We love this gentle reposition video from Hannah at izmibaby - such a lovely example of what we mean when we say - put the baby where you want them to be, and then use the carrier to keep them there. Sometimes a little wiggle and tighten is a great idea, especially when your little one falls asleep. ❤️

It’s been a Carrying-On-The-Hip kind of a day! Not only did our shiny new Ergobaby Upsie carriers arrive (in Leopard Print!! 🐆 ) we had hip carries going on all around the room in buckle carriers and in ring slings, which one beautiful babe took as an opportunity for a snuggle nap 😴, and we had lovely time with one of our twin families in the Lenny Twin, which separates into two to become the Lenny Hip.

Quick ups and downs are the order of the day, with such a natural carrying position being ideal for watching the world go by ♥️

If you’d like to learn to carry on the hip, we have appointment slots available for Thursday and Friday this week, or reserve your carrier for hire (postal/collection)

It’s one of those really annoying truths that it’s super tricky to get one carrier to do absolutely *everything* well - for every body, and every baby, in all carrying positions, as children grow and seasons change. We are very different shapes on the front and the back, and sometimes what fits us well in one position, won’t do as well in another. Some carriers are great at symmetry and some do asymmetrical positions like hip carrying better, some offer a more ergonomic seat in an outward facing position than others.

We specialise in making sure you have the right thing at the right time, giving you realistic timescales and expectations of what each carrier can do well for you, so you can make informed choices. It’s easy to get confused online with multiple sales teams competing for the best, the biggest, the does-everything….does it really? Well, sometimes…..

Baby carriers are very person, a good fit is a safe fit. We are always here to help with carriers, no matter where they are from, and we don’t sell a single one, to better help you decide!

If you’d like to know what your carrier does best - let us know by DM or in the comments!

Let’s go on a Mountain Hike!🏔

Here is one of the more unique additions to our library, just landed from the US and we are super interested to see what you think - these are the Trail Magik carriers. We’ve got more than one keen hiker and backpacker here, and a mountain of small children to take along with us, so these ultralight pack addition carriers for children 12 months plus have often been on our radar. We’ve had a huge stock of framed child carriers with outdoorsy brands like Osprey , Deuter, Thule, etc, for years, and we are happy to send you off on adventures in those, but sometimes it’s about the long days and all ups and downs for tired legs.

Trail Magik carriers are a pack addition and need a framed and sturdy rucksack or child carrier to attach to, but we are very excited to try them out and find ourselves a mountain or two - unless you guys want to try them out first?

Available to try on or try out now at The West Yorkshire Sling Library

Toddler sized carriers can do AWESOME work, especially when they pack light and wipe clean! The best carrier is the one you have with you when you need it 🤣 And we’ve done many years of a “just in case” carrier! We wouldn’t attempt some of the big adventures and long days out we’ve had without a quick and easy carrier in the bag.

We’ve got a fab selection that pack small, dry quickly, carry easily, and many weight under 500g - exactly what you need for tired little legs (theirs, not yours, unfortunately!)
