Close Baby Carrier Natural

I bought the Close Baby Carrier in pistachio when I was pregnant with my second son and found it amazing....to begin with. The carrier consists of 2 separate pieces. One is shaped and sewn together so that it goes over your body and this is the bit that holds the baby. There are metal rings at your hips which you use to adjust the carrier. There is a second piece of material that then wraps around yourself and the baby, to make you feel even more secure. It was very easy to understand how to put it on and take it off, it felt secure and safe around my baby. The colour was lovely and the material was so soft that I didn't worry about it coming ...  Read the complete review

I have a few slings as i love to 'wear' my baby. The Close sling is easily my favourite and has been well loved by my baby and me! The close sling is basically a premade wrap sling. It is made of extremely soft organic 100% cotton and is available in charcoal, chocolate, natural, olive, pistachio and rouge. I have it in charcoal which is a dark grey but i think all the colours are great. It is machine washable so a light colour is not a problem. Even after washing it is extremely soft and very comfortable for mum to wear. It is a piece of fabric which crosses over your front and back and basically wraps around your baby. It has a ring on ethier side which the ...  Read the complete review

I had a couple of carriers from my first child including one which is just a long piece of fabric you wrap around yourself. I found that one very good to use but a bind to get in and out of and himself was reluctant to use it as it was a faff compared to the premaxx bag sling we also have plus when you aren't used to it there is a feeling of it not being very secure while you are trying to get the child in it. So when I saw the Close sling being demoed at the Baby show at the NEC it seemed a great compromise. As we had our newest addition with us we were able to try it out with him though they also had a doll to use for anyone shopping without a small person ...  Read the complete review

I love this carrier. I have used it since my daughter was born. She is now over 6 months old and I still use it, even in a lying down sort of position when she's asleep. I used it this morning to go to a baby group, having parked down the road in a car park. Afterwards, I walked round the coop with her in it. It's fantastic for the supermarket. I see babies crying and complaining in the trolly when my baby is either asleep or just contendedly looking around. When she was newborn, I always carried it under the pram and whenever she was unsettled and wouldn't stop crying, I would pop her in it and she would usually go straight to sleep! There are several positions you ...  Read the complete review

I was really excited when i bought this sling in the red colour. It came with excellent instructions on DVD, so it was really clear to follow the different ways of wearing baby with this sling, and be confident that it was being done correctly! The material was lovely and soft, washes well and fits comfortably. I loved to wear my newborn in this sling as he could lay in it in a hammock like position, which felt very natural and supportive for him, and i felt really helped him to go to sleep as he was close to my heartbeat. However, after about 12 weeks he did not feel well supported in the sling, the stretchiness of the fabric meant that it always felt as thouggh he ...  Read the complete review
