About the brand: Girasol was one of my first brands concerning baby wraps. The wraps are handwoven in Guatemala and imported to Germany. I loved following Ola’s Blog to find out about all the exclusives and Pre Orders. Sometimes there were contests but I never won one with my design inspirations. Girasol wraps are woven in different weaves from plain to diamond weave and most designs come with different wefts, too. Sometimes it was hard to choose one and some were highly sought after. 😉
I’ve had various Girasol wraps during my long wrapping “career” and I still got a Romantique which is my consultation wrap. It hast a good lenght to show the basic carries and with the bold colour stripes it’s easier to show the parents how to tighten the wrap properly.
I’ve been so curious and impatient I must have been a real pain in the ass. I just wanted to be like the first one to review this carrier but in the end I guess I’m like #100… anyway, I got one in july and it was really a familiar feeling. Everthing on it is MySol expect for the shoulder straps of course. 😉 And the panel is slightly wider/longer.
How does it fit and wear: I’ve tried it the WrapMySol for longer walks and it was pretty comfy. The weight distributes well over the shoulders which is an advantage compared to the MySol, especially with heavier babies/toddlers. But I’d wish for a slightly more padded or broader hipbelt because there’s obviously still enough weight on my hips and the more weight, the comfier a broad padding is. But compared to the MySol, the WrapMySol really seems to “last” longer because with both girls I didn’t use the MySol anymore after 12-18 months.
Conclusion: A highly appreciated baby carrier finally gets a sibling. The WrapMySol makes a great addition to the Girasol family and will please parents with shoulder problems. Also, the WrapMySol enables a reinforced seat and therefor it’s more toddler-friendly. Did I mention the comfy options to tie nice finishes with the straps while back-carrying? 😉
Tested with my 18-19 months old baby during summer 2018. Thanks to the sponsor for the opportunity!

I like the impressions you share of the wrapcon and I just finished my own review of this carrier. But I am more critical about the belt. What experiences have you made?
Huhu! Ich antworte mal auf deutsch! :D Gerade rein gelesen... Sehe es genau so wie Du, habe ich auch weiter unten geschrieben. Mir war der Hüftgurt schon bei der MySol zu wenig stabil bzw. hat mir zu wenig Gewicht abgenommen, weshalb ich sie nicht länger als 12 Monate genutzt habe. Da man aber bei der WrapMySol die Träger über dem Rückenteil ausfächern kann, finde ich, dass so dieses Manko ein wenig ausgeglichen wird. Ich bin aber bei Toddlern wirklich generell ein Fan von breiten, gerundeten und gut gepolsterten Hüftgurten wie bei der Limas Plus oder meiner liebsten Toddler Wrap-Con von Madame Jordan.
