The sling carries most of your baby's weight — think of going from 100% to about 10%. You can cook, fold laundry, and grab things off shelves. We always recommend keeping one hand lightly on your baby's back for extra security, especially while moving around. It's not a car seat — it's a carrier that gives your arms and back a serious break.

Most babies who hate structured carriers and wraps actually love slings. Why? Because it feels like being held — not strapped into a device.
