If you are looking to graduate from your stretchy wrap to something more stable and versatile that will grow as your child grows, look no further than Poe Wovens. These woven wraps are incredibly sturdy, soft to the touch, and available in a wide variety of sizes to suit all children and carries. Unlike stretchy wraps, these wovens can support both babies and toddlers and can be used to safely back carry.
If you have never gotten into the whole babywearing scene, you may be wondering why you should choose to wrap your child instead of using a stroller. Personally, I have room in my life for both strollers and wraps. Depending on the situation, one will just be more convenient than the other. Babywearing allows me to stay close with my son, keeping him at eye level, which encourages us to interact with each other. It keeps us close and lets him feel secure in interacting with others, who are also at eye level with him. When going anywhere that isn’t especially stroller friendly, it allows me to move freely.
As an avid babywearer, I am always on the lookout for stylish wraps that can support the weight of my toddler son. I can’t stand it when my wrap doesn’t match my outfit, so I enjoy keeping my options open. Having started when my daughter was a baby, I currently have quite the stash going. Now that we are in the heat of summer, I am also searching for wraps that keep the two of us cool despite the closeness. There are plenty of beautiful and supportive wraps out there that leave you sweating in the summer heat.
But not Poe Wovens. I personally received a sample wrap from the company a short while ago: their Harlequin Platine. It is a beautiful harlequin pattern made with a durable/ dense weave. A harlequin pattern is a repeating pattern of contrasting diamonds or elongated squares standing on end. A comic, ballet or pantomime character from the Commedia dell’Arte and harlequinade. It arrived just in time for me to put it to the test on one of the hottest days this summer has delivered thus far. I broke it in a bit using the instruction from the company and then, after my son’s nap, I put him on my back in a double rebozo shoulder to shoulder carry and set off for the park.
When we arrived, we were both still comfortable and mostly sweat free—as sweat free as one can expect on a summer day. The wrap supported him well while still remaining soft on our skin. I can tell that, as I break it in more, it will become one of the softer wraps I own. To top it off, the pattern is incredibly beautiful while remaining neutral enough to wear with a wide variety of outfits.
Right now, the Harlequin Platine from Poe Wovens is on sale for $120. It comes in sizes 2-7, so you are guaranteed to be able to purchase one that works for you. If the Harlequin Platine isn’t quite your style, Poe Wovens has plenty of different colors and patterns to choose from. Take some time to browse their selection and find the perfect wrap for you.
I never seen these kind of wraps before! I like it! Thanks for sharing!
