Why a Vatanai Woven Wrap?

January 22, 2012

There are a few reasons why Vatanai woven wraps make the best choice for beginner wrappers and also those in warm weather. While I do also love other woven wrap brands such as Neobulle (sadly no longer available in the USA unfortunately), Storch and Girasol, as well as Didymos. And I have my fair share [...]

Vatanai Blues/Brown

December 28, 2011

Vatanai Blues/Brown is here at Granola Babies and it’s so different than other Vatanais! When they said it was “thick” they meant it. It has three color threads in it and it does in fact feel like it has one more layer of thickness to it than other Vatanai. I can see now why it’s [...]

Protecting your tails

January 18, 2010

I often hear how wrapping is hard when out and about because the tails get dirty. Ok, so most importantly remember…wraps are washable. Should your tails get dirty, just wash your wrap. But, one way to keep your tails clean is to pre-tie at home when doing a front carry. That way you are not [...]

What’s so great about BBslen wraps?

December 9, 2009

Besides that they are one of the most affordable good woven wraps in the market? Well, let me start by saying that I currently have a BBSlen in Green Paprika on. My baby boy is in the GBC, which is my go-to back carrier for naps. And yes…sure enough he is napping. I have all [...]
