Hotslings Hemp Organic Baby Sling Carrier

Hotslings pouches are an innovative design that combine fashion with function. Just because you are a mom (or dad) now doesn't mean you will be stuck with bears, bunnies, blue plaid and pink gingham. Nor will you be stuck with a front pack that only is good for your baby's first few months while it pulls mercilessly on your upper back.

Carry your baby with eco-consciousness in our greenest fabric. This hemp/organic cotton/Lycra blend stretch twill is undyed and unbleached. Soft as a baby's bum. Hemp fiber is known for its strength, durability, and efficiency. Hemp crops can produce 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax using the same amount of land. It also leaves the soil rich after harvest, and its deep roots anchor the soil to the earth, preventing runoff. A sustainable, gender-neutral choice. Original Hotslings leg padding built in.

Sizing:
Correct sizing for pouch slings is essential for the happiness of both mom/dad and baby.

To measure from shoulder to hip: use a soft tape measure and start at the outer corner of your shoulder and measure diagonally across your body down to your hip bone. The number (in inches) should be in the 20s.

See size chart below for measurements & best fit. We carry sizes 1 through 6 in stock, but would be happy to special order a specific size for you, just ask!

Charissa from Alaska              February 27th, 2009 This is the second hotsling I've purchased and now that my baby is old enough to be held in the hip carry I love the pouch style. I found them to be useless for the cradle carry (like in the photo) and to snug for the kangaroo carry but for the on the hip carry they are fantastic. I love that this one is hemp and organic cotton but I'm not in love with the feel of the fabric. It looks alot softer in the photo than it actually is. I thought it was more of a jersey knit but it feels more like a soft denim or twill. Aside from that I would recommend this product to anyone with a baby over 5 months old.

Andrew Dorman from Hoboken, NJ              December 11th, 2008 This sling is a great alternative to items such as the Baby Bjorn and similar products. However, we needed more information on the item prior to buying it. I recommend visiting the product website to learn more about the sling and see if it is right for you. Unfortunately, ours is too small for our baby and we'll need to get a larger size. On the plus side, it's made of Organic, eco-friendly products that minimize the carbon-footprint your child leaves behind while reducing the amount of chemically treated materials such as polyester and bleached cotton that your child would otherwise be exposed to. We would recommend this item to others.

Shelly Todd from Northwood, NH              July 15th, 2008 This is the third Hotsling I have had. I got one as a present and couldn't figure out how to use it...it just felt too uncomfortable. Well, while recently looking for a different kind of carrier, a knowledgeable salesperson suggested a Hotsling and I told her my story...she said it was too small and had me try the next size up and I was IMMEDIATELY in love! The slings are so easy to use. I also have an ERGO baby carrier which I love but with all the buckles, etc. it can be burdensome for a quick trip but is awesome for hiking! The sling is VERY compact...slips on quickly and baby slides right in for a no hands secure ride. Make sure you follow the directions for sizing...it's simple to measure yourself and important to get a correct fit. If you can't measure I would suggest going a size bigger than smaller...too small just doesn't work, whereas a bit big is ok. As I said, I now have 2...one for the car/diaper bag and one for around the house. My little girl loves being so close and I love not having a sore back and shoulders.
