Baby Shoulder Sling Carrier – Breathable

Your baby wants to be held and your arm is aching? This baby shoulder sling is worn across one shoulder and creates a soft “seat” for your baby. The weight is shared across your shoulder, back and waist, so carrying your baby at home, on a walk or while shopping is more comfortable – with your hand always holding your baby, but no longer taking all the weight.

Why you’ll love it

• Less strain: the wide strap spreads your baby’s weight across your shoulder and waist instead of only your arms.
• Breathable mesh fabric: lets air circulate – cooler for you and your baby in summer.
• “M”-shaped seat: your baby sits with the knees slightly higher than the bottom, not dangling with straight legs.
• Adjustable: the strap length adjusts with a buckle to fit different body types – for mums and dads.
• On in seconds: no complicated tying or long lengths of fabric.
• Light and compact: folds small enough for the changing bag.
• 3 colours: grey, mint green and pink.

How to wear it

1. Put the sling on crossbody, with the wide strap on one shoulder and the seat on the opposite side of your waist.
2. Adjust the length so the seat sits at the height of your belly button – not lower.
3. Sit your baby in the seat facing you, bottom deep in the seat and legs out in an “M” shape.
4. Always keep a hand on your baby – the sling rests your arm, it doesn’t replace it.

Safety: the T.I.C.K.S. rule

• Tight: your baby is held snugly against you, not sagging into the fabric.
• In view at all times: you can see your baby’s face by glancing down – the fabric never covers it.
• Close enough to kiss: your baby’s head is high enough for you to kiss the top of it.
• Keep chin off the chest: a finger should fit under your baby’s chin so they can breathe freely.
• Supported back: your baby’s back is supported in its natural position, not folded.

Best for babies with good head control. For newborns and young babies, use an upright tummy-to-tummy position, check their breathing constantly, and ask your paediatrician if your baby was born prematurely or has a health condition. Don’t cook, run or drive while wearing the sling.

FAQ

From what age can I use it?
It’s most comfortable and safe once your baby has good head control. For newborns, use it only in an upright tummy-to-tummy position, with the face visible and your hand on your baby, and follow the T.I.C.K.S. rule.

Is it a hands-free carrier?
Not completely. A shoulder sling takes much of the weight, but you should always hold your baby with one hand. For fully hands-free carrying you need a carrier with two shoulder straps and a waist belt.

Will it fit me and my partner?
Yes. The strap adjusts with a buckle and covers approx. 125–155 cm circumference (from the shoulder to the opposite side of the waist), so it fits different body types.

Is it hot in summer?
The fabric is mesh with small holes that let air through. It’s much cooler than long fabric wraps, but on very hot days take frequent breaks and check that your baby isn’t overheating.

Can I breastfeed in the sling?
You can loosen the strap for extra support, but after feeding return your baby to an upright position with the face visible and the chin off the chest.

How do I fit it correctly?
The seat should be at your belly button, your baby’s bottom deep in the seat and the knees slightly higher than the bottom (“M” shape). If your baby sits too low, shorten the strap.

How do I wash it?
We recommend hand washing in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and air drying. Check the seams and buckle regularly for wear.
