Welcome to SlingGuide!

SlingGuide is a site that is set up by parents for parents. It is a comprehensive, independent site with no advertising and which is run by volunteers who want to help others choose and use a sling which is best for them. We can’t come shopping with you but SlingGuide can.

All slings on this site are soft carriers. We believe that soft slings are more comfortable for baby and parent, more stylish and have a longer life than some of the superficially similar options more readily available.

The information on the site has been compiled by parents who have extensive experience in using slings, and will be regularly updated and expanded. You can click on any of the links on the menu on the left to see what is available. Benefits of soft slings or an overview of the different types is a good place to start.

If you want to spread the word about slings we have leaflets that can be downloaded and printed. If you want to have a larger number of leaflets printed please contact us and we will try to match you up with a sponsor for the printing cost.

We hope you find your visit to SlingGuide helpful and enjoyable.
