The Maya Wrap Sling is one of the most versatile baby carriers available. The tail can cover mum completely when breastfeeding. The top and bottom can be adjusted independently for a perfectly customized fit.

Maya Wrap Baby Slings and Carriers keep you in direct contact with your baby for constant bonding. This is important because studies suggest that carried babies cry less and are more content. They spend more time in a state of quiet alertness; the optimal state for learning. Visual alertness increases as they view their environment.

Each Maya wrap comes with an Instructional video or DVD.

Newborns needs to be carried in a reclining position until they have achieve head control. In this photo, the baby has been placed with her head on the same side of the Maya Wrap Baby Sling as the rings. It is also possible to wear your baby with the head on the other side of the Baby Sling.

The back carry position for Maya Wrap Baby Slings is recommended for children 1 year of age and older.

Babies with head control prefer to sit up so they can see their world. You can carry your child in a Maya Wrap Baby Sling sitting cross legged or seated with his or her feet coming out of the bottom of the Baby Sling.

Sewn from 100% COTTON hand-loomed Guatemalan fabric which is cool, breathable, and comfortable.

INCREDIBLY ADJUSTABLEThere are no pads to get in the way of making it as tight as needed to fit a small person, yet the long tail allows it to be worn by large people also.

THE TAIL The top and the bottom of the tail can be adjusted independently allowing you to perfectly customize the fit of the Sling. Most other baby slings do not have this feature. The tail can be placed over your shoulder when nursing to completely cover you. Newborns are usually carried in a horizontal position, but with the Sling it is also possible to carry them vertically before they develop head control.

We offer the Maya Wrap in the Medium size that fits most both mums and dads. From 5’2” – 5’9”.
Even if dad is larger, he won't need the longer tail for breast feeding coverage.

Are the dyes used in your fabrics safe?
We have a certificate from our manufacturer stating that the dyes used to make Maya Wrap Baby Carriers do not contain any copper, nickel, lead, mercury, cadmium, cobalt, aluminum, arsenic, chromium or any other poisonous substance.

What About the Lack of Padding?
For centuries parents all over the world have carried their children in unpadded carriers. You can too. An unpadded baby carrier is much cooler in hot weather. It will fit under the car seat or in your diaper bag. When you put your baby down to play you will hardly notice you are still wearing your Maya Wrap.

There are no padded rails to get in the way of tightening the Sling as much as you want to. The lack of padding in the Sling also makes it possible to use it as a harness or shopping cart strap.

what is the weight limit for a MAYA?
We recommend an upper weight limit of 35 pounds (16 kilos) . This is based on concern for the adult's back and balance. Both the Sling and the Pouch are capable of supporting well over 100 pounds (45 kilos) .

Are your products fairly traded?
It is Maya Wrap company policy that all those involved in the production of Maya Wraps are paid a fair wage in the local context, have healthy and safe working conditions, and are at least 16 years of age.

To verify this, the president of Maya Wrap, Susan, visits Guatemala every year and goes to the places where our fabrics are weaved, laundered, and products sewn.

The children of all those involved with making Maya Wraps are in school. Some of the artisan's children help their fathers but it is in the context of doing chores and not child labor.

The artisans who prepare the yarns and set up the looms support their families well by local standards. The weavers make less but are still fairly compensated.

Maya Wraps are not sewn in a maquiladora. The youngest employee at the sewing facility is about 20.
