About our
fabrics
Our slings are made out of a variety of woven stretch cotton blend fabrics. Our
fabrics stretch just a bit widthwise, not lengthwise. The stretch is similar to
that of stretch denim, just enough to add comfort but not so much that the
sling stretches out. Our slings are not made of knit fabrics.
Stretch
Twill: A strong, durable
fabric characterized by diagonal micro ridges on the face of the fabric.
Appropriate year round. Softens nicely after washing.
Stretch
Denim: A durable twill
fabric that is most popular in indigo blue. It softens a lot after
washing.
Stretch
Sateen: Sateen describes a
kind of weave which makes a smoother finish than traditional weaves. This
is our thinnest and coolest fabric, ideal for summer but wearable year
round.
Stretch Corduroy: A thick woven fabric with raised
vertically cut lines called "wales" running lengthwise down the
fabric
Why should you use a pouch Sling?
There are many other types of carriers with bulky padding, ties, rings and buckles, and others that require elaborate
wrapping...sometimes the simplest idea is the best!
I have tried almost every kind of carrier there is, and I always come back to a simple stretch pouch sling.
I have a 4+ year old and I can still sling her in a pouch sling if I need to, and I can wear my 5 month
old in the same size sling.
Pouch slings are:
the easiest and most versatile carrier to use, whether for a newborn or a 3 year old.
quick and easy to put on and take off
compact to pack in a purse or diaper bag
easy to care for
Getting the proper size is very important
and can sometimes be difficult
if you haven't worn a pouch sling before. email us with any
size or fit questions, and use our size
database.
If you have any questions about the fit or what size you need, please contact us!
There is no specific weight/age limit. Generally speaking, most children stop wanting to be carried in a sling by age 3 to 4.
In most cases, your child will stop wanting to be carried before they outgrow the sling.
