Perfect to use from birth (6lbs/2.5kg), super comfy and dreamily soft, these elasticated baby wraps are one-size-fits-all and perfect for both mums and dads. On a budget and deciding between and baby wrap and a carrier? Well, you don’t have to, thanks to the great value Izmi Essential Bundle. These wraps are super easy to get the hang of. You might need a few tries to get your wrap tied perfectly, but it’ll soon be easy as tying your shoelaces. When testing slings and wraps we consider a number of factors including ease of use, material, comfort and value for money. The Caboo + Organic comes in two parts – the first you simply pop over your head like a t-shirt, before adjusting the size using the two sets of rings.

The Izmi Essential Baby Wrap is a great value cotton alternative to the luxurious bamboo Izmi Baby Wrap. There have been lots of near-identical versions of the Caboo over the years, but this Organic version has the softest and best quality fabric. You then pop your baby into the cross of fabric made by the sling on your front, and lastly tie the support band around you both. Simply tie the wrap tightly around your body and pop your baby in and out during the day. You can breastfeed in all these wraps, too.

The Caboo has long been a favourite of parents who want a soft stretchy newborn sling, without zero faff. You can also use this to carry newborn twins. TOP TIP: Most baby wraps have an upper weight limit of around 10-12kg (22-28lbs). But once your baby is 4 – 5 months old, most families will find a more structured baby carrier much more supportive, especially for longer walks.
