Who can use a sling

Posh Papoose® baby slings are a boon to any adult caring for a baby or toddler. This could be mom, dad, grandparents, caregivers, post partum doulas, babysitters, or friends. Slings take on the scent of the wearer, and can provide a comforting and familiar environment to a baby who is cared for by multiple caregivers.

Age range: Newborn to toddler (up to approx. 2 - 4 yrs old)
Preemies can benefit from skin to skin babywearing. Ask your doctor how to use a sling with a preemie.

Size range: approx. 5 lbs – approx. 35 lbs*

  • You may not find a sling comfortable after 25 lbs – try it and see.

If you carry your child in your arms a lot, then a sling simply adds more support and makes it even easier, more comfortable, and frees up your hands.

One Size Fits Most

Our standard sizing is optimal for people approximately 5'2" - 6' tall and approximately 110 - 190 lbs. We offer Petite Sizing and XL sizing as well. XL sizing carries a slight surcharge for the extra fabric it requires. See details in the Stylish Sling section of the catalog.

Ask your doctor before using if:

  • If you have back issues or other physical limitations.
  • If your baby is a preemie or weighs 5 lbs or less.
Note: It is not appropriate for young children to carry babies in a sling. They may not be physically able to carry the weight and may lack the maturity to handle the baby safely. Please read our Safety Guidelines for more safety information.
