A little background

This is a picture of me holding my little, well...LARGE little boy looking over a huge cliff. Notice that I'm completely hands free and my little boy is securely attached to me in the Moby.

My name is Tiffany and I am a domestic goddess...aka a stay at home mom and I LOVE it! I am the proud mommy of 2 1/2 little boys. (One more on the way at the end of June) of the most adorable little boys ever! And I'm totally NOT bais!! :) When I had my second child I vowed to be supermom and still be able to do everything I could do with my two year old. But after a few months of constantly holding my CHUNK of a child, my shoulders and back were really taking a horrible toll on me. My shoulders would burn incessantly even when I WASN'T holding my newborn.

I literally tried EVERYTHING on the market trying to find something that would take the pain away and allow me to still keep my baby part of the action. We had a Snugglie, but I could never get quite figure out how to connect all the clips. And by the time I did, my baby was ticked and didn't care that I was just trying make things easier for both of us. Then I moved on to the Bjorn. It was definitely easier to connect together, but after a few a little while, the straps were totally digging into my shoulders,thus the burning started in again. So then I had a sling made similar to the Maya Wrap with the ring. At first it was fantastic...until my baby got too big (18 lbs) and my shoulder started burning AGAIN!!! So then I found the Mod Mum baby slings, they were small enough, but I didn't like the fact that I felt like my baby wasn't secure and that I was the only one who could were it. Next I tried the double stroller. Have you ever pushed one of those? They are impossible. They don't turn very well and at least one of my children was wanting out at all times.

Then in October of this year I took my kids to Thanksgiving Point for the Backyard Boo days and saw I cute girl wearing a Moby Wrap. She had her son all tucked in and he looked so happy. But that wasn't the part that caught my attention, it was just at how much ease she appeared to be. I of course inquired and asked how it was on her back to she proceeded to tell me how it supports your entire back and shoulders. Well, I was pretty much sold. But I decided to do a little research myself. Mainly because my husband had had it with me buying everything I could get my hands on. I'd impulsively buy it and then find out that it was just a waste of money. So I begged and pleaded with my husband AFTER I had done my homework on the Moby, and after some pretty convincing testimonials I found...he agreed, but made me promise that this was the last purchase. I agreed and just prayed like crazy that it was in fact my little miracle. I received the Moby just before our trip to Disneyland. I had tried it a few times before we left and really liked it. But it wasn't until we were in Disneyland for 3 days...that's right 3 entire days of constantly walking with my 21 lb child in the Moby that I was totally and completely sold. I couldn't believe that after 3 twelve hour days of walking that the only thing that hurt was my feet. Moby has saved my back. And I love the fact that I can literally do everything in it. I man sweep, mop, vacuum...even cook dinner with my little chunk and STILL feel like the supermom. I loved it so much that I felt I needed to bring this amazing product to my community. If you try it, you will also be sold. Take it from me, and save yourself time and a whole lot of money and just buy a Moby. You won't regret it! :)
