I hear everyone suggesting maya wrap but wasn't there a recall on one of their products? -- I found this about a product recall, so I would assume that people should be careful not to get this particular wrap if it is still on the shelves... It is likely to be long gone though. They were only sold between Jan and July of 2001. I would be wary of getting one second hand though and know what to look for. http://www.infozine.com/news/stories...sView/sid/176/ Maya Wrap Announce Recall of Infant Carriers/Slings posted by :: infoZine Staff :: 09/25/01 @ 04:32:54 PM :: views Product Recalls In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Maya Wrap, of Omaha, Neb., is voluntarily recalling about 5,000 infant carriers/slings. WASHINGTON, D.C. - The welds of the metal rings that support the carriers/slings can break, posing a fall hazard to young children. Maya Wrap has received 20 reports of the rings breaking. The company received a report that one child fell to the ground but no injuries were reported. The recalled carriers/slings are made of 100-percent cotton fabric with two metal support rings. The rings measure 1/8-inch in width. They were sold in a variety of colors, prints, and sizes. A large white label sewn in the slings reads in part, "MAYA WRAP" and "ECHO EN GUATEMALA". Web sites and individual distributors nationwide sold these carrier/slings from January 2001 through July 2001 for between $30 and $40. Also, eight children's boutiques in various states sold these carrier/slings. Consumers should stop using these carriers/slings immediately and call Maya Wrap at (800) 501-9979 anytime for instructions on how to have the carriers/slings repaired. Carriers/slings with 1/4-inch width rings are not included in this recall. -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. Outer Limits |

It is not very practical for me to use a stroller on a regular basis because of where I live (E.g. lots of stairs, very crowded streets etc.). Right now, my baby is about 64cm long & fifteen pounds. Does anyone have any suggestions for a carrier for such a young & big baby? You can use a Maya Wrap (http://www.mayawrap.com) for about as long as your back and shoulders hold up. seconded. i still use my Maya wrap for my 35 month old (38" tall, 27 pounds). it really helps take the stress off carrying him on my hip & he likes piggybacking in it too. lee -- It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them. -Leo Buscaglia, author (1924-1998) |
