Sometimes you come across something new. Something pretty. Something unexplored. And you think- I need to try this!
That was the feeling when I first saw LunaLove wraps. I had to try them.

I was lucky, because LunaLove sent me 4 wraps for testing in Norway. I got to try them all before sending them out to the lucky testers, but Im going to focus on one of the wraps in this review; LunaLove Terzetto Orange.

All of the wraps I received from LunaLove was amazing soft right from the box. They arrived in loom state, but they felt like already broken in wraps. Still, when I had them washed and ironed, you could see the magic in pre and post-wash of wraps. They fluffed up like marshmallows. 

Terzetto Orange is a wrap that is soft right out of the box, and so soft even after a wash and ironing. Its medium thin/thin in hand, and it had a wq of a bandage. It just hugs around you and your litte wrappee as the most comfortable wrap made.
The wrap is easy to wrap with, and holds a great amount of glide and stretch, and that makes it super easy to wrap with. This is the perfect wrap for beginners!

My little boy is already 16 kg´s, and a heavy little energic toddler. I would say that this wrap is a bit too thin for him in one layer, but so are most of the other wraps too now. He is heavy, and he needs a wrap specially made for heavy kids if I want to carry in one layer for a while.

Anyway, this wrap is great with him in two layers, and I don´t feel it digging on my shoulder at all. When holding the wrap in your hands, you will never think that this wrap will hold that much cush, but its something you just need to experience! It is really comfortable.

So, down to the details.
This wrap is smooth and soft. It holds a lot of glide, but not too much to make wrapping easy. Just out of habit I use to tie only one knot, and in one layer I think this wrap needs double knot, but in two layers there is no problem with using single knot. The knot is also of a perfect, small size. It will not bother you at all.
Orange has a great amount of diagonally stretch, and also some vertical stretch.
The colors is also great. I love how the colors pop out, and I love how bright and happy the color looks. I have not tried or seen a lot of orange wraps before, and I like how the color makes this wrap unique.

I would happily recommend this wrap for everyone. Its not any fancy blend or nubs and clubs, but they are all around great wraps! You get a lot of wrap for the price, they are affordable and they are easy care. 

I think this wrap is perfect and soft for a little newborn squish, but also for those cuddly moments with your tired toddler. 

I would not recommend this wrap for people that like heavy and grippy wraps, or as a shorty for people with toddlers of some weight.

Thank you LunaLove.

Size: 6
Wrappee: 16 kg.

We have had Vanamo Kide Lumo travelling here in Norway for a while now, and its my time to try it out and write my review of this wrap.
If you are curious about other testers opinions, please check out #vanamokidetester on Instagram or Facebook.

What I first noticed about this lovely wrap was its colors. The blue is so clear and pretty, and I love how it pops out. The pattern is inspired by the traditional Finnish hand weaved textiles, and I was caught by it from the very first time I saw it.

First impression of the wrap was that it was soft right out of the box, but I could also feel that it would have potential to be even softer. The wrap felt smooth, and did not have a very textured surface. The wrap felt medium thick in hand, and it did not feel heavy at all.

I am not going to say more about how all cotton wraps always seems to surprise me, because I don´t expect them to be less than any other blends anymore. All cotton wraps are super! If you want a wrap that holds bounce, stretch, cush and even easy to wash- you can go for this all cotton Kide Lumo. Its everything above, and no fancy blend is needed. 

Another great thing about this wrap is that you don´t need to empty your bank, and be scared to use it. Its affordable and I have not seen even one pull in it. My little one is actually allowed to eat ice-cream in this one, and I love how we can wrap him up and down whenever he likes to, without thinking about ruin the wrap. 

Wearing qualities of this wrap... 

Its a soft wrap. It came back from testing so much softer, and its so easy to wrap with because of this. Its like a second skin, and a bandage. 

The wrap is smooth, and may be a bit slippery for some. I have seen it mentioned from some testers that they feel its too slippery, but for me I feel its just perfect. Its easy to tighten, its easy to try out new finishes and new carries, and Im just tying a double knot if I feel it will loosen and loose its place. 

The wrap has some diagonally stretch, but no vertical or horizontal stretch. The diagonal stretch is something I prefer in wraps, because it makes them more comfortable on my shoulders, and easier to wrap with. It also helps to hold a little- but very energetic- toddler in place when he wants to jump and dance. 

I can also say that this wrap holds my toddler in place, with no problem. Its study and does not sag, and its comfortable on my shoulder in double layer-carries. 

This wrap is perfect for newbies, as well as experienced wrappers. 

I think its also great for everything from squish to toddlers, as its both soft and strong at the same time. 

To love this wrap you need to love a wrap that is easy to wrap with and that does not contain a lot of grip.

The colors are amazing, and I have been keeping a close eye on the other Vanamo´s out there too, and I just love almost every one I see of them. I love how they combine colors and make them modern and eye-catching.

I can really recommend this wrap, and I feel very happy that we got to test it. 

Thank you so much, Liinalapsi.
