TheBabaSling is everything you need in a baby carrier

It's comfortable to wear, easy to use and even my DH likes wearing it, which is a big plus as it gives him a chance to have some bonding time.
It takes a few practices at first to get DS in to a comfortable position but once you get the hang of it you wont look back.
The best baby carrier I've used and I've tried a few

Disapointed

Nice shoulder padding & material.
Difficult to adjust. Not good for small framed people.
I have been carrying my baby in a Moby-D wrap since birth and bought the Baba Sling as I wanted something that I could slip on and off quickly whilst nipping in and out of the car.

I was disappointed with the product. It takes a while to get the sling adjusted to fit you and baby as it cannot be adjusted by yourself whilst baby is in the sling, and then would need to be re-adjusted if you swap shoulders or if your partner wants to wear it. I wear a size 8 to 10 top and simply couldn't get the top rail tight enough and the bottom rail was pulled as tightly as it would go. As a result my baby didn't feel very secure (3 months old) & the sling kept moving off my shoulder and into my neck. My baby found it comfortable but I certainly didn't!

I would recommend buying a traditional 'Ring-Sling' or Pouch and use that instead - much cheaper, cooler in warm weather, easier to adjust whilst baby is in the sling & one size truely fits all.

'A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!'

At least 7 positions to carry the baby.
Lightweight and comfortable for wearer and comfortable for baby.
Supportive of baby's spine.
Adaptable to baby's development and growth.
Easy to adjust and put on.
Versatile to use by both Mum and Dad.
Breathable cotton which washes well.
Can't think of any!
TheBabaSling has been a fantastic investment. I bought it when my little one was 3 months old - 3 months too late in hindsight - and it has been used daily ever since (little one is now 9 months!) Many of my friends have babies of a similar age who have outgrown or become too heavy for their first carriers. Not so for us! TheBabaSling has adapted with my baby and we can choose from 7 positions one that suits him - facing forward joey style as well as on the back and side-saddle are his favourites! So no extra expense or aggravation in looking for another sling.
Although my baby boy is alot heavier now, we use theBabaSling as much as before and he continues to sleep and feed comfortably on the move. And proof of its success for me, is no shoulder or back pain at the end of the day.
When we're out, the sling always attracts comments on how comfortable he looks and it's true! TheBabaSling is my little one's best mode of transport and thankfully the buggy is back in storage!

The best thing i ever bought

Everything...where do i start?!!
The flexibility of the sling is fantastic and is suitable from birth right through till toddlerhood, There are loads of funky colours to choose from, You can breastfeed discreetly on the go, It is machine washable, it allows you both hands free if you need to get on with stuff, its comfortable, adjustable and simple to use, it has a handy pocket AND it comes with its own carry bag.
None at all
If you are on a bit of a budget when your baby is on the way i would highly recommend you get one of these instead of a pram. If you already have a pram they are fantastic to have incase your baby is feeling a little clingy or just as a handy back up plan!
