August News
This month we're kicking off by flying the flag for British baby slings (spot the world cup references)! We love Lifft slings, designed by local sling guru Louise Day, and sleepy nico baby carriers, designed by 2 London mums. Both slings are manufactured wholly in the UK to regulated standards.
So, with many slings available from further afield, does it pay to buy British? well, from an environmental point of view it certainly does - less transportation means a smaller carbon footprint, especially as most imported slings are air freighted. UK manufacture also means that they are guaranteed to be made without the use of child labour or sweat shops. By buying UK slings you are supporting the UK economy and the UK manufacturing industry. You can also rest easy that you are not just lining the pockets of big, faceless businesses, as most sling manufacturers are cottage industries. Many of the savings made buy sourcing local materials and reduced distribution costs can be passed on to you, the customer - that's why our British baby slings are such good value.
Whether your summer days are sun-drenched, or just drenched (sorry, I just had to pinch that line from my favourite magazine Juno), it's the time of year when we start thinking about holidays, outings, picnics and parks. Baby slings really show their worth at this time of year, as you can venture off the beaten track without having to follow pram friendly paths. Slings are great for holidays, being so compact to pack compared with a pram - besides, have you ever tried to push a pram on a beach?! For versatility on holiday, we really like the rockin' baby ring sling: vibrant prints cleverly hide spills and stains, reversible and adjustable, small enough to pack in your beach bag, and can double as a change mat or blanket.
For heavier babies, we love sleepy nico soft carriers. In soft breathable fabrics, they give outstanding comfort and support on longer hikes, yet don't have a bulky frame to transport. Not to mention the gorgeous fabric choices!
Holidays are also a great chance for dads to bond with baby - See our baby slings for men page for the best choices for dad-friendly baby slings.
