Top 5 Best Baby Wrap Carriers for 2025

Get help choosing the best baby wrap carriers in 2025 with our top 5 picks, chosen by experts, recommended by parents. These woven baby wraps are chosen for their comfort, beauty and suitability for different ages and climates.

Remember our top tip is to always pick something you love the look of, you’re more likely to wear it and learn if you feel like you’re wearing something beautiful.

Why Choose a Baby Wrap over other Types of Baby Carriers?

Woven baby wraps are the most versatile, beautiful and comfortable type of baby carriers out there. One wrap can be tied in multiple different ways, used for front, hip and back carries, for newborn babies, toddler and preschoolers and can be used by both parents without any set up changes. There are also no buckles or stiff parts to dig in to you or your baby. Some people think that a buckle carrier is safer, but a double knot is actually more secure than a plastic buckle, ask any rock climber! 

Please note that we are discussing supportive jacquard woven baby wraps in this post, rather than stretchy wraps, which are more suited to the 0-6 month stage.

So now you remember why you chose to get one, let's look at your best choice for a woven baby wrap!

Best Baby Wrap for Hot Weather

Hot weather and babywearing, as you can guess, is hot work! But choosing the right option can help make it a bit cooler. We recommend looking for light gsm blends under 260 and for blends that include linen, hemp or Ice Cotton in particular. 

You might also want to consider the type of carry you use to allow air through easily.

Our top pick is Fronds Glade, it's easy-care which is perfect for summer, while delivering on the blend with the lovely cool Linen weft.

Best Baby Wrap Carrier for Cold Weather

Keeping you and your little one warm in the cold weather is the goal here. Thicker blends, roughly over 280gsm, with yarns such as wool and cotton, are a great option. Layers are key in winter as well, and we recommend focusing on how you and your little one dress first - you don’t need a really thick woolly wrap to stay warm.

With lovely bright blue tones our top pick is Constellation Cielo. The chenille in this blend will be cosy and cushy for your winter walks but it feels surprisingly light in hand, making it easy to wrap with for all abilities.

Best Baby Carrier Wrap for Newborns

We love babywearing newborns, they’re precious and delicate and a baby wrap is a great way to help meet their needs. You can read more about the benefits of carrying in the fourth trimester here. 

When wearing a newborn you want something that is gentle on their delicate skin and isn’t too bulky. The baby wrap should be mouldable to ensure the fabric wraps around and supports your baby.

One of our top picks is one of our Classics - Starry Night Ocean. This design is timeless and loved by many, while the blend offers lovely support and mouldability yet is soft on delicate skin. 

Best Baby Wrap for Toddlers

The developmental benefits of babywearing continue through toddlerhood and a sling also comes in handy for those tired legs as they explore. As they enter toddlerhood your needs from your sling are likely to change to ensure your comfort when carrying for longer periods of time.

Certain yarns offer qualities that can help when carrying heavier children, such a silk and hemp which have a wonderful strength. Sekai Exuberant is a great toddler option, woven with 50% Confetti Shantung Tussah Silk. Tussah silk is thick and strong yarn, making it a favourite among those carrying toddlers.

Best Baby Wrap For all Occasions

Sometimes you need to carry both kids with the same wrap, sometimes you’re going out a hike and need an easy care wrap. And for a lot of you, you just want one wrap that will cover all bases and can be used everyday. These are what we call your great all-rounders! 

Koi Macaron ticks all these boxes, the finer yarns and denser weave structure that our hybrid weave technique uses creates a supportive and unique fabric. This offers a nice amount of grip and support, meaning you can use it with babies right through to toddlers. Woven with all cotton it is also easy care and can be washed in your machine as needed.

Best Baby Wrap For The Lord of the Rings™ Fans

Ok we have one more bonus recommendation because we couldn't not share a Middle-earth™ favourite. This is a customer favourite because of its wrapping qualities and, of course, the iconic design. 

Shire™ Westfarthing showcases the iconic circular doorway, smoke rising from a warm hearth and well-tended gardens teeming with life and activity, all of which tell the whimsical tale of the Hobbit home. Plus, it's named after one of the four Farthings of the Shire and the centre of Hobbit authority

This easy-care fabric is a great all-rounder, and the texture of this fabric gives it a good balance of grip and glide, making it easy to tie.
