    Is this safe to do using a moby wrap??

      Honestly, I have no experience with stretchy wraps; I have always used wovens, so I’m not really much help with this. But from my experience with this carry, I would probably not try it with a stretchy. It seems like a stretchy wrap wouldn’t have enough support. But that’s just my guess!
