Wallypop Versa-Carry Wraps

Are you looking for a comfortable way to carry your baby or toddler? Look no further - the Wallypop Versa-Carry Wrap allows you to carry a baby or toddler even for long periods of time in comfort. The weight of a smaller baby seems to disappear in the wrap, and toddlers even feel much lighter. The wrap distributes baby's weight evenly over both shoulders, then supports your back.

This carrier is so versatile, too - you can carry a baby facing in, facing out, laying down, or on your back in a myriad of configurations. The Versa-Carry Wrap is "poppable," meaning that you can put it on once, and pop baby in and out all day as needed. A wrap has the longest learning curve of all sling types, but it's actually not that hard to learn. A note from a happy customer: I have already tried the wrap. You were right, it's not that hard. My daughter liked it so much she was upset when I pulled her out. Thanks!!! (Jennifer A.)

In addition to the instock Versa-Carry Wraps listed below, you may also order a Made-To-Order or custom sling. Please use the Made-To-Order form below to let us know what fabric and features you'd like on your sling. If you'd like a completely custom sling, please see our Custom Sewing page.

Available Options Explained:

Customer Fabric: Please contact us before selecting your fabric, we will provide you with guidelines.
Add Center Pocket: A pocket will be sewn to the middle of the wrap. This will help you find the middle for ease of use, provides a handy place to stash some money or small items, and also serves as a storage bag for the wrap itself. A small carrying strap is included.
Add Pocket on Tail: A pocket will be sewn to the end of the wrap. This pocket provides a handy place to stash some money or small items, and also serves as a storage bag for the wrap itself. A small carrying strap is included.
Add Appliqué to Center: Subject to availability, we'll do our best to either make an applique from scratch or to find a commercially-available appliqué and sew it securely to the center of your wrap to help you find the center easily.
Add Name Embroidery: We can embroider your child's name (or anything else) in small 1/4 inch tall letters. The addition of embroidery makes an item nonreturnable.

Which length is right for me?

A 4 yard sling will be very compact but will probably not allow you to use some carries, such as the front wrap carry. Very petite mamas will be able to use more carrying positions with this length than will average or larger mamas.
A 5 yard sling will suit most people for most carries.
A 6 yard sling gives you just enough extra fabric to accommodate a larger mama or to allow you to wrap extra fabric around you or your baby. I use a 6 yard sling because I like to tie the ends under my baby's bottom in the front wrap cross carry (and I'm fairly small).
Very large mamas (or daddies) should ask about a 7 yard sling. My husband, who wears an XXL, needs a 7 yard sling to carry our son.

Please use common sense when using Wallypop slings and carriers. Keep a hand on your baby when bending, stooping, walking through a crowded area, etc. You can expect years of service from your Wallypop products, but take care to look over your slings and carriers before each use. Do not use your sling or carrier if the stitching has ripped or the straps are getting worn out. Limited wearing instructions are available here. Wallypop cannot be responsible for misuse, breeches of common sense, or any injuries that may result from the use of our slings.

Wrapsody Bali Baby Stretch Hybrid Wrap (by GypsyMama)

Bali Baby Stretch Wraps are soft and silky -- soft like your favorite T-shirt. The process of hand-dying and batiking removes much of the lengthwise stretch but leaves the widthwise stretch, making these super supportive and comfy for a wide range of ages. It has been suggested that it's a sort of "hybrid" between stretchy and woven wraps.

I personally have found these wraps to have just the right amount of stretch to them. Since they don't really stretch along the length, heavier and older babies will not sag down the way they will in most stretchy wraps. But the widthwise stretch makes wearing this carrier almost like getting a big hug - it's just stretchy enough to feel snug and cozy.

Bali Baby Stretch Wraps are also quite a bit more versatile than most stretchy wraps - you can actually wear a baby or toddler on your back with one of these carriers, and you can wear your child through their toddler years. (In fact, I carry Wally in mine, at 4 years old and 43 lbs).

Bali Baby Stretch Wrap Details:

• Hand-Dyed and Batiked in Bali, Indonesia by artists under good working conditions
• Lightweight cotton jersey with great widthwise stretch and little lengthwise stretch
• Hemmed for extra support
• Detailed instruction manual
• Center is marked by the label, making it easy to use
• Comes with a lovely matching cloth bag.

Wrapsody Water Wrap by GypsyMama

Wrapsody Water Wraps are so soft and silky, lightweight, and with a sun protection factor, as well. They are a perfect replacement for (and in some ways are much better than) the Wallypop Solarveil wraps, which are no longer available.

They are fast-drying, slightly stretchy, and cool in the summer heat. And, unlike many "water" carriers, this wrap can also be used dry, making it super versatile.

Water Wrap Details:

• Soft, silky, hypoallergenic fabric
• Hi-tech sports knit wicks moisture and sweat away from the skin
• Tapered ends and narrow body make this carrier lightweight and cool.
• Manufacturer guarantees a UPF (UV Protection Factor) of 15+ to help prevent sunburn/minimize sunscreen use -- fabric blocks over 93% of the sun's rays (compare to Solarveil which blocks 70%).
• Soft, stretchy fabric feels great on the skin and is perfect for front/hip carrying, both in and out of the water!
• Use with newborns through preschoolers.
• Just-right amount of stretch makes it easy to wash between you and baby when showering without adjusting the carrier.
• Folds down small – fits great in your bag!
• Soft finished edge eliminates painful pressure points on your child’s legs.
• Silky, slinky fabric even looks great for evening wear!

Water wraps are available in black only, and in two sizes - 5 yard and 6 yard.

Please use common sense when using any baby carrier. Keep a hand on your baby when bending, stooping, walking through a crowded area, etc. Wallypop cannot be responsible for misuse, breeches of common sense, or any injuries that may result from the use of slings purchased from us.
