Product Description

File under What A Small World -- after I gave birth to little 6 pound, 9 ounce Cameron in July of 1997, I was a mess. Unmoored and questioning myself after only three weeks, I somehow made it to the Hollywood La Leche League meeting, where the leader was the unbelievably kind Cheryl Sears, daughter-in-law of that famous Dr. Sears. It was his book that got me to try my first sling, so I am very happy to offer you the Balboa Baby Sling. Read on, and carry on!

Awesome Sling
This sling is awesome!

PRO:

It is roomy enough to hold my 9 month old son who weighs 22 pounds, and he loves being in it. The wide padded shoulder strap makes it easy to wear without pain. In fact, it is probably the most back-friendly slings you can find.

I have tried a number of baby carriers (baby bjorn, moby wrap, other sling design) and this one is by far the most convenient. You can just throw it over your head and it is ready to go. This sling is easy to both tighten and loosen with baby in it. It has two large pockets on the outside, which hold a bunch of napkins, keys, and perhaps a cell phone and a hat.

Since I've had this sling, I have gotten a lot of compliments for it and I have been asked several times where one can buy it.


CON:

Be aware that this sling is pretty big. You can tighten it as far as you like, but if you are very short and slender, you may not like this product. (At 5'10"/slender, I didn't have this problem, but it just seems to be likely.)

Like all slings, it goes over one shoulder, which makes it less back-friendly than a wrap, such as the Moby (though this sling is not bad at all).


This sling was worth every penny and I don't know where I'll be without it.

Love this sling!
I used the baby bjorn with my first son and was happy with it. However, when DS#2 arrived, he was too small for the baby bjorn (infant needs to be 23in for it). So I bought this and loved it. Great for around the house, or even out shopping. Very easy to use and care for.
I also tried the moby wrap... that one was too complicated for me to use. This was way easier and faster.

must have!
A definite must have. This came in handy in so many ways. My baby loved cuddling in it when she was a newborn, and now it makes it easy to walk around with her. Definitely a better sling than most brands. Thicker material, and the padding on the edges is helpful to have.
