I can't believe anyone could possible fault this sling. It's helped so much. My daughter used to cry a lot and since using the sling ( I bought a black one) she seems much more content and happy. I thought it was a choice between holding her and actually doing things. Now using the sling, I can hold her, meet her needs and get on with everything. It is comfortable and I never felt a pull on my shoulder. You need to alternate a bit to balance out, but its natural and fantastic!

Can't fault this sling. I am a single mum of two lovely kiddies. The Babasling allows me to feed, comfort and hold my baby son while my 4 year old runs wild. I have two hands free and it's just easy. No bulky pushchairs or difficult straps. Once adjusted it to my size, I just stick it on stick him in and go. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

I needed a sling that put as little weight on my lower back as possible. With my first child, I used a sling that a friend had made and although baby was comfortable, it cost me a fortune in osteopath bills afterwards! By the time my second baby had arrived another friend recommended I try the BabaSling. I'm one of those mums who carry their babies around until they're 8 months (and beyond!) and had not found a sling that didn't cause me pain after the first hour. I am still very grateful to that friend beacause the BabaSling did the job. Not only does is rest comfortably, but I feel it has strengthened muscle tone in my shoulders and back. My osteopath (who is a poorer man now) agreed that it was possible that the sling support could be beneficial for my particular problem. And of course, baby is delightfully comfortable.

This is a wonderful thing for a really tiny baby and newborns. I carry him everywhere in the cradle position and he sleeps...well, like a baby! It is light and simple to use, goes anywhere and is just great. I would highly recommend it as a first sling for little babies and for novice baby wearers like me.

I really havent been able to get to grips with this sling- when my baby was tiny she always felt like she was being squashed into an uncomfortable position, or she felt like she wasnt supported enough in the more upright positions. She always cried when I put her in it. We bought a baby bjorn carrier and she is much happer in that. I want to like it but it it just isnt happening so far, although now she is 3 months she might be more comfortable in the upright positions. I would say that it definitely isnt suitable for everyone despite glowing reviews.
