The Great Move of 2015 ... and a Visit from Tetris Muse

So I've been a little quiet lately on all forms of social media. It's because we moved! And not like down the street, we moved over 850 miles from Bloomington, Indiana to Jacksonville, Florida. Lots of wraps visited me during that time and I have many blog posts to catch up on.

One tester was boxed up and moved with me -- Risaroo Tetris Muse size 6, the first Risaroo I have ever handled. Risaroo Tetris Muse is 100% cotton and a gorgeous blue. I couldn't quite capture the color in my photographs. This wrap held my 20-pound 14-month old on our first outing in Jacksonville and gave us some of our most tender babywearing moments - like the pic below. This picture is one of my all time favorite babywearing pics.


Our first outing in Jacksonville, besides the beach, was to MOSH - the Museum of Science and History. I wore Frankie in Tetris Muse comfortably for over two hours. The highlight of our afternoon at the science museum was seeing the animatron dinosaurs. Babywearing allowed my Frankie to feel safe when seeing the giant dinosaurs move, gnash their teeth, and roar their mighty roars.




Notice in the pic above how well this wrap lays across my shoulders. Also, notice how high Frankie stayed up on my back. This 100% cotton wrap held tight with absolutely no sagging. The wrap has very little stretch and has a small amount of grip. So it totally stays in right where you put it.

Tetris Muse made a pretty freshwater finish in a double hammock. In the pics below, again notice how smoothly the shoulder passes lay with this wrap. The wrap lays very flat against you, so you get clean, crisp finish.


If you follow me on Instagram, you know by now that I love the Poppins Carry and every wrap I test must be worn in a Poppins. I not only wore Risaroo Tetris Muse in a pretty Poppins, but I did something I rarely do in a wrap, I nursed my baby in this wrap! I often fear loosening a wrap and loosing too much slack and having to awkwardly hold my baby in what appears to be a bad wrap job. But because this wrap is super sturdy, I was able to loosen it just a little and have it still hold my baby while I continued to walk around the museum.


Another evening I pulled Tetris Muse out and threw Frankie up in a ruck. I think the 100% cotton Risaroo Tetris can totally rock a ruck.



The shoulder passes can be folded nicely to create reasonably thin straps and gorgeous pleats. Again, because this cotton is very sturdy and a little grippy, everything stays in place right where you put it.

For those who really like the geometric patterns, Risaroo Tetris creates a neat geometric look when wrapped. Check out this bum shot!


If you are looking for a sturdy, grippy wrap with a tiny bit of stretch and a little bit of grip that will hold a DH, Poppins, and ruck, then the Risaroo Tetris is for you. We sure had a lot of fun with it and captured some great babywearing moments in this wrap.
