This is a review of the Didymos wrap carrier. They are also known as a GSW, German style wrap. They stock several weaves and fabrics, you can see a sample of these at the website http://www.didymos.com/. I have a Didymos stripes in the 'Lena' colourway. I purchased my wrap on ebay at a price of £42, although they usually retail from about £70. You can also purchase them at http://www.slingjax.com/ in the UK.
The Didymos carrier is a basically a length of material and can be used from birth. It can be used right up to toddler hood and beyond. It comes with an instruction booklet, and some of the newer stock also comes with an instructional DVD.
Plus points
*Wraps are very versatile, they can be used for front, back and hip carries with newborns and older children.
*They distribute the weight evenly if wrapped correctly.
*They come in very pretty colours.
*They are multi-purpose. I have used our wrap as a blanket, sunshade, hammock etc.
*They are the closest sling, in my opinion, to carrying your baby in your arms. This makes them snuggly and feel like you are cuddling your baby.
*They feel very safe and Ava likes them.
Negative points
*All the choices in fabric, colours can be overwhelming.
*Learning curve in learning how to wrap especially back carries.
*Lots of fabric, which can make using them out and about quite difficult.
Overall, we love the Didymos wrap, and it has been especially handy these last couple of weeks. Ava, has been teething, and at times even the breast has not comforted her. The only way I've been able to soothe hair, is to put her in the wrap on my front and walk. It has got her to sleep in literally minutes, as the photographic evidence proves!
