My baby boy constantly wanted to be held up until about 3 months of age. I tried using a Moby sling; this worked great at home but was a pain to take off and put on when we were out.

I also has a baby Bjorn but my little boy wasn't comfortable in that and would cry when we put him in there. He also had trouble sleeping in the Baby Bjorn.

Finally I did some research on baby wearing and came across the Hotsling. This is a great product. When my son was little I wore him on my front and he could either sleep in it or sit up in it. The Hotsling takes 2 seconds to put on and is very easy to get your baby in and out of. This sling also rolls up very small and I always care one in my purse now. It is also very reasonably priced for a sling.

As my boy gets older (now 9 months) this sling is still great because I could sit him on my hip in it. It provides enough support that my hands are free but allows him some movement. I used it while riding the bus; my son can sit down on my lap or stand up and bounce on my lap while in the sling and I can hold onto my purse and the railing.

I have two of these now. This is my second one. I needed a smaller size after losing the pre-pregnancy weight. The pattern of this one is very tasteful, goes with lots of cloths, and can be either dressy or casual.

I just can't rave enough about this sling.

I recently purchased this and love it. I prefer to carry my baby around with me and this makes it so much easier. There are other great slings out there too, but my main problem with many of the other slings is their look. I really like how cute and modern HotSlings are. I'll be saving up to buy another one soon! Definitely recommend it. Oh, and I used their website to find out my size and I think they do a great job of helping you get the right size.

I bought this when my son was just under 2 months old. He would cry alot. I couldn't go anywhere because he refused to ride in the stroller and would want to be held constantly. I have three other children and am always on the go. I bought this the week I had several events to attend. I'd put him in the sling and he would calm down and go right to sleep. It is perfect. He loves it and so do I. It is very lightweight and easy to pack. I live in Florida, so the limited fabric is wonderful. This is a great purchase. I use it everyday.

When deciding what size to get, I went to the hotslings site itself. After inputting my measurements it provided me with two possible sizes. I went with the 3 instead of the 2 b/c I have a long torso. Unfortunately it was too long probably because I am tall and thin. I returned and did not get the 2 b/c I didn't like the fabric (lint attracter!) either. If you are on the heavier side, go with the larger size, if you are thin, go with the smaller size.

I originally bought this sling in a size 3, but it was way to big. I returned it for a size 2 and it fit perfectly. I am short, 5'3" and was 4 month post-partum when I got the sling. She loves to snuggle in close and we have used it in various positions.

Very nice product. If you fall between sizes, go up a size. I am on the border between 2 & 3 and the 3 works great. I think the 2 would have been uncomfortable for the baby. Also the pattern is wonderful, it doubles as entertainment for my baby as her vision develops. I can just hang it near her and she loves to look at the black and white pattern.

I love my new hotsling. This is my fourth child and so I really need my hands free while comforting her at the same time. It is also very different from styles with hooks or rings. Very comfortable and easy to use. Highly reccommended!!!

I read several reviews on slings,I even when to a specialized baby store to test slings out. I've used a D-ring sling, a MobyWrap, and now the Hotsling. The hotsling works great for keeping baby happy and safe while doing small chores around the house and its easy and fast to put on. I actually took my d-ring sling and mobywrap back, and not to mention other baby carriers because either my baby wasn't comfortable or they were to hard to put on. The hotsling takes some time to get used too for you and your baby, so don't give up until you've tried it in several different positions, find the one that works great for you and baby. My son is 5mo.and 19lbs and still loves the cradle position. Smaller moms with bigger babies might want to get the next size up, also don't be surprise if your husband makes fun of you at first, then ask you to show him how it works later when he sees how comfy baby is.

We really do not like this sling, which is a shame b/c I was really excited about it b/c it looks so easy to use. The biggest drawback of this sling is that it's not adjustable - even if you get it sized correctly for your body, you have to take into account that babies are all different sizes too. Based on his age and the Hotsling's documentation, my baby should be comfortable in a forward or inward facing front carry. The sling is too small to carry him facing forward and too big for him to face me and stay upright. He never could lay down in it either b/c he's much too long - he was 26" long at 3mos old. Save your money and get a sling that adjusts to fit you AND your baby. I have a ring sling from another manufacturer that is much more comfortable for both of us. It was more expensive, but we've gotten a lot more mileage out of it than this Hotsling.

I saw these slings at Target and found them comparable to sling type carriers I had seen in baby boutiques for $20 to $60 more. After I ordered it from amazon.com, I found myself wishing I had ordered it sooner! It has been the carrier that I use the most! I have a Baby Bjorn as well, which does get used, but this sling folds up small enough to stash in a pocket of a diaper bag, so I always have it with me. It comes with an instructional DVD on the various carrying positions which is very helpful. I have a large baby (almost 16 lbs at 2.5 months old) so he no longer fits the cradle hold and barely fits in the modified cradle hold (sitting upright facing slightly forward against your side) but I find the side carry extremely helpful for nursing on the go. I just wear a nursing top, put him in the side carry, throw a nursing cover over the top and I've been able to walk around the mall while feeding my baby discreetly. (By the way, you can purchase nursing covers for $30 but if you know how to sew, just look up a tutorial online for how to make one and do it yourself, they're super easy to make.) The custom sizing on this makes for a comfy fit and the print is super vibrant and goes really nicely with most of my clothing. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it everywhere I go.
If your baby likes it, it is worth the cash.
