the original overlapping pleated shoulder, since 2001
Today's message: I can now accept credit
or debit card payments through Authorize.net -- you no longer have to use
PayPal to pay by credit or debit card! (American Express transactions will not go through, because they charge a separate, higher fee for each transaction and I elected not to sign up with them.)
Use the "your account" tab
above to create or log into your account before shopping -- I just upgraded the
cart, and now you get a 5% credit in loyalty points for your purchase! If
you've ordered before but do not have an account, please set one up and then
email me, and I'll apply the loyalty points retroactively. The cart uses your
email address to coalate your orders, so remember to use the same email address
you'd used previously (or let me know that it's changed).
Please read about infant safety in baby-holding devices (every parent, babywearer or not, needs to know about this) and sling safety!
You can estimate your shipping costs by going to this USPS page and entering your zip code and mine (03824). Select "large envelope". Weights for most slings are between 12-17 oz, and the majority of slings will be under 16 oz. Cost is usually between $4.95 and $9.55, depending on the package's weight and how far you are from NH. (Heavier fabrics include the tencel, slingified wraps, brocade, and slings sized L and longer.)
Summer-weight fabric slings are lighter or have a more open weave than those that do not have the "hot thermometer" symbol. They are great for warm, humid climates, or hot summer days up North. The fabrics are suitable for hot weather, but keep in mind that no fabric will magically keep you perfectly cool in the heat. Babywearing is inherently warm, just as holding a baby is, so while these fabrics will be more comfortable than some of the others, they will not be cooler than not having a little bundle of heat pressed up next to you. (Of course, I think babywearing is still worthwhile in the summer; it just tends to get a little sweaty, no matter what you're wearing, compared to cool-weather babywearing.) All of these slings (aside from the water mesh) can also be used in the winter, especially considering you'll likely be wearing warmer clothes, so please don't think they are only summer slings.
Key to symbols:
:
soft and snuggly for newborns (8-20 lbs) 
:
best for babies (8-28 lbs) 
:
suitable for babies and toddlers (8-35 lbs)
Please note: every wearer will have her/his own weight tolerance. The slings
will hold up to at least 35 lbs, but your own body may not.
