• Pouch related sites:

  • Baby Space Slings

    • This is one of the rare carriers that is a hybrid of a ring sling and pouch.  Baby Space Slings combine the curved pouch and wide shoulder of a pouch sling with the adjustability and tail of the standard ring sling. One of the advantages of this sling is the deep pocket/pouch that is formed by the curved seam. This makes putting your child in the sling much easier and faster! The unique curve also helps keep the baby in place and is very secure, much like a standard pouch sling. The curve also makes for less adjusting than a standard ring sling. The wide shoulder promotes good spread across the back with little fuss meaning a more comfortable wearer! (www.babyspaceslings.com)
