Woven Wrap Review by Rachael This came to me nice and soft in loom state, but became a little crunchy after the first wash and iron. A couple of wears saw it breaking in, and this will not take very long to get it back to being soft.
I tried this in my base size in a ruck with knotless finish, front wrap cross carry, and a front wrap cross carry with Poppins Finish. In the ruck it felt a little diggy on my shoulders, and I couldn’t wear it like this for longer than half an hour. In the FWCC I had to spread the passes to help with my toddler’s weight, but it would have been fine to wear him like this for a short while.
The perfect carry for us was the FWCC with Poppins Finish! Even though it’s a one shouldered carry, my toddler felt weightless in it. It’s the first successful Poppins Finish I have done without a friend helping to tighten it as there was enough texture in the wrap to hold it in place while I was tightening. I could have worn the toddler like this for hours comfortably, and I normally only wear him on my back for longer carries. There was no slippage while we were walking around, so I didn’t have to re-tighten at any stage.
Once broken in, this would be great for a newborn, but will also be comfortable wearing a toddler.

An Ankalia wrap or ring sling is designed to be an effective parenting tool in your day to day life. Our carriers will allow you to get the basic tasks done while keeping your baby or toddler close. Our carriers will help you with anything from the vacuuming to shopping on a holiday at the beach, with your child right by your side.
Making sure that Ankalia is made within Australia is important to us. Many manufacturers are obsessed with producing their products as cheaply as possible, which generally means sending their wares offshore to be produced. We wanted Ankalia to be Australian designed, woven, and hand finished, as the babywearing world was calling for a premier Australian product - and we need to be satisfied that our fabrics are made in an ethical manner. Our designs are hand sketched by local artisans, and their trade and skill is transformed into fabrics literally designed to embrace your babies.
