Carriers & Slings (3)

Car to front door. One lap of the shop. The bit of the walk where they will not stay in the pram and it is not worth strapping into a full carrier for.This is for those. The padded strap goes over one shoulder, the seat sits at your hip, and the weight comes off the crook of your arm — which is the part that aches. On in seconds, and it folds down small enough to live in the changing bag.It is a one-shoulder sling, so it is not hands-free. It carries the weight; you keep one hand on your baby. If you want both hands free for an hour, you want a two-shoulder structured carrier instead. 10–30 lbs · for babies who hold their head up unaided Three holds — diagonal, horizontal, astride your hip Front and rear adjustment buckles · one size, fits both parents Padded shoulder strap · lightweight, breathable fabric Eight styles, all the same price

There is a stretch — weeks or months, depending on the baby — where being put down is simply not on the table. Everything else still needs doing.This keeps them against your chest and gives you both hands back. The straps cross behind you and the belt buckles at your hips, so the weight lands on both shoulders, your lower back and your hips at once rather than hanging off one shoulder. That is the difference you feel at the forty-minute mark.Breathable cotton in a houndstooth weave, with a pocket, a fold-away head-support flap, and velcro width adjustment so it fits both parents without resetting. Front, hip and back carry · 7–40 lbs Cross-back padded shoulder straps · buckle waist belt Breathable cotton · integrated pocket Velcro width adjustment — fits both parents No newborn insert needed

For the toddler who wants down, then up, then down again — forty times before you reach the car.A padded seat on a cross-body strap that takes their weight off your arm and puts it on your shoulder and back instead. They sit on your hip the way they already want to, legs straddling you in the M-position, and you get one hand back for keys, a coffee, or the older one's hand.It goes on in seconds and packs down to the size of a bum bag, so it lives in the changing bag rather than the boot. For toddlers 18 months and up, 25–55 lb (11–25 kg) Padded seat with a breathable mesh top and a curved edge that sits against you Adjustable cross-body strap — wear the seat on whichever hip you prefer Zip pocket, bottle sleeve, D-rings and a key clip — phone, water and keys stay on you Packs flat · machine washable This is a support sling, not a hands-free carrier. Keep one hand across your toddler's back at all times while using it.
