Being only 5’0 I discovered that not all baby carriers were built with petite wearers in mind. I loved the customized snug fit I could achieve using wrap style carriers. I would tie on my wrap carrier before heading out for errands so I could easily put my baby into the wrap when I got to my destination. By doing this, I didn’t have to worry about the ends of the fabric getting dirty while trying to tie a wrap in a parking lot.
*Note: in pictures wrap is a bit gathered, fabric can be smoothed for comfort
