Have Another Question?

We've tried to answer the most common questions here on this page, but if you have another question that we haven't answered, then feel free to get in touch.


1. How do I tie my sling?
There are a variety of ways in which our slings can be used. Please see our "How To Use" page for more information about how to use our mei tai style slings, including important safety tips.

2. Do you provide slings in different sizes?
The straps on our slings are 70” long, and are designed to fit most people, up to a women’s size 22. We also offer extra long straps, which are 6” longer than standard, for an extra charge. Please contact us if you have any special considerations.

3. Do you provide sample fabric?
Unfortunately, we don't offer formal samples, however if you particularly want to see a sample of a particular fabric we can always try to locate some offcuts - please get in touch.

4. Can I wash my sling?
All slings are machine washable, on a delicate cycle.

5. What sized children are the slings suitable for?
Children from newborn to toddler (with a maximum weight of approximately 30lb) can go in the sling, depending on carry position. If the body of the sling is too long for your new baby, roll up from the bottom to shorten the length. The headrest should remain up for young children, to allow some support, but can be folded back once the baby can hold his head up. All seams are double stitched, and the weight-bearing seams are triple stitched to ensure they remain as strong as possible.

6. Can I breastfeed my baby while he is in the sling?
Yes, you can. Simply loosen the waist strap so that you are able to lower your baby to the correct level. Baby can then feed, while the body of the sling preserves your dignity. When you are ready, simply readjust to the original height and retighten the straps.

7. How long will my order take?
We aim to dispatch all standard baby slings within 5-7 days (although it may be sooner, depending on stock). Our custom baby carriers will take around 7-10 days.

8. How much is delivery?
Please see our delivery page.
