Well, what do we have here?

I bought the Mediterrenean through a fsot page on Facebook. Why? I really liked the print of the wrap, but did not know anything about the wrapping qualities. 

It came to me used, and broken in, but after a wash and dry, it still felt stiff and cardboardy.

Uh, what?

Ok, don't just put the wrap up for sale, Miss Judgmental. Wrap with it first. There we go, basic fcc.

Oh boy, I love this wrap! It wraps like a dream! 

Love at first touch? Nope. Love at first wrap? Oh, yeah, baby!

The same goes for Atlantis, which I received brand new. It needs some breaking in, but already gives a solid wrap job. 

Oh, and both colorways are amazing. They look so clean. Great with jeans, but not too casual to wear dressed up. 

Wrapping qualities

This wrap is a beast. A work horse. It's soft to the touch. Like flanel. But it remains a beast. It reminds me of the towel a dishwasher in a busy diner uses. Sturdy. You can slap it around and it still does his job. If I know I risk on spilling chocolate on the wrap or dragging it to muddy mess: this is my go to wrap. It's easy to clean, and I don't feel like I need to baby it. Yay!

Due to its beastiness, I found it harder to slide passes into place than with - for example - a Girasol Diamond Weave. This wrap makes you work a bit. But when in place, it just stays there. No saggy carries. Even with a sloppy wrab job. Score!

It rocks a ruck, a fcc, a fwcc. Haven't tried any other carries with it, but am sure it would rock those!

As for happy shoulders: yes. However, I need to sandwich the shoulder passes. If not, it digs into my shoulder. Then again, I have sensitive shoulders.

Newborn or Toddler

I'd say both. Baby Q is 6 months and 20-ish lbs and I can rock a FWCC and FCC comfortably. Same goes for a Ruck (tied Tibetan preferably). So, I'd say Newborn to Toddler. I haven't tried it with an actual big kid, but I feel like this wrap can handle it.

 Sleepy dust woven in. :)

So, keep or sell/trade

Keep. Every babywearing girl needs a beasty 'can handle some beating up' wrap in their stash. :)
