Didymos BabyDos Sun protects your baby against harmful sunrays while he or she is carried in a baby wrap, ring sling or any other baby carrier. The BabyDos Sun allows you to go outside with the baby and it provides a shady place to keep baby cool. One-sized, it fits over the wrap sling as well as over baby in a stroller or car seat and it has side draw strings to adjust length and fit. This BabyDos Sun is made entirely of Supplex, a nylon fabric with the look and feel of cotton. The Supplex fabric is very supple and soft, yet durable. It is highly breathable and water repellent, dries quickly and offers sun protection according to UPF 40 (ultraviolet protection factor. Suited for babies up to size 86 (height max. 88 cm / 34 inches).
Designed to provide your baby with an extra layer of protection against the cold, wind and rain, the BabyDos simply fits over the wrap sling or any other baby carrier as well as over infant car seats. There are adjustable straps around the head and neck as well as an elastic band at the bottom edge to stop any cold or wind from getting to your baby. Pockets on the front keep your hands warm. The hood can be rolled up to form a headrest. The BabyDos is entirely made of boiled wool. Boiled wool is durable, water-resistant and keeps nicely warm. It is suited for front, side and back carries and is fixed to the wrap or baby carrier by means of adjustable buttonhole strips. Size 1 ist for a baby up to the height of 68 cm (27 inches) and size 2 up to the height of 86 cm (34 inches). Download our BabyDos instructions
Suitable for back carries tied with the DIDYMOS Baby Wraps, Didy Meh-Dais (DidyTais) and DidyKlicks. The DIDYMOS chest belt is an optional accessory for back carries if you do not want to cross or tie the shoulder straps over your chest. It makes sure that the straps do not slip down off your shoulders. Having tied the carry, you pass the belt parts around the straps, buckle and you are ready to go. Watch our video clip to learn how it works.
These rings are perfectly suited to turn your short DIDYMOS Baby Wrap (for example size 2) into a ring sling. You can either use the rings to make a permanent change by sewing the rings onto one end of the wrap. Alternately, you can use the rings to make a no-sew ring sling and keep the wrap unchanged.. For instructions go to our DidyMagazine. These solid aluminum rings feature unique no-weld construction. They are 5 mm thick, nickel-free and thus hypoallergenic. The rings are sold in pairs and they are available in a wide variety of colours to match any DIDYMOS wraps. Sizes (diameter): 75 mm 87 mm
Jersey wrap: safe and secure carrying from birth
A jersey wrap is particularly well suited to carrying delicate, lightweight babies. It also works for light newborns and for babies with temporary blockages. Thanks to the very soft, stretchy fabric, little ones can snuggle up warm and soft against the person carrying them and feel safe and secure.
Which age and weight are jersey wraps suited to?
Jersey wraps can be used from birth. They are especially well suited to premature babies and to very small, light babies. Our jersey wraps can carry up to a maximum of 12 kg, which is considerably longer than most other stretchy wraps. That is why they are also called hybrid wraps.
Jersey wrap vs. woven wrap
First things first: for a long carrying period, we at Didymos find the long woven wrap the best choice, because it offers countless ways to tie and grows with your needs. Many new parents, on the other hand, find the knitted jersey wrap very practical, and especially soft at the start of the carrying period. It can be pre-tied, for example, which makes tying quick, even without much babywearing experience.
Advantages of the jersey wrap
Our DIDYMOS jersey wraps are stretchier than woven wraps. One advantage is that they are easy to put on and especially suited to beginners. The jersey wrap is tied without the baby, and the baby is then placed into the tied wrap. If needed, your child can be taken out quickly and easily, and the wrap stays tied around you. For all mums and dads who still feel unsure about handling a wrap, this is certainly a strong argument.
Disadvantages of the jersey wrap
Jersey wraps can generally take less load than woven wraps, so they can be used for a shorter time. For our DIDYMOS jersey wraps, we recommend a load of up to 12 kg. The reason: the heavier your baby is, the more the stretchy fabric gives way. Woven wraps, on the other hand, stay in use for longer. We also recommend a jersey wrap to parents who already know they want to switch to a baby carrier later.
In short: we cannot give a general recommendation as to which wrap is better. You have to make that decision yourself, based on your own ideas and criteria.
Tying a jersey wrap: how it works
With a little practice, you will be tying your wrap in your sleep. If you need some help with your first attempts, we have prepared a few video tutorials. They show you step by step how to tie the jersey wrap, in three variations:
- Front Wrap Cross Carry (Our tip: this variation gives a lot of security and protection, offers good support and supports your baby's head and back.)
- Front Cross Carry
- Robin's Hip Carry
