Recently
we had the opportunity to review a
beautifully hand embroidered Baba Sling .
When we received our sling, we
knew right away, we'd love it with all those
beautiful stitches. It was a gorgeous day
out so we decided to give the
hammock-like baby sling a test run.
I really liked the durability, and that it
was clipped over my shoulder. My sister
and I had a very nice walk to the park.
Both her and I tried it out with my
niece whom fit comfortably and safely inside.
Baba Slings is friend/family
operated company. They like keeping things
family oriented, all the photos from their web
site and promotional material are done by a
friend of the family.
Baba Slings were designed by a
mother of five children, Shanti McIvor. While
Shanti was pregnant with her second child she
did a lot of research concerning "attachment
parenting" and "baby wearing". She designed
and carried her own baby in the very first Baba
Sling. She received a lot of public interest and
decided to sell them at a local market. Thirteen years
later and Baba Slings are the top selling baby
slings in Japan and are sought after all over the
world.
The mission of Baba Slings is to
provide families with comfortable, high quality
and beautiful baby slings that aid in the transition
from birth through toddlerhood.
All products stocked at Baba Slings
are made in no sweat/fair trade operation. Organic
materials are used wherever possible, they aim to
go completely organic in the near future.
The Baba Slings are easily adjustable making it easy for
both moms and dads to wear them. A specialty imported
high quality side release ski buckle with dividers for straps
and built in safety strap and buckle. The slings are 100%
cotton and machine washable. They come in all kinds of
fashionable colors, patterns, and plain colors. They
meet the highest in quality control.
As my sister used the Baba Sling she
really liked that it was easy and comfortable to breastfeed.
Her baby is a preemie and she fits in nice and snug. I think
if your a parent or expecting you should check out Baba Slings as they
are a really great find.
I love the design and fabric! This looks very comfortable for mom and baby!

ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm leery of most of these, but I really like this design! Especially appreciate that it isn't difficult to put on and be ready! I'm not a fan of things that are difficult when it comes to getting going!
ReplyDeleteThe sling would be for me since I just had a baby.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely an awesome sling, I love the details and color.
ReplyDeleteI'd be using this myself- if my little one doesn't like it, I have a good friend I'd give it to.
ReplyDeleteI like that it looks like a good carrier for breastfeeding.
ReplyDeleteSlings are really useful. My daughter-in-law loved hers. These are stylish, too.
ReplyDeleteI love that design! It's adorable! Would love to get one for myself =]
ReplyDeleteI like that it hide the baby so that way you don't have people alawys looking at you or your baby. Trying to touch or hold your baby.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I've never seen anyone using one of these slings. Would love to try it.
ReplyDeleteHow unique! I've seen lots of slings, but I love the embroidery on this one,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great product, it's cute and simple to use, would love to try one.
ReplyDeleteThis sling is beautiful!! I didn't try to use one with my oldest kiddo, but definitely want to use a sling with baby #2!! (It will probably be a necessity on outings with both kids!)
ReplyDeleteI love babywearing, and when it's done with such a beautiful product, it makes it that much more enjoyable! I would LOVE to try a Boba with our newest addition coming soon!

ReplyDeleteI am glad that I can use a Baba Sling with a newborn as well as a toddler.
ReplyDeleteI love baby wearing and this sling style is the best for a tiny new baby. The pretty embroidery and extra padding makes this version very nice!
