Product Description
theBabaSling® Classic is our original design for everyday use, perfect for keeping your baby safe, close, and happy while giving you the freedom to get on with everyday life hands-free. Suitable for new-born babies to toddlers two years+, this carrier offers amazing versatility with at least five carrying positions including two perfect for discreet breastfeeding.
The Unique Adjustment System makes it quick and easy to resize for any member of the family, while the safety buckle makes it easy to take off without disturbing a sleeping baby. The railings and shoulder straps also have a thick cushion to provide extra support and comfort for parent and baby.
Many healthcare practitioners including osteopaths and chiropractors consider the hammock style of theBabaSling® to be ideal for healthy spinal development in infancy. The ergonomic shape of the baby sling is specifically designed to support your baby's weight evenly without putting any unwanted pressure on a newborn's developing hips and spine like some upright carriers do.

Easy to Use
I bought this sling over others for a number of reasons. First, it is simple to use-- simply adjust the straps according to your torso length and you're ready to go! Second, the buckle is large and strong, plus there is a second smaller safety buckle in the event that the larger one should give way whilst wearing your baby.
Good for Breastfeeding
Third, I have found it easy to wear the babasling whilst discretely breastfeeding my son and often do so especially when out and about. It is also fab as it lulls them to sleep as you walk, reminding them of your particular rhythm of walking whilst they were in the womb. Besides the closeness and comfort it offers them, I was particularly interested in getting a sling which I could easily breastfeed in and this was a good choice.
Safety & Health
Fourth, I found this to be great for keeping baby close and safe, happily fed/pacified and more easily negotiated in the tight spaces one inevitably finds themselves in shops. I also found shopping itself easier since my hands were free--likewise all tasks were easier since I did not have to hold my baby, but still had the advantage of having him close to me.
Also, no one likes to say it, but let's face facts-- not all people are clean or remember or bother to wash their hands, meaning if they touch your baby, they transfer their germs to them. Thus, I found that because my baby was on my body in the sling strangers on the street were less inclined to grab and touch my baby without asking since baby became an extension of me. I am certain it has helped my little one avoid a lot of needless illness from germy strangers!
Versatility
Finally, its versatile--as your baby grows, they can be worn in new exciting ways.... Read more ›

Anyone with a baby will know that sinking feeling when you waste yet more money on a baby product that is no good .... I was really hoping this wouldn't be the case with the babasling ....... and it wasn't !!! I'm soooo pleased I bought it ....I ummed and ahhed over slings and carriers for months prior to Sophies arrival and finally was won over by the babasling's looks, price and claims of being good for babies spines.
I'm pleased with my choice - it looks really good on (unlike most other models) and my Sophie seems so comfy in it.
I was worried I'd find it complicated - I hate instructions and have no patience - however the instructions are simple to follow and i found it fairly easy to negotiate.
The reason, however i gave it 4 stars is that I do find it a tad uncomfortable on the shoulder - bit like wearing a heavy school bag (yes i remember those days lol) . However it's not that bad - I often forget shes there and at least it doesn't strain my back.
I'd recommend it - but do shop around for price .. mine was £34.And the olive is a good colour choice - cool and outdoorsy looking and goes with anything .

Easy to use once you learn how. Baby settles into sling and (mostly) drifts off to sleep without too much fuss. However, there isn't much back support, so it may aggravate back pain. Of course this may be better with other carrying positions but I've just used the 0-3 month positions described in the reasonably clear accompanying leaflet. On the whole I don't regret the purchase.

I have been using the baby babasling since my daughter was 3 weeks old and I wished I had knew the babasling before as I used other brands for my other 2 daughters, which were not as easy to use and confortable as the babasling.
It is extremely easy to use and my baby find it very confortable, she is 5 months old now and I havent stop using it.
The only difficulty is if you want to move from diferent positions (mainly from breastfeeding to koala position) as you have to move the strings and in order to do it you have to take it off. Also, it is great for short trips but for long ones needs better back support
Other than that is brilliant

I brought this sling for use with my second child so that i didnt always have to use a double pushchair!! It is a fantastic buy! It seemed a little big when my son was first born but now hes a month old seems to be filling it pretty quickly and we love going out with it!! People always compliment me when we are out using it and we have almost stopped using the pushchair altogether! The only minor problem is i am a very warm person and we seem to overheat quite quickly even in this 'british summer' but i wont let that stop us using it i just take a bottle of water!! Its also very good for around the house when trying to get the housework done and baby isnt playing ball! (not washing up tho as u cant get to the sink!! Pitty!!) I havent tried it for breastfeeding yet but can see it giving good privacy as there is a fair amount of material! Overall its very good value for money and i can see us getting a lot of use out it!!

I bought this sling as I was curious to try it. I am a trained babywearing consultant and I own over 40 slings. I did not find the babasling comfortable to use. I think it is OK with an older baby on the hip, but I couldn't get it comfy with a newborn/smaller baby. The top rail cannot be tightened enough to support the baby, so I had to keep a hand on my baby (not truly hand free ,which is what you want with a sling) and due to the top rail being loose I got backache. I much prefer a simple unpadded ring sling because this can be tightened properly to support the baby.
It saddens me that many people buy this sling because it is widely distributed and then decide slings are not for them because they didn't get on with this one.If you want to find out about more comfortable types of sling, have a look at the sling guide website.

Good one
Easy to use and baby seems to like it as well, colour could be made more fun but its good if your little one is messy as it would hide any dirty stain.
