On the flip side, it’s worth noting that unlike sling carriers such as the Izmi Essential Wrap or Boba Wrap, the Ergobaby Omni 360 doesn’t fold down flat, so it’s not the easiest to stash away into your changing bag or pushchair storage basket.

But one parent shared that since the Solly Baby wrap has a thinner material, it seems to offer less support and digs into their baby’s knees.Care: Between feedings, drool and baby spit-up, these baby carriers are going to get dirty pretty fast. Easy care instructions are going to be most convenient, which is why we prioritized wraps that are machine-washable. We also made sure to see how reviewers felt about the wrap’s durability over time and whether they held up to multiple washes. Shelley Gingrich, Executive Director of Brand Solutions at What to Expect, also loved using the Solly Baby wrap, noting its soft, lightweight material that never got hot.

And don’t worry: Spills and stains like spit-up or a diaper blowout won’t ruin things. You can toss the Boba wrap in the washing machine whenever it needs a refresh.
