Review: Carry On, Baby woven wrap by DBG Baby

Another fun wrap from DBG! The Geeks are back after Spellbound with another fan favorite, this time themed after the Supernatural series. I'm getting some major points with my teenager on this wrap! But he'd never admit to that, of course.

DBG is now synonymous with well-textured patterns in my mind. Their patterns really pop, and not just visually but from a tactile perspective too. This raised texture provides a nice contrast to the glide of the wrap, giving it the grip to hold passes in place.

Carry On, Baby wraps fairly true to size, maybe a touch short... or maybe my baby is getting bigger. It is a nice wide wrap at 66 cm/26 inches, so that can also contribute to wrapping a bit short too. No complaints here - I expected a 5 and didn't measure so I had nice long tails until I got wise!

Like the series of DBG wraps released so far,  Carry On, Baby is very easy care - not pull-prone, machine washable and dryable. It is suitable for newborns, especially the soft and slightly soapy cool light side. New wrappers of newborns might want to note that this wrap is on the wide side, and that width could feel like a bit much until you and baby get used to it. And as baby grows, the supportive qualities will shine through. My 24-pounder felt great in this wrap, which we usually used for two-pass carries.

At 315 gsm post-wash, Carry On Baby leans to the heavier side. We wore this out in about 80 degree heat and of course we were hot because it was a hot day and babywearing is hot in general, you know? This wrap wouldn't be my first choice on a hot day but it wouldn't be a horrible choice either. I'd prefer to use it in the evening or inside on hot weather days.

Weather advice aside, the wrap wasn't bulky heavy or a trouble to maneuver in place at all. Not too thick to get a good seat, tighten well, make a chest pass, etc. It was still floppy and moldable with just a little less stretch than Spellbound. Easy to use, easy to care for, easy on the eyes. Freakin' worth it.
