Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine Reviews Moby Wrap

Posted June 22nd, 2011 in baby carriers, Products | Tags: | Comments Off

Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine recently gave a rave review for the Moby Wrap.  No surprise to us, we love it!:

“(The Moby Wrap)  is comfortable and durable and comes in just about any color or pattern you can imagine. It’s great for home or on-the-go and provides a safe and secure way for me to tote my little one around while keeping up with his older sister. It also keeps baby close and covered which means that other people and their (unwashed) hands can’t get to him as easily as they could otherwise.”

Interested in learning more? Come try out the Moby Wrap at our Portland boutique anytime or join us for one of our Babywearing 101 classes. See the Moby Wrap in action.

Product Spotlight: Kangaroo Kornor Adjustable Pouch

Posted October 6th, 2009 in baby carriers, Products | Comments Off

Like many products we carry, Milagros was the first retailer in Oregon offering the Kangaroo Korner Adjustable Pouch. Why did we bring it to Oregon? Because is a easy to use, high quality option for folks wanting to wear their baby in a pouch.

Unlike many other pouches out there, these adjustable pouches are designed to grow with your baby and will accommodate different sized parents and a mama’s changing size postpartum. With a pouch, you can carry your little miracle in a variety of positions — from craddle carry to hip carry.

Here a sample of one of the basic carrying positions with the Kangaroo Korner:

As the weather is changing, we have upped our stock of the fleece version of this adjustable pouch. The Kangaroo Korner fleece pouch is made of comfy Malden Mills fleece. The snug and flexible fleece will hold your baby snug against your chest.

Posted June 13th, 2009 in baby carriers | Tags: , , | Comments Off

milagrosbabywearinglogosmall.jpgMoby Wrap has been honored as the “Favorite Baby Carrier” in Baby Children’s Product News Reader’s Favorites Awards!

Can’t say I’m surprised, we love using wraps and it was our primary carrier with Gael when he was a wee one.

You can find the full line of Moby Wraps at Milagros in Portland – Regular, Moby D, and the Moby UV wrap. We also offer a selection of regular Moby Wraps in our on-line store.

Tip – If you want to just pick-up an on-line order from Milagros, pick “ship to store” when you check out. There is never a shipping charge for this option.
