An important consideration when choosing a sling or carrier is the age of your child and how long you want the sling or carrier to last. Many are marketed as suitable for babies of all ages. But if you are buying for a newborn, especially if they are premature, then you may well find the best slings for this age won’t fit a heavy toddler quite so well. For toddlers, you might want something quick and easy as they alternate between walking and wanting to be carried.

You may also want to consider your budget, as both new and pre-loved slings and carriers can range from as little as £15 to hundreds of pounds; who else will be using it, as you may want a sling that can be quickly and easily adjusted for wearers of different shapes and sizes; and when and where you’ll be using it, such as on long walks or just for quick up-and-downs at home.

Here is a summary of the main types, our recommendations to help you choose.  If you’d like more help or to try before you buy then feel free to contact us for a chat.
