What is a Pouch Sling?

A pouch sling is one of the easiest type of slings to use. The pouch sling consists of a sash of fabric which you wear on one shoulder. The sash is doubled over on itself forming a pouch which you can just pop your baby into. No clips, buckles, rings or tying! Suitable for a tiny newborn or a toddler these are very versatile slings and can be used in a great variety of carrying positions.

Hotslings Adjustable Pouch

Age range: newborn to toddler
Weight range: 8lb to 35lb (16kg approx)
Positions: cradle (nursing), upright facing in, upright facing out, on the hip

Hotslings Adjustable PouchThe clever people at Hotslings have come up trumps with this ingeniously designed adjustable pouch. The Hotslings Adjustable Pouch manages to combine the sleek no-frills appearance of a pouch sling, with the adjustability of a ring sling.

Features include:
  • Very quick and easy to use and adjust
  • Wide shoulder design spreads weight effectively
  • Sleek padding on both rails for added comfort and support
  • Ideal for breastfeeding
  • One size fits most, so usually suitable for both parents
  • Machine washable, tumble dry on low
  • Compact design folds small and comes with a handy storage bag
  • This versatile sling offers a variety of carrying positions
  • Comes with a booklet of instructions

 

 

The Hotslings Adjustable Pouch is a safe continuous loop which doubles up on itself to form a pocket that your baby lies or sits in. It cannot detach or come apart, so is very safe and secure.

The Hotslings Adjustable Pouch has two buckles which allow the pouch to be adjusted to the size that you need. It is designed to fit most people so will usually be suitable for both parents (see below for more detail on sizing). To adjust, you simply pull the straps to make the sling smaller, or loosen them to make it bigger. If you need the sling quite small there are extra slots to tuck the ends of the straps through to keep it looking neat. The buckles can also be safely tucked away from little fingers.

Most right handed people wear a sling on their right shoulder. If you are left handed you can wear the sling on your left shoulder, you will simply have the buckles on your back. It is usually still possible to reach them if that is the case. Generally you will adjust the sling before putting it on anyway so this isn't a problem.

Hotslings Adjustable Pouch Sizing

The Hotslings Adjustable Pouch is designed to cover sizes 2 to 5 on the Hotslings Sizing Chart. Please see the Hotslings Sizing Information page to determine whether this will be suitable for you.

Hotslings Adjustable Pouch Fabric Information

The Hotslings Adjustable Pouch is 97% cotton sateen and 3% spandex. The padding is 100% unbleached cotton.

Coorie Fleece Pouch Sling Coorie fleece pouch sling

Age range: newborn (or prem baby) to toddler
Weight range: birth to 35lb (16kg approx)
Positions: cradle (nursing), upright facing in, upright facing out, on the hip

The Coorie Pouch Sling is incredibly quick and easy to use so perfect even for a sling novice. You just pop it over your shoulder, put your baby in the pouch and you're good to go! Beautifully made in a fleece fabric the Coorie provides a snuggly cuddle for your baby and a comfortable hands free carry for you.
Suitable for the smallest newborn but still handy for a toddler who is tired of walking the Coorie is a very handy sling to have. Folds up small enough to fit in a bag and can double up as a blanket on a car seat or in a buggy.

The Coorie Pouch Sling can be used in a variety of positions, cradle (suitable for breastfeeding), upright facing in, upright facing out (kangaroo carry) or on the hip. The Coorie Pouch comes with a really detailed instruction booklet which shows all the different carrying positions.

As the Coorie Pouch isn't adjustable the sizing is crucial. If you and your partner are very different sizes you may need to order one for each of you.

If you're a fan of the Coorie and you have an older child - why not get them their own mini Coorie so they can sling their dolly/teddy? These make a fantastic gift for an older child with a new baby in the family!

Coorie fleece pouch slingCoorie Pouch Sling Sizing

As the Coorie is non-adjustable it is important that you buy the correct size, otherwise it won't be comfortable for you.

Size 1: 55cm or less (less than 22 inches)
Size 2: 56 - 61cm (22-24 inches)

Tri-cotti Sling *now 100% organic*

Age range: newborn (or prem baby) to toddler
Weight range: birth to 33lb (15kg approx)
Positions: cradle (nursing), upright facing in, upright facing out, on the hip

Tri-cotti baby slingThe Tricotti Sling is a very popular, compact and easy to use baby sling. It actually consists of two separate pouch slings (as described at the top of this page). You wear one on each shoulder which gives superior back support and weight distribution than a single pouch sling.

The Tricotti Sling offers all the carrying positions that a wrap-around sling does (cradle, facing in, facing out, on the hip), but has the advantage that you can just pop it on with no need for tying and no long trailing bits of fabric to deal with. As with the Coorie Pouch it is important that you get the correct size to ensure a comfortable fit.

Perfect for use with even the smallest newborn the Tricotti is a lovely choice for a first sling. However the Tricotti Sling also lasts well as it is still comfortable for carrying older heavier babies too!

The fabric of the Tricotti Sling is a soft thick cotton jersey which is machine washable and made with non-toxic dyes.

Please note that if you are very petite then even the small size may not be suitable for you as it may not give a snug enough fit.
