I really have not had a problem with my Moby stretching... And I've worn it a lot! Are you starting off with it nice and tight? I fold mine in half length-wise, and when I put it on I start with the tag at my waist, a little above my bellybutton. Then once MollyBoo is in I bring that section up to her shoulders like the instruction booklet says.
I've worn my Moby a lot, walking all over the city... never had a stretching problem. Have you washed it? It does shrink a little in washing.
You could also try a different carrier? Maybe a soft structured carrier like a Mei Tai (I don't have one but many ladies on BnB do) or an Ergo (I love my Ergo, I bought it used for $50!)?

i thought i put it on right and tight cuz it was hard to get her in but i guess that wasnt tight enough or high enough to start with. i had the tag like right at my bellybutton i will try it up higher maybe 2morrow or this comming weekend while were out. i will also try pulling the shoulder parts up tight then tuck and tie beacause i think that may have been the prblem with the whole problem of her sliding down and the "seatbelt" not being tight around her. i fold mine in half too before i put it on just like alot of the videos say to do and that was only my 2nd time so im sure we will figure it out soon

Newbie to carriers ~ I'm looking at buying an ergo (wanted one for as long as I can remember, but its onlt now I have the pennys to do so) wondering if you could tell me :

What do you do in the rain - just use umberella?
Would I need the newborn insert at 2 months old?
If I buy from amazon will it be a guenuine ergo as I read lots are fake from ebay

thank you xx

My Moby arrived today

I just got a Moby too but I can't get the hang of it at all. It's either too loose or it's too tight and I can't get LO in. I've watched the instruction videos a million times but I'm just not getting it. How did you manage it?

I dunno I just kinda did it lol! Which position are you doing? I found the kangaroo hug hold easiest to do by myself. Try lying it out flat on your bed first. X

Hi hun, I had some problems getting started and confident with my Moby, and I made a couple of threads on a really good forum for babywearing, and they really helped me, thought they might help you too

Those threads were really helpful - thanks. Looks like a good forum too so maybe I'll join. I'm getting on a bit better with the Moby today. I'm still not 100% confident that LO is safe/comfortable but I suppose I just need to keep practising until we get the hang of it.

Glad to be of help hun i remember i was just so unsure for the first weeks with the moby, and thought i'd never be able to wear him really ... But now it's second nature. As clichéd as it is, it does just take practice!
The forum is really good, always so many people wanting to help. It's especially good for babywearing and cloth nappies, and has a brilliant market place.
Re not feeling like your baby's safe in the wrap, on the moby site there's a safety check routine. Just make sure you follow that. Xxx
