Types of baby slings, wraps and baby carriers
Slings, wraps, carriers, baby backpacks - whatever you call them, there are lots of them, and everyone gets on better with some than with others.
At our sling meets we try out each others' slings and share tips on how to use them. This is one of the main purposes of our sling meets (although the socialising comes a close second!) because most quality slings are only available to buy online so you can't try them in the shops first.
