Two reviews received in as many days from happy customers who have purchased from our varied baby carrier range.
Unido Baby Sling
I rec'd my Unido sling today and have used it twice already.....I can tell it is going to be brilliant and just what I was looking for.
The fabric feels great and it looks and feels like excellent quality, so I am very happy with it.
Thank you!!
Popit Wrap
I absolutely love my popit wrap! :-) It's so comfortable to wear & my son loves the snuggle time when he's in it & he loves that he can see out when he's in it. I find it fantastic for support as I have a spinal curve & I tried a few baby carriers before I purchased the popit wrap which didn't offer anywhere near the back support I need which the popit offers :-)
As expected the US Consumer watch dog, CPSC, issued a warning recently on the possible dangers of soft baby slings.
We support all efforts to ensure baby wearing is done in a safe way and endorse the reason for the warning - which is of course to save babies lives.
It is important to point out that the sling type that features predominantly is a bag type sling
As a result Infantino have recalled over one million Slingrider slings, which can be seen in the shot above and we predict more recalls of bag-type slings will follow.
We realise consumers will be nervous and unsure about baby sling safety. We want to assure our customers that all the baby carriers and slings on Belly Beyond are safe and are NOT involved in this recall.
Here are some important safety rules around baby slings and carriers.
Top 3 Baby Sling Safety Rules:
Ensure you can always see your babies face
Ensure that their airways are clear
Make sure they are not in a curled position with their chin on their chest
We are long standing supporters of babywearing, have worn our own babies since newborn and know the positive difference it can have in parents lives. We encourage any one who wants to know more about slings, wraps or other soft baby carriers such as the ERGObaby, to check out the information on the Belly Beyond site, there are fantastic recources available on the Babywearing Safety Facebook page and also at the NZ site Slingbabies
Yip yet another video of the scrummy Finn, this time helping me demonstrate how easy it is to get your newborn baby into a dulce&zoet baby sling.
Same safety disclaimer applies of course!
What we love about Slings - Newborn
* The dulce&zoet baby slings are a fantastic way to carry your baby right from when newborn. When babies are so tiny they love the closeness and warmth of mumma's body right there and it's very settling for them. For particularly fussy times (around about 5.10pm in our house!) put baby in the sling and get on with what you were doing. The rhythm of your movement as you go about your business will lull them and soothe them and my babies often drifted off asleep very easily this way.
* The sling is ideal for putting baby in when you need to pick up older children from kindy, daycare or playgroup.
* You won't have little old ladies fussing in babies face and waking them up! Your little one is tucked safely away and unless they spot the feet out one side a lot of people don't even notice you're carrying a baby.
* You can easily breastfeed in the sling and it offers privacy as well.
What we love about Slings - Older Baby
* Fantastic for quick trips to the shops or the bank when you don't want the hassle of getting out the pram. Brilliant if you have older children too because you can put baby in the sling and know you'll have your hands free to manage a breakaway toddler if need be.
What we love about Slings - Toddler
* Pick me up Mummy! Mummy I'm tiiired. Carry me Mummy!! Yes, been there. Pull your sling out of your handbag and give their tired little legs a break.
What we love about slings - for all
No buckles, no straps, no padding, just a carefully constructed sized pouch sling that will become one of your favourite items of clothing. It folds away so small you’ll never have to uhm and aah about carrying another bulky baby accessory, it’ll fit easily any purse or bag. All slings are reversible, the inside fabric is visible when you fold the sling with a twist over your shoulder (to spread the weight, adjust the sling and stop the fabric from cutting into your neck).
