Baby slings in the UK
A good baby sling must have certain qualities and above all stand the test of time and keep your baby secure and safe at all times.
Included is a baby wrap and a baby carrier, there is a slight difference between the two. A baby sling wrap is a single piece of material that is wrapped around your baby, most of which are now pre-made.
A baby sling carrier is designed much more like a backpack and simply pop your best in the carrier.
We prefer the sling option for most, and the material has more feel though it is allowing you to balance and feel that your baby is secure all the time.
