Product Description

Size: Medium

Simplicity holds great power. Classic black, so versatile, so essential, you'll wonder how you ever did without this midnight-toned baby pouch for so long. You and your baby will have fun in the sun with this vibrant Black sling. The fabric is lightweight, so you can wear it care-free during all of your indoor and outdoor adventures. It is constructed with durable cotton that still breathes, enhancing the comfort of both monkey and monkey hugger. Baby pouches work well with the "back hip sit carry" position, and are suitable for carrying a child up to age 3 or 30 pounds.You can work in the garden or play in the park with a happy baby safely secured on your back. Even better, the material is machine washable, so you'll have no worries in the style department from unsightly stains. Its durable fiber does its best to fend off those pesky wrinkles, and its color works just as hard to avoid fading. If you're worried about maintaining that sleek, natural look you're going for, rest assured! As with all of our baby pouches, this has a strong-yet-streamlined designed with crisp lines to minimize bulk and maximize fashion. And let's not forget the comfort factor: this carrier achieves it all with its lightweight, breathable fabric. So wear your Black sling with confidence! You're sure to look and feel great, with both hands free to work or play. Be Safe: If your child is under the age of 4 months, please read this safety article about positioning your infant correctly (in any kind of soft carrier sling): http://www.thebabywearer.com/articles/HowTo/Positioning.pdf

I have owned a New Native Carrier, a Baby Bjorn, a ring sling, a Slingling, a Moby and the list goes on and on... This is by far my favorite most versatile sling. The first thing to note is that it does not need adjusting, wrapping, whatever. Very easy. You can fold it up into a tiny wad and stick it in your diaper bag or have it in the car ready to go. The next thing is that I can put my baby or toddler in almost any position. I carry my toddler on my hip and my newborn in the kangaroo position and the cradle position. I also nurse my children in this sling. The fabric is a strong solid cotton with almost no stretch but it does not feel too hot or thick for my babies. One thing that I will note about the sizing is that your sling with baby in it should not be hanging lower than your belly button because that is bad for your posture. I bought a medium first (I'm 5' 8" and 160lbs) and thought it was a little tight (I have big babies) so I bought a large too. Guess which size I'm using? The medium. I realized that I just wasn't placing my baby in comfortably (baby's bottom should be at the seam where the pocket is the widest and the shoulder should be correctly positioned on you) and that is why it seemed tight. It needs to be somewhat tight though, you don't want your baby floating around in a sling or hanging down below your waist. Last but not least, the price is right!!! I buy one of these as a gift at every baby shower.

This review is from: HugaMonkey Black Baby Sling (Baby Product)

This is my first-choice go-to sling. I like that it's small enough to jam into the diaper bag or purse, easy and uncomplicated to throw on, easy to wash (even goes in the dryer) and most importantly, my baby likes it. Not sure what the other reviewer is complaining about with the sizing. I'm on the upper end of the size small range and the size small fits great. My 9 month old LOVES being in a hip carry in this sling.

It isn't what I'd pick for a hike or a full day carry, but it's a great help for an hour or two of shopping, lulling her to sleep around the house or a quick walk around the block.

The product itself was good. The fabric was nice and breathable, size was nearly perfect, a little on the large side but easily solved by flipping the fabric at the shoulder. Also, you can shrink it some in the washer. However, I could not find a suitable position for my 6 week old baby to lay without her chin resting on her neck. I tried all the tips recommended, including placing a small receiving blanket inside for more support, but there just isn't a way for her to lay safely. I will try it again when she has better head control/neck support and may have more luck with it then. In all other aspects though, it really was what I was looking for.
