It's very soft and stretchy, it looks like it has MILES of fabric and that it will be crazy long but with all the ways you have to wrap it around I ended up with the perfect amount of fabric left so I could double knot it! I'm 5"6 170 and right now baby is 2 months old and I honestly don't know how much he weighs until his next well baby appointment, but it's at least 10 lbs (at the VERY least it's probably closer to 12 but I'm just estimating.) He has fair head control but still shouldn't be in a forward facing carrier.I've never used a wrap carrier before and I could get it on without issue, getting the little man out was a little difficult because I was trying to keep him asleep... that did not happen.I used it to go on a walk on a cloudy, 63 degree day, with minimal wind. We both stayed warm but not too warm. However, when we got home I was dying to get out of it. The house was 73 and I had a jacket and tank top on underneath.I think it will be great for trying to get things done around the house and walks in the spring. Summer might be a bit too toasty.
