made their packaging attractive, complete with great photographs and clear instructions on how to put on a baby wrap.

I was so impressed with their packaging that I even took a picture! Illustrated below is their quick guide to putting on a MetroWrap:

I couldn’t wait to try it on and did so immediately even though my 8-month old was still sleeping!

It literally took me less than a minute to put it on. I was so amazed by how easy it was to wrap that I took two videos to convince you that you can do it, too! Here is my step-by-step version:

Feel free to view the faster version of how I put the MetroWrap on in roughly 30 seconds here.

Even without my daughter in the wrap, I felt stylish–in fact, metromammas say that you can even wear their MetroWrap without a baby and look chic while using their baby wrap as an accessory! When Caroline woke up, I found placing her inside was very simple–even for a squirmy 9-month old. Of course, I felt that it was so easy that I had to share it with another video!

I absolutely loved having her close to me while she was in the wrap. She seemed to love it, too–we were both comfortable and she was content to be held–not squirming to get out like she does in other baby carriers!

The Original MetroWrap costs $79.99 and the Bling MetroWrap costs $129.99. You can purchase it online or in a store near you. If you are on the fence about this incredible wrap, here are a few reasons why I think the MetroWrap is worth purchasing!

It is stylish! I cannot believe I’d ever say that a baby carrier could be a fashion statement but with the MetroWrap, it truly is.
It is truly simple to tie on and use–taking less than a minute once you get the hang of it!
It is supremely comfortable–for both you and your baby!
It is versatile–you can carry your child on your hip, back, facing out, or facing in–that is tough to beat in a baby carrier!
It can be used for a newborn all the way up to a toddler–I’ve used it for my 2-year old (and 32 pounder!) with relative ease–and she loved it!

When looking for a new baby carrier the MetroWrap is the perfect choice for you and a wonderful gift for a new mom or dad!
