9 Baby Carrier Wraps Like Moby But Better (2025 Review)
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Our editors have researched and tried the best sustainable baby products with our own families. These are our picks for baby wraps and carriers that are organic, ergonomic, and built to last.
As I write this, I’m wearing my 1-month-old baby girl. She’s a cuddler and needs to be on me most of the time, especially to fall asleep. After a baby is born, transitioning from the womb to the world is a trying experience. This is where baby wraps and carriers come in. 🐣
Baby-wearing brings your baby back into your embrace and eases them into their new environment. In a wrap or a carrier, your baby will hear your heartbeat and feel soothed by your gentle motion, just like in the womb. It’s also helpful for the parent to learn and respond to your new baby’s cues. You’ll notice their pecking motion when it’s time to feed or the sounds they make when it’s time for a diaper change. Also, for those breastfeeding, this closeness boosts oxytocin, the so-called love hormone, and can increase milk supply.
For thousands of years, baby-wearing has been an important part of raising a child. Today, baby-wearing options are more functional, stylish, and ergonomic for both wearer and baby. Also, baby-wearing is great for those with multiple kids so you can take care of the older children while the baby sleeps on the go.
So, finding the right baby wrap is key. It may take trying out a few before you find the one that is suitable for you, your lifestyle, and your baby. Below, you can see our suggestions based on the most important factors for a new parent. While you’re shopping, you might also consider asking others in your community to borrow their carriers to try out.
Why choose an organic baby carrier or wrap?
When it comes to what you put on your baby’s skin, it’s important to be mindful. This includes choosing fabrics free from harmful chemicals and synthetics. Infant skin is sensitive and you want to protect your little one from anything that might irritate it. Organic cotton and other natural fibers also help to regulate babies’ body temperatures — and it’s vital to reduce the risk of overheating, especially when sharing body heat! Baby carriers made from organic, natural fabrics will be breathable, gentle on the skin, and better for the environment, too. Organic farming uses fewer synthetic chemicals, reduces pollution, and supports biodiversity. Not to mention, an organic carrier will break down if it ever ends up in a landfill — though we doubt that will happen with the well-made options below.
Our criteria:
Many of our editors are also mothers — and we’ve spent years researching, testing, and corresponding with the top sustainable, eco-friendly, and nontoxic brands for babies and kids. For this guide, we compiled baby carrier wraps that are safe, ergonomic, and durable. We regularly update this list with emerging picks when they meet the below criteria.
- ORGANIC/NONTOXIC | The brands on this list use organic cotton or other natural fibers grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). All use natural, nontoxic dyes.
- ERGONOMIC | All of the options on this list are engineered for both your comfort and your little one’s. We’ve included a number of styles so you can choose which suits your family best.
- DURABILITY | Sustainable baby products are naturally more durable and well-made — so you can expect these products to last and even become hand-me-downs for the next generation.

1. Solly Baby
Best For | Simple skin-to-skin baby wraps
Features | Customizable fit, certified Hip-Healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute
Prices starting at | $75
Solly Baby was started by a mother of two who found baby-wearing to be vital while caring for her infant and toddler. Her design focuses on tight, skin-to-skin wearing while being fashionable enough to go with her outfits. Since then, “The New York Times” has named Solly the best wrap and “Vogue” picked it as a top gift for new mothers. Solly wraps are made from sustainably sourced and biodegradable, 100% certified Tencel Modal. This fabric is cool and breathable which helps to regulate baby’s temperature. This fabric is also easy to wash by tossing it in with your baby’s other delicate clothing. Solly baby wraps also fit all body types since they’re made to adjust perfectly to you. This design also evenly distributes weight on the upper body which supports your shoulders. Note that wraps take a bit more time and patience to learn how to properly wear them as compared to carriers. That said, they’re not for everyone. Solly’s tutorials as a helpful first step. I personally love to wear my Solly at home when I don’t have anywhere to run off to!
Customer Review | “So I wasn’t sure how I felt about a wrap… it intimidated me trying to figure it out but once I did, total GAME CHANGER. Seriously, watch the tutorials and stick with it!! This is hands down my most used baby item. I use it daily. It’s also what I reach for every time my baby is fussy — it immediately calms her down and then I get to be hands free on my walks or doing things around the house which is so amazing. I want this wrap in every color!! I absolutely love this thing and couldn’t live without it!! My baby is almost 3 months old and we still use it all the time. She is on the smaller side but I see us using it for months to come.” – Ellen G (Read more reviews.)

Customer Review | “I’ve been babywearing for a long time and have never found a carrier with so many features. We bought this before my daughter was born and she started contact napping in it for my partner, and often myself, by around a month old. 18 months later and she still spends about 2 hours a day, minimum, in the exact same carrier. Whether she needs comfort or a cuddle or relief on a walk or to nurse, this carrier allows us so much connection… and comfort. It has now been on two international trips, the latest on which we FORGOT the stroller, and still managed to walk 10+ miles a day with our 25 lb toddler. My partner and I are very different sizes and our daughter fits comfortably for both of us. I am 5’5 and about 200 lbs, he is 6’4 and 275.” – Stephanie (Read more reviews.)

He is almost 8 months old and I still use it super often!! I own another wrap style carrier from another brand but find this one to be a lot more supportive for my baby as he has gotten older. It’s so easy to use once you get the hang of it. I love how soft it is and how beautiful the color is (I have it in Beige Melange). Super easy to wash and has held up amazingly!

Customer Review | “Mesh is breathable, kind of like a back pack. Comfortable on the back and hips. I don’t feel achy after carrying bubs in this for hours (bubs is a big baby, 8kg at 4 months). Love the hood it comes with. So useful. There’s a little pouch to tuck it away if hood is not needed. I only wish it came with a carrier bag, but it really is the best carrier ever. Looking forward to carrying bubs in different orientations.” – Nur B (Read more reviews.)
9. hope&plum
Best For | Lightweight, custom-pattern carriers
Features | Ethically made, sustainable materials, size-inclusive
Prices starting at | $90
hope&plum was started by a mama after a traumatic birth experience. She longed to hold her newborn but wasn’t able to for the first few days — so she used babywearing to make up for the lost time. It allowed her to create that sacred bond between her and her baby. Today, the brand is women-owned and run by mamas who help others on their baby-wearing journey. All hope&plum carriers and wraps are sewn ethically in Minnesota and made from a high-quality blend of hemp and organic cotton. The Lark is their staple carrier for front and back wear. Its lightweight fabric suits all seasons, climates, and body types. They also have a collection of ring slings and wraps in a wide variety of patterns. Last, they have the Meh Dai carrier that combines the traditional wrap with an apron-like style that gives it an adjustable panel. Essentially it’s more structured than ring slings and wraps, but it has no buckles. It also accommodates 7–45 lbs, the highest weight limit out of all their carriers.
Customer Review | “LOVE my Lark! Didn’t believe all the hype … thought reviews were all fluff… but BELIEVE THE HYPE. Very comfortable, even with my bad back, large bust and petite height. Purchased another within a week of owning this.” – Naomi B (Read more reviews.)
