Choosing a size

Choosing a size

The Bear Wrap comes in three sizes: 0–3 months, 3–6 months and 6–9 months. The labels are a starting point; babies don’t read them.

Size Laid flat, cm Laid flat, inches
0–3 months 40 × 62 15.7 × 24.4
3–6 months 42 × 68 16.5 × 26.8
6–9 months 45 × 78 17.7 × 30.7

Measurements are width by length, from the maker.

Go by length, not birthday

Measure your baby from the top of the head to the heel and compare it with the length above. You want room to spare: the wrap goes over clothes, and legs kick.

Between sizes, go up

Too big is a little baggy for a few weeks. Too small is finished.

Buying ahead

If it’s a gift, or the baby isn’t here yet, count forward to the cold months and buy the size they’ll be then.

When it’s done

When it’s snug, or closing it takes effort, stop. Go up a size, or put it away in the box with the hospital bracelet.
