What Moby Wrap does

Moby Wrap, operating under the legal entity Thrive International, Inc., is a US-based babywearing brand founded in 2003 and headquartered in Chico, California. The company designs, sources, and sells soft fabric baby wraps, structured buckle carriers, ring slings, hip seats, and complementary accessories (diaper bags, cross-body bags, convertible maternity-to-babywearing shirts, eGift cards). Its core technical differentiator is proprietary Featherknit fabric technology, offered across multiple fabric blends including 100% cotton, 65/35 polyester-cotton, and 70/30 viscose-cotton, with products certified Hip-Healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. All wraps are designed for the 8-33 lb infant-to-toddler range and emphasize even weight distribution and ergonomic support.

The company operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and wholesale business model. D2C sales run through mobywrap.com with free shipping over $50, bundle promotions, and BNPL integrations (Afterpay, Klarna, ShopPay), supported by content marketing, certified babywearing educator training, and a product-fit quiz. Wholesale distribution spans seven named US retail accounts (Target, Walmart, Nordstrom, Meijer, Pottery Barn Kids, Dillards, and Babylist) plus international regional distributors across Europe, the UK, Canada, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia. Products are manufactured in China and Vietnam following a relocation from Thailand.

Customer segments include new and expecting parents seeking hands-free infant carrying, size-inclusive parents from petite to plus-size, and pregnant women in their second and third trimesters seeking maternity-to-babywearing apparel. The company reports over 1 million lifetime parents served and has accumulated multiple industry awards and editorial recognition. The firm is privately held with no disclosed venture or institutional funding.
