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.

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. |
