What is a Baby Wrap?
Oscha baby wraps are a length of woven fabric specially designed to allow you to comfortably carry your child from newborn through to toddlerhood. Baby wraps can be tied in a variety of ways making them perfect for carrying children of all ages.
We make our baby wrap carriers in the UK and they are approved by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute as a ‘Hip Healthy’ product, this means they provide optimum support for hip development.

One Sling from Newborn to Toddlerhood
Infinitely adjustable, infant carrying wraps are the most versatile of baby carriers. With one woven baby wrap you and your partner can carry your child for your family’s whole babywearing journey.
The way they wrap around you and your little one allows the fabric to mould to your body shape while evenly distributing your child’s weight; making carrying them close a continually comfortable experience.
All our fabrics are weight tested up to 45lbs (or about 5 years old).
