1. Speedy Delivery

   Posted by Rachel on 1st Feb 2012

   Dear Calin Bleu Team,
   
   I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing speed with which you got my Calin Bleu wraparound out to me. I hadn't even ordered it 24 hours ago! If only more companies were as efficient as you. I look forward to experimenting with the wraparound over the next few weeks and then using it for real very soon.
   
   With thanks,

2. Fits newborn to small child

   Posted by Emma Lunn on 21st Aug 2010

   Although price was an issue we bought the long Cloud when our son was 5 months old as we knew the fleece wrap would be too warm for use in the summer. What we found is the cotton is cool, lightweight, and can be tightened well to provide a snug and comfortable fit! It's also light weight, quick to dry, fits a newborn/prem throughout to large toddler/small child and looks as good now as the day we bought it! The ties seem excessively long on this though, even when using on a 3.5 year old!

3. Freedom!

   Posted by Lindsay Roberts on 21st Aug 2010

   The main thing we found after buying our wrap was freedom, our baby was 9 weeks old and we were on holiday in disney (not our choice!). The best thing about it for me is it's lightweight. There are plenty of other benefits like both of us use it, it keeps baby close, it perplexs people! I have 4 other wraps but this is our favourite.

4. Good for a new baby when looking after a toddler too

   Posted by Kerri Grant on 21st Aug 2010

   I do think they are a bit expensive for what is essentially a strip of material. However, I did find it was easy to tie and it's great having my hands free. I also like the fact that my baby keeps me cosy and he sleeps easily. I would recommend them as it is easier for carrying your baby, especially if you have another toddler who requires looking after.
   
   My son is 10 weeks old but I found using "The Hammock" method of tying really difficult. It was not comfortable for me to wear and his feet were squashed at the side. I didn't feel he was secure in it and there was a loose flap of material, that covered his face, that I didn't know quite what to do with. Since he's now holding his head better, I use "The Wrap Cross Carry" method, which is much better. I find it much easier to tie, it's more comfortable to wear and he is secure everytime I use it.

5. Best for toddlers not infants

   Posted by Louise Cooper on 21st Aug 2010

   I thought the wrapping instructions were complicated and not convenient for getting wrapped in a parking lot as very long so drags on dirty ground. But what I liked is it did not make my back sore. It's light weight and I like the versatility in wrap style.
   
   I would not recommend for first time mothers, too complicated to understand how to carry an infant safely. I recommend it for mothers with babies older than 6 months who prefer carrying to prams when travelling or outdoors experiences. Could you design a wrap with a clip or slide instead of making knots?

6. Not difficult to tie

   Posted by Melissa-Jo Hall on 21st Aug 2010

   I thought that I would have difficulty tying it but I found that it was not difficult at all. It's quick to put on and folds down small when out of use. I can keep baby close and have both arms free.
   
   I was using a sling for my children, one now 7, the other now 4 and this put all the strain on one shoulder. I bought the wrap for my now 4 year old and it was comfortable and completely supportive. My third child is due any day now and I'm looking forward to carrying her in my Calin Bleu wrap.

7. Comfort for baby and parent. Great colours

   Posted by Chantal Gregory on 21st Aug 2010

   I found it vital to have someone who knew how to use a wrap show me how to use it. Much better than written instructions.
   
   I found it very comfortable but would have prefered it to be slightly longer. I am a UK size 14 and would have liked the ends of the wrap to be a bit "swishy-er" when tied and not so "stubby". Beautiful colour. Was great for using in summer and on holiday in hot coutries.
   
   Never managed to master back carries with a wrap. My two children are too big for front carries now and I sometimes use a mei tei for back carries but would love to be able to use the wrap too.

8. Sooooo comfortable

   Posted by Nikki Bannister on 21st Aug 2010

   I didn't know anyone who used a wrap sling before I bought my Cloud M but I discovered I much prefered wrap slings to the baby bjorn carrier I had for my first child. It was sooooo comfortable, I could carry my son for hours. It allowed me to get on with jobs with my (clingy) son attached, helped him sleep and when he had reflux. Good instructions, really helped bonding process. I love my wrap sling but have stopped using it now that my son is 17m and too big for the front carry. I can't get to grips with wrapping him on my own without my husband being there to help. More tutorials about side and back wrapping on the website would be great.

9. Easy to use once you get the hang of it

   Posted by Jane Boardman on 21st Aug 2010

   I was surprised how easy it was to use for 1 baby and not so easy for another, I thiought all babies would have been the same. I like how cool it is in summer and how nice and close my baby is to me. I also like using the wrap for other things and how comfortable it is. It's easy to use once you get the hang of it too.

10. So much easier to use than I expected

    Posted by Angela York on 21st Aug 2010

    It seemed like it would be to difficult for me to use but it was so much easier than I expected. I got my baby in fine the first time I tried.
    
    It makes my 20lb baby seem light and I can hardly carry him without my wrap. I have worn him in it all day on a day out with no problems.
    
    I also like that I can use different carrying positions, it's easy to breastfeed in and I have even breastfed walking along.
    
    It was so easy to use, easier than the style of carriers that you find in shops and it spreads the weight really evenly, unlike others that pull on my shoulders and hurt my back.
    
    The only thing I don't like is the ends of the wrap go on the floor and get wet if I am putting it on after swimming or getting out of the car and it has been raining. I am thinking of getting a fleece one for the winter as it wont soak up as much water and it will be warmer.
