Cozy Carrier Looking for a sling that provides a soft touch for you and your sensitive little one? The Squirt Microfleece Sling by Peanut Shell is designed with comfort in mind with its cashmere-like feel and breathable fabric. Although this snug sling can be worn year-round, climates over 80 degrees can cause the fabric to get a bit too hot for Baby’s comfort. This piece is a pleasant option for new sling users who worry carting a newborn around can be anything but comfortable. ($44, Peanut Shell Microfleece Sling in Squirt, www.target.com) |
| Water Baby Share your love of the water with your baby by sporting this mesh sling. TaylorMade has developed this versatile option for use in the shower, pool or at the beach. The polyester fabric doesn’t absorb water and dries quickly. Don’t just put on this sling for a quick dip—it’s perfect for carrying your bundle of joy out of the water as well. ($37, TaylorMade Water Mesh Sling, www.taylormadeslings.com) |
