The best wrap!

I ordered this before my baby was born as I wanted something easy and supportive. I have used nearly every day it since day 2, now 8 weeks. We both love it! He sleeps like a dream in it and it's weightless to wear. He's only a little 8lb, bit gutted it only goes to 9lb but would highly recommend it. Also I have an extremely refluxy baby and it holds up in the wash and tumble dryer very well!

Not brilliant but will persevere

I bought this as it looked like the easiest sling to put baby in. I couldn't face anything too complicated during those first few weeks. It is very easy to put on. However, I've tried using it a couple of times and baby just isn't comfortable in it. I think it's perhaps better for an older baby who can hold their head up and doesn't need as much support. There only seems to be one position to put baby in when using it too whereas other slings look more versatile. It might be that my torso is too short for this to work properly, but I was disappointed that baby didn't take to it. I will continue to try it as baby grows, but if I was buying a sling for a newborn again I'd avoid this one even though the others might need more practice before use. The manufacturer could do with providing more videos to help customers improve comfort when baby doesn't automatically take to the initial position with legs spread far apart and head to the left or right. Options for a cradle hold position or legs closer together would be helpful. That said, the design of this sling with the back support is very good and is comfortable for the wearer.

Highly recommend

I brought 5 carriers and finally this is the one. It's easy to put on and adjust. My daughter falls to sleep in every time I put her in it which confirms she loves it and is comfortable

Fantastic

Never used a sling before so wanted the easiest first time sling, this looked ideal with it already been pre tied! I just say after having my 3rd baby I don't know why I have just discovered them. It does exactly as it's intended to do.Still unsure if I have it done correctly but practice makes perfect. Deffo reccomend this to anyone who is after a baby sling

Difficult to tie- Fabric is ok

For the price, this is an okay baby wrap. The fabric is pretty thick and not very breathable. I live in AZ so wearing this during the summer wouldn't be an option. The fabric does not stretch too much, making it difficult to tie firmly

Frequently asked questions on this product

Is Koala Cuddle Band suitable for use from birth?

Of course! Koala Cuddle Band can be used right from the first few days of life, if your baby weighs more than 4,85lbs.
You can choose from two different tying methods, both suitable from birth.

What is Koala Cuddle Band’s maximum weight limit?

Koala Cuddle Band can carry a maximum weight of 19,8lbs, meaning you can use it throughout the first year of your baby’s life.

Can I use the baby carrier during summer months?

Babywearing in hot weather is entirely up to you. However, generally speaking there’s no problem; the carrier provides comfort and will keep both you and your baby cool. 🙂

During summer we recommend:
• Wearing natural fabrics, that goes for both you and your baby, who can even wear just a nappy if it’s very hot.
• Taking breaks if you’re sweating a lot.
• Changing and resuming after a short break if clothing becomes wet.
• Placing one of our 30x30 Koala Soft Touch muslin cloths between your baby’s face and your chest, it will help absorb any sweat and you’ll both feel less hot and sticky. Always make sure that your baby’s airways are clear.

Is Koala Cuddle Band rigid or stretchy?

Koala Cuddle Band is an elastic strip with a reinforced back support, recommended during the first year of your baby's life!

How to wash Koala Cuddle Band?

You can machine wash your Koala Cuddle Band at 86 °F with garments of a similar colour. We recommend that you do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry clean and do not tumble dry.
To wash your baby carrier wrap, it’s best to remove the rings first. For guidance on putting them back on, watch this video.

It's my first carrier wrap, will I struggle to put it on?

No – not all, it’s super easy. At the top of this page, you’ll find a video tutorial guide with all the instructions for using your baby carrier correctly.

How to use Koala Cuddle Band?

On this link, you’ll find a video tutorial containing a step-by-step guide on how to use your baby carrier.

How to attach the rings?

On this link, you can find a video tutorial on how to attach the rings. It’s easier than you think.

My baby does not want to go inside the sling, what can I do?

At the beginning it’s only normal to encounter a few difficulties, especially if you’re new to babywearing.
Most importantly of all: remember it's entirely normal, don't get discouraged!
Here’s what you can do:

- Make sure you are wearing your Koala Cuddle Band correctly by following the video you can find on this link.

- Introduce your baby to their sling gradually, for short bursts of time each day. This will help them become used to babywearing. Every infant adapts to new things differently, your baby probably needs more time to get used to it.

- You can ask for help from a babywearing consultant who will guide you step-by-step.

Where can I find the full instruction manual?
