We love babywearing, it makes life so much easier, and now we can even wear Ryan in the water! For my review, I was sent the WateRoo carrier from Lucky Ducky Baby. This was created by a mama of 5 girls. She was trying to teach her toddler to swim, but had a baby in a floaty she couldn’t take her eyes off of. She was also showering with the littlest–because how else do you get shower time?! I only have one kid and I know how that goes. She entered a Huggies MomInspired contest with her idea of this wrap and… she won! What an awesome story.
This carrier is made for the water, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also be used day-to-day, outside of the water. It’s made of a soft quick-dry mesh… the same type you’d find in athletic apparel.
Wraps are probably my favorite type of carriers for babies. They’re really versatile–lots of ways you can wrap them, they’re easily adjustable (especially for nursing), and they’re comfortable. I think they’re the best way to keep a baby close, which is actually part of the name of this wrap! The “Roo” on the end is for the kangaroo type hold that this wrap allows.
It comes with instructions on how to use/wrap it, but I promise it’s really easy. Practice a couple times and you’ll have it down, no problem.
Look how comfy! My suggestions for this wrap: it’s a stretchy material so wrap tightly (it’ll loosen a little with the weight of your baby) and start out with your baby higher up on your chest than would be comfortable to actually wear. Once you finish wrapping and fully release your baby to “sit” in the wrap, they’ll slide down a bit with the stretch. Then they’ll be in the perfect spot!
This wrap is for babies from 7 to 25 lb. Ryan is about 24 lb, so right near the cut-off and it still works great. We wore it in the pool last week! AND I’m 17 weeks preggo 
It’s just SO nice to have your hands free and be carrying your baby. This wrap will be awesome to have when the new baby comes early next year, too.
