Product Information

Simply tie the wrap tightly around your body and pop your baby in and out during the day. You can breastfeed in all these wraps, too. (Here’s more on breastfeeding in slings). Our Didymos DoubleFace long woven wraps have contrasting colours on either side, making them ideal for those new to wrapping, and don’t require any breaking in. But there are a vast number of woven wrap brands and designs to explore.

You then pop your baby into the cross of fabric made by the sling on your front, and lastly tie the support band around you both. A tandem Front Wrap Cross Carry (FWCC) is a great first ‘carry’ (way of tying a wrap) for newborns, whether carrying one or two babies – and we do recommend practicing with one baby first until you’re feeling confident. Amanda’s Tandem Hip Carry is a great carry for babies with increasing head control (usually 2-5 months+). Tandem Trouble is a superb YouTube channel for twin wrapping tutorials, using one or two woven wraps at a time.The safety advice included is sensible, thorough and accessible. It has handy hints for getting a better fit if you are petite or plus size. It focuses throughout on how to tie the wrap tightly, so baby is well supported and their airways are protected. Tightening your carrier (usually) or loosening it (sometimes) just a few centimetres here and there can make a vast difference. As can positioning the waistband higher up on your body. The clue is in the name: it’s a WAISTband, not a hip belt. For a double hippy carry, you could also try using two MiniMonkey Mini Slings or Izmi baby Carriers, as these can also be used separately and for a tandem carry (see below). ABOUT THE WEEGO TWIN CARRIER It can also be worn as two entirely separate carriers. Genius. It’s easier to get on and off than you might imagine, although a little practice and guidance may beneeded. It will depend a lot on your anatomy and how you fit together. So depending on the length of your torso, the size of your breasts, and the position of your nipples, all sorts of things will vary.

Always seek advice from your medical practitioner if your babies have health considerations, and seek guidance on babywearing safety from an experienced babywearing consultant if you would like help carrying two babies. You can also book a video consultation with us, wherever you are in the world, for one-to-one support and guidance from our expert team. There have been lots of near-identical versions of the Caboo over the years, but this Organic version has the softest and best quality fabric.

SHOP BY COLLECTION

A sling should always mimic how you carry your baby in your arms: snug and high up on your chest so they’re close enough to kiss. I love using a baby wrap, making it easy to go for walks or hold my baby close to me while I'm doing housework. 5pm seems to be the witching hour in our house, so wearing baby in a wrap at this time means we can all be a bit calmer at the end of the day. This wrap is easy to use and wear, and the price is great compared with other baby slings on the market. Would you recommend this to other parents? The Coracor Baby Wrap is brilliant if you’re after something with a pretty pattern (and the same wrapping qualities as the Izmi Wrap).The Hana Baby Organic Wrap and Boba Wrap can work well, too. If you’re in the market for two carriers that will do a similar job to the TwinGo, using two MiniMonkey Mini Slings, two Integra baby carriersor two Izmi baby carrierscan work particularly well.

Sam Kennedy says: I honestly really wouldn't change a thing about the Izmi Baby Wrap, it's perfect just the way it is. It's comfy to wear on long walks and around and baby agrees. Although the price tag is quite high, it's comparable to most on the market and is reflected in the quality of the fabric. I absolutely love it! As a rough rule of thumb: you count as one layer of clothing for your baby, and your Izmi counts as at least another. If you’re indoors, or going for a brisk walk and generating some heat, that’s like adding a third layer. When carrying a baby or toddler, it's ideal to ensure the carrier supports them across the whole of their seated width, i.e. from one knee to the other. This ensures the carrier supports more of their weight, so they feel lighter on you! A stretchy wrap is an ideal way to carry two newborn twins, even premature and low birth weight babies. That’s 3 layers already! Always bear this in mind when dressing yourself and your baby. Our recommendations are:Izmi Baby Wrap comes top of our tried-and-test list. These wraps are high quality, 2-way stretchy wraps: soft, very easy and forgiving to use, but also very strong, slightly wider than most, and very supportive.
