Hotslings Baby Carrier

Hotslings Baby CarrierI have to admit, I didn’t really like this sling when I first got it. My son was so tiny that I felt he was getting squished.  I used it maybe once or twice and then put it away. When my daughter was born, she was a bit bigger and we used it for about a week or two…but again, felt like she was getting squished. As I started to blog about baby infant carriers, I dug out my “retired” slings and gave them a shot again. After writing about the benefits of the pouch slings, I think I “re-learned” how to properly use one.

Now, this sling is probably one of my favorite to carry in my diaper bag. It folds up neatly and is compact. It is super easy to use now that my daughter is 23lbs and can straddle my hip while I put her in. I even tried it on my son who is 26lbs and much taller, it is was great. For this price, it is well worth it… as well, the designed patterns make you the new funky mom on the block :)

This is what the manufacturer has to say:

Hotslings pouches are an innovative design that combine fashion with function. Just because you are a mom (or dad) now doesn’t mean you will be stuck with bears, bunnies, blue plaid and pink gingham. Nor will you be stuck with a front pack that only is good for your baby’s first few months while it pulls mercilessly on your upper back. 0-37 lbs.

City chic meets modern mama as you turn heads with your bold style. The design of this cotton sateen sling meets just about every wardrobe change you can think of and the Original Hotslings leg padding means you and your baby will never miss a step. 97% cotton, 3% spandex.

    Beware the size!
    I like this product a lot but I only gave 4 stars because of the size. I had to return the size 3 I purchased (it was too tight) for a size 4 (for a newborn).

    Great product
    I used this for the first time today with my 12 day old and loved it! He is a big baby though so I am not sure how long I will get to use it because I am sure he will soon be too…

    I bought this sling to assist me in carrying my 22lb 7month old when I had to take my other son to school.

    Great Sling!
    I LOVE this sling. I have three baby carriers: a moby wrap, a Baby Bjorn and this hotsling. My baby is 5 weeks old and loves to be carried around which is difficult as I also…

    Kind of tricky to use
    Took me a while to get used to how it wears and feels. My baby fussed a lot at first but got used to it pretty fast. Nice for around the house, doing chores and whatnot.
