Loading... Please wait...This super soft Popolini organic cotton jersey wrap sling is very adaptable, grows with your baby and distributes your baby’s weight evenly over your body, making it so comfortable to wear that it actually encourages prolonged contact between you and your child.
It can be used in different ways: some positions are more comfortable for a newborn baby or while breast-feeding; others better for an older child who can support his head or sit up alone.
You can wear your baby in front, on the hip, or at the back.
The sling allows your baby to take a natural position - sitting - with their spine perfectly supported. (It is not recommended that your baby faces outwards in any sling as it does not support the natural flow of the spine.)
It's light to carry, very easy to use once you get the hang of it and it is very soft to the touch (made with 100% organic cotton jersey).
The wrap is very strong but easy to tie, moulding itself perfectly around your baby and you. The 5 meter length allows all combinations from birth to the age of three. The sturdy cotton with which it was woven lets you carry your baby safely and in comfort.
Benefits for you and your baby:
*Promotes a strong feeling of well-being and safety for your baby.
*Gives you a great freedom of movement out and about and at home.
*Keeps your hands free for everyday tasks.
*Simple, safe and ergonomically designed to carry your child.
*Your baby will be able to discover the world around them from the safety of being cuddled up to you or your partner.
*The heat, smell and sound of the parents beating heart is very soothing for your baby.
*When on the move, your baby is gently rocked and all his senses are stimulated naturally (sight, smell, hearing, touch, balance).
*Trains your baby's sense of balance.
*The position of the legs in the sling helps development of the hips.
*Helps Dads build a stronger bond with their baby.

It's a lifesaver! It is the only sling I have encountered so far (and there have been many over the years...) that is completely comfortable and safe while leaving me with both hands free to go about my work. It looks a bit daunting at first but just follow the instructions on how to wrap it, it's easier than it looks!

I have a 3 month old daughter but also a 2 year old and 4 year old, so I needed a good sling to leave me hands free. This sling is so comfortable, it looks a lot more complicated than it is. I used it from week one and its a great way to settle a restless baby (especially a windy baby).
I highly recommend it.

This sling is made form beautiful cotton and once you get used to tying it, it's a great way of getting mobile without the a palava of a buggy (which I found tricky at first!)It's brilliant for around the house as our baby tends to cry a lot when he's not being held, so we can at least get things done when he's in it. It's very well-priced and our baby is very happy when he's in it. His Dad tends to get a lot of attention when he uses it in town!
