Types of Slings
Stretchy wraps are generally pre tied which makes them easy to use for those new to slings. Due to their stretch most users find that they want to move on to another carrier around 6 months, although some brands can be used with older babies, or many parents continue to use stretchy wraps for a sleepy baby, and use a different carrier for quick shopping trips. Much loved for newborns due to soft material and snug feel.
Hybrid wraps
Some wraps have qualities of both a stretchy and a woven wrap which is why they are referred to as Hybrid wraps. It may for example be possible to back carry with a hybrid wrap which has a large amount of stretch.
Two way stretchy wraps are mainly used for front carries, with hybrid stretchy wraps being used for front, hip and back.
