Bali Baby Breeze wraps are reported by our customers to be the lightest weight wrap carriers available.  They are made from bottomweight cotton gauze, heavier than the gauze used to make broomstick skirts.  The gauze is not “stretchy” but it has the diagonal give that is necessary to make any wraparound carrier comfortable.  Each has a storage pocket sewn into the end that can either old the wrap itself while not in use or can be used to store a wallet, car keys, or other lightweight items while carrying baby. 

Many customers find the Bali Baby Breeze wraps to be fabulous beginner carriers because the fabric is lightweight and easy to maneuver.  People love them in hot weather.  Because they are so light and airy, they require more precise wrapping to achieve optimum comfort.  Some customers find that this helps them master the art of wrapping more quickly, but other customers find it a drawback and prefer a wrap that's a bit more forgiving of sloppy wrap jobs.  Petite mamas also sometimes prefer this wrap because it comes in sizes.  Although the Gypsy Mama has comfortably carried even very large children in this wrap, if you are carrying for more than 30 minutes at a time you will find it most useful until your child reaches about 35 pounds.  With children heavier than this, it can still be used to carry for periods greater than 30 minutes but requires more frequent adjusting for optimum comfort. 

All of our Bali wraps now come packaged with an instructional DVD!

Our carefully chosen cotton gauze is a wonderful carrying choice: it's huggable and comfortable, cool in the summer, and no bulk over or under winter clothes. Each has a label marking the center of the wrap and an innovative pocket at the end of the carrier that stores the wrap in a tidy bundle when not in use. This wrap is wide enough to securely carry even a tiny baby on your back, yet lightweight enough to wear on hot days, compact enough to tuck in your bag, and comfortable enough to carry your child for hours.

Each carrier is hand-dyed or hand-batiked under good working conditions by artists in Indonesia. Each is packaged in a reusable fabric bag.

SIZING

Wrap sizing can be a bit confusing - not only do you need to factor in your size and shape, but you need to decide how much versatility you want from your wrap. Some people like to order a few different sizes, using them for different purposes. Some people prefer a shorter wrap, with less fabric to play with, and they don't mind having fewer tying options. Others like a one-size-does all carrier, ordering the wrap that will offer them the most options and versatility.

The sizing chart below applies to woven wraps and will give you an idea of what sizing will meet your needs. It is only an approximation based on what I have learned after sizing many customers. Many like a longer size even if they fall into a smaller size on the chart. This is the sizing you will need to do the greatest variety of carries, including nursing in the wrap cross carry. You can still do a full range of carries, and our gauze is so light and airy that it is easy to wrap around your waist and tuck into the waistband of your carrier.
