New Native Cotton Baby Sling/Wrap

Pros: Fitted - no rings/belts to adjust; easy to use; folds compactly; lightweight; versatile; stylish.
Cons: Fitted - not adjustable; as with all slings, takes a little practice.

There was a time in my life when I thought that all parents who wore their babies, slept with their babies or breastfed in public must necessarily be hippies. I couldn't see a bit of myself in any of these practices - until I became a mother. My daughter ...

Pros: Sooo handy, not bulky, pretty simple to use
Cons: cost

For my third child, I decided to try using a sling to carry her around. With my previous two children, I'd used the NoJo with no good results, so resorted to carrying them in my arms or lugging them around in the car seat bucket. This time around, I had ...

Pros: Discreet breast feeding, sleek design, cozy for both sleeping and active baby.
Cons: Parents of two very different sizes can not share the same carrier.

I ordered this product after finding my Baby Bjorn lacking. I wanted something that I could breast feed in discreetly and that a swaddled baby would find comfy. I had not looked into slings before because I associated them with garish colors and puffy con ...

Pros: Comfortable, lightweight, hands-free closeness!
Cons: Not adjustable

I purchased the New Native Baby Carrier before we had our third child. I had tried the other carriers - the front pack type and one of the larger adjustable slings - with our other two children and I wasn't happy with either one. The front pack killed...

Pros: Breathable fabric good for summer, comfortable & convenient!
Cons: Need more fabric options (pattern, etc). Price is high (should be only $19.99 I think).

We tried about a half dozen different slings before settling on this one as our favorite. This sling allows baby to breathe (strong soft cotton that's not too thick), is easy to keep handy anywhere you go since so small & compact, is safer than many of ...

Pros: Easy hands free carrying for a contented baby!
Cons: If your baby weighs more than 25 pounds...got a strong back?

BB (Before Baby)

Like many people without children, we had solid ideas about how we would raise our baby and what she would be like. Visions of a blissfully happy child cooing from our arms were the order of the day. Of...

Pros: Weight distributed evenly across back, not clip or straps. Can be used as baby grows.
Cons: The older your baby, the more difficult it is to get used to.

My first New Native Baby Carrier was given to me as a gift before my first child. I carried my son in it until he was about two years old, and my daughter is just now growing out of it. It is in the same condition as when I first had it. It has...

Pros: Most comfortable I have tried; distributes weight evenly; tucks right into diaper bag
Cons: haven't figured out how to nurse in it; not adjustable from day to day

I got this before my baby was born, and have used it from the first few days. I am 5'10" and got the large which was a mistake - should have got the medium - but I just altered it (following the simple instructions) and now it's great. My baby is now 4...

Pros: comfortable for baby and parent, long lasting, good for the environment
Cons: a little pricey, flannel was a bit too hot

We purchased this sling after researching several options for a soft carrier. We loved being able to purchase an organic cotton sling, too. Our daughter is now nearly 15 months old and we are still using it. It took us a few tries to become...

Pros: comfortable, safe way to carry baby, easy to use
Cons: a little pricey, but well worth it!

I love my New Native Baby Carrier. I use it all the time, at home, every time I'm shopping or out anywhere. If I will be standing or walking for more than a few minutes, I will definitely have my New Native with me! I have used it since my daughter was a ...

Pros: Not bulky, discreet, nice plain fabrics, no rings
Cons: Sizing not adjustable. Hard for newborns -- need to prop head and neck.

This is...in my opinion...the best sling out there. I bought it when my son was a newborn. I ordered direct from New Native and bought a "second" for about $25, and I couldn't find any flaws in it at all. My son is now almost seven months old, and he s ...

Pros: Ease of use, calming effect on baby.
Cons: Sometimes causes back or shoulder pain.

As a new mother, I quickly realized that along with all the new skills that need to be developed are PHYSICAL skills: changing a diaper, breastfeeding, installing a car seat, etc. Sometimes, it just gets overwhelming.

Enter the New Native...

Pros: Easy to wear with no belts or loops.
Cons: None

After three boys, I finally had a little girl. She was a little fussier than the boys and refused to take a pacifier. My neighbor always had her children in a sling so I thought I would give it a try. I did not like the look of most slings or all the ...

Pros: Comfortable, easy to pack, and a great price.
Cons: Limits some activities.

I purchased this sling when my son was about 3 months old. I had tried the typical front baby carriers and he hated them. I decided to try this sling first before trying the more expensive baby carriers. I am so glad I did. First, this is easy to ...

Pros: Cooler, nice solids colors, no bulk.
Cons: OWWW! No padding, unadjustable, pretty pricey for what it is.

I have been doing research for six months to find the right sling. I narrowed it down to the New Native Baby Carrier and a Kissaluvs sling. My 13lb baby spent 1 1/2 hours in the NNBC and I felt as if my spine would snap in two. I thought I would like...
