Heavier Weight (280 GSM +)

Typical feel and use:

• Maximum support for heavier babies and toddlers
• Very cushioned with minimal dig-in
• Ideal for long carries and extended wear
• Best for back carries as your baby grows
• Warmer to wear, especially in cooler weather
• Requires a longer break-in period

Best for: Toddler carrying, long outings, and those who want extra support and structure.

Keep in mind

Higher GSM doesn’t always mean a wrap will feel bulky or stiff.

Some heavier GSM wraps can still feel light due to:

• Double or layered weaves that spread weight more evenly
• Supportive fibres like hemp or wool that add strength without excess bulk
• Weaves that create cushioned support without trapping as much heat

A wrap may be rated as heavy by GSM but feel more like a medium in real-world use.
