Cuddly and cosy

LIGHTWEIGHT AURA WRAP, RRP $99

This stretchy, comfortable rayon wrap is made from eucalyptus and acacia fibre that can take up to 13.6 kilograms in weight. The initial process of figuring out how to tie the wrap is a bit like origami, but once you get the hang of it (and get your baby’s limbs in the right holes), this is a very comfortable way of carting your little bundle around. It can get a little warm, body to body, so would be ideal in cooler climates. It is also more of a strolling-around-a-holiday-resort type of carrier as it’s not supportive enough to climb Kilimanjaro in.

OUR VERDICT Absolute winner for short-range walks or cuddling at home. Very comfortable and seems to disperse weight very evenly. The major upside is portability as it folds down to nothing. ergobaby.com.au
