The Kari Me Sling offers parents a wonderful way to carry around their baby just as they did when the baby was in their belly – as though they were still part of them, snuggled up closely to the chest. Although this is certainly not the only position this sling offers – babies can also face out, on the hip, or on the back. Wearing the sling with the baby in the hip position transforms the sling to not only a carrier but also a privacy screen perfect for breastfeeding! The material is a cotton/lycra mix which makes it super stretchy and makes it easier for the sling to distribute the weight throughout almost the entire torso as it stretches across the shoulders, along the back, and then wraps around baby. The sling is machine-washable and can fold up tiny enough to fit into its own carry bag – unless you simply want to toss it in your nappie bag, which it’s also perfect for! The sling carries baby up to 33 pounds, which can be anywhere around the 1st or 2nd birthday, allowing you to get maximum use out of the sling! It’s also available in multiple colors including: black, blue, burgundy, lilac, and ochre.

Parents who like to wash and then tumble dry will find that they won’t be able to do this as the dryer will shrink the material and make it too small for baby and although it’s said to be perfect for everyone, it does only come in one size so you may want to try it on in the store before making your purchase! The sling can also be a little tricky to get on the first few times of wear but it does come with an instructional DVD to make it a little easier. You definitely can’t beat the price though at only £37.95, it’s one of the most competitively priced on the market!
