Versatile-Your baby or toddler can be carried in front, hip, back, reclining, nursing, and kangaroo carry positions. The Maya Wrap Sling can be used as a lightweight blanket, shopping cart safety strap, or as a "leash" while your toddler explores. Each Maya Wrap Sling has a handy pocket in the tail for carrying an extra diaper or wipes. Great for both Mom and Dad-The tail of the sling is long enough to allow large people to wear it, while lack of padding allows it to be tightened enough for smaller people. Adustable- Each edge of the Maya Wrap Sling can be adjusted independently, allowing a perfect custom fit. Perfect for Nursing-Mom can drape the tail over her shoulder for complete coverage. Safe- The fabric and rings have been tested and can withstand in excess of 100 lbs. (35 lbs. is recommended carry weight limit) Long Lasting- The Maya Wrap Baby Sling can be used while your child grows from infant to toddler (35 lbs.).

Versatility and long lasting
My son is a wiggle worm! I could not use the sling really until he was about 4 months old - he would arch his back and then his head would get kinked. But once he was solidly holding his head up this sling is a miracle worker.
I use this baby every where we go. Sometimes being in the stroller is unsettling for him so I just pop him in the sling and he is fine and feels safe. If he is fine in his stroller but wants to sleep, I just use the sling to cover the front and sides of the stroller because it is so wide. I can also use it as a cover for the stroller while changing a diaper. When we fly places I can cover his head while he sleeps on the plane on me. It has just become the all around baby necessity for me. I can't say enough good things about it!
I also have a baby bjorn and an evenflo snugli. The problem with these is that they put a ton of strain on my shoulders, they don't really even out the weight of a larger baby. My son is 30" long and 17 lbs at only 5 months. When I use the sling, I can carry him for over an hour at a time vs 10-15 minutes in the other carriers or 10 minutes just holding him.
***It does take practice and some learning though along with a lot of patience. With such a wiggly baby, I've found the best postion for us is the tummy to tummy while he kind of straddles my middle. Sometimes he will also sit in it cross legged while facing forward.
I think it will be great to carry him on my back with in a few more months. I can't wait to see how many more uses I can get out of it.

Simple concept
comfortable fabric, various flexible positions
Feels safe.
Ring has not been a problem so far.
Delivered on time, and would recommend it to buy.
We have 3 kids and of the slings we have tried so far, this is the most simplest and efficient.

best baby purchase!
I have three children, and have used this with all of them. I can "tie" the baby on to me in almost any position I can hold him/her. If the baby falls asleep while I'm holding him/her, I can put the sling on over and switch to hands-free. It folds up small so I can put it in the diaper bag or car and always have it handy. It takes a little practice to use, but the instructional dvd is very helpful, and it has been wonderful! Unfortunately, they are discontinuing the original, unpadded sling, in favor of a lightly padded one which, supposedly, takes less practice to use.

had several types, loved this one best!
I loved this one best and wish I had it for my 1st baby! I loved that it has a nice big pocket on it, could fit some wipes, diapers & burp cloths - no need for diaper bag for short trips. I loved that it was light weight, VERY versatile, and easy to stuff in diaper bag for longer trips.
It took some practice to get it down, but I would never switch. My son is 19 months now & we use it for a hip carrier. I have seen it used for a back carrier too. My son is CLINGY, he wants to be carried ALL the time when we go out. This makes us both a lot more happy!
I will re-state, it takes practice to get it figured out, but it is extremely versatile. Go to a La Leche league meeting and someone there will easily be able to give you pointers.

hate it
I tried the Maya Wrap for about 1 month then returned it. I couldn't stand it. Even after watching the instructional video I had trouble getting the wrap just right. It always twisted on me and was so uncomfortable. I would spend 5 minutes in the parking lot everytime I was going to use it and it drove me crazy! I hate the Maya wrap and enjoyed using the simple Baby Bjorn much more.

second best
I have both the maya wrap and the moby wrap, and all i have to say is that the people who love the maya wrap are the ones who have not yet tried a moby wrap. the moby wrap is better hands down. it holds my baby MUCH more secure than the maya and i can hold her in many more position. the moby supports on both shoulders unlike the maya and i would recommend the moby without a doubt to people. so if you read this and you're trying to decide between the two, GET THE MOBY!

The best solution for breastfeeding in public
I love thi sling for many reasons but the top three are the following:
1) my baby calms down right away when she's carried in it.
2) she doesn't get scared of strangers when we visit new people or go to a party (she's in the middle of the stranger anxiety phase).
3) Most of all it helps nursing really discretely in public without ovrheating my baby. Before Itried to use all kinds of blankets and scarves but my baby was getting so swaty and hot. instead the fabric of maya wraps is very breathable and my baby remains at a comfortable temperature, even in Texas.
