I get asked a lot for advice on shopping for slings! And so I've popped it all together on a handy page! Complete with discount and affiliate links you can use if you're planning to buy new, but also advice on pre-loved shopping! I hope it's helpful! Would anyone be interested in a similar one for particular products (e.g. ring slings?!)

I've got a couple of emails about the Wildride carrying aids that are being heavily promoted on the socials... what do I think about them? Basically the same as the lovely Hannah from Wear My Baby, so I'm sharing her first video on them below:
✋ It's not a hands free carry at all
🚗 It gives you a shelf to park them on, which your body may already provide if you have hips!

We don't have them in the library as they're not hands free and the following are hands free hip carriers and more adaptable (and comfier IMO):
- Ring Slings (for newborns to preschoolers)
- Scootababy (from 4/5m to toddlers)
- LennyHip (for 3.5kg - 2yrs)
- MiniMonkey MiniSling (for 3.5kg - about a year realistically)

Hope helpful!

🦁WILDRIDE TODDLER SLING!🐺 It's here, it seems comfy for a NOT-HANDS-FREE carrying aid, but if you've got HIPS already it's unlikely to change your life 😜...

Thank you 🙏 to whoever popped these lovely two handmade bags through my door! They must’ve seen my post about looking for extra Amazon gift bags or equivalent for sling orders to go out in - these are lovely and I’m very touched!!! X###xx

I finally got round to writing a guide to carrying in the heat - let me know what you think? Helpful? Anything that you've found helpful I should add in? ###

🌞 School holidays! 🌞

📅 I'm still doing appointments, just less of them as I juggle childcare.
📦 Slings are still going to go out each morning though - I have a very enthusiastic helper for labelling parcels for collection or posting!
⛱ I'm taking a break 10-17 August and 30 August - 2nd September so no hiring or appointments on those days.

Really good write up of the pros and cons of BabyBjorn carriers - I get a lot of requests for the Harmony but with no wholesale price/discounts available to me it’s a tough call
- I can get 2 really useful Ergobaby Omnis for the same price 😬 What do you think - should I get one?

Looking for a home for any Amazon gift bags? We can use them!! They’re great bags for library slings! Donations of all sizes very welcome! Let’s keep that plastic outta landfill 😘

Just drop donations to Lucy @ 60 Botley Road Oxford whenever you’re passing :)
