Here are just a few suggestions of places where the sling can be invaluable. If you have any others do share them and I'll add to the list:

Public transport

Does your station have stairs and no lift? What about the tube stop you want to go to? How hard is it to collapse a buggy in one hand with baby and bag in the other, hail the bus, pay and get on? Put baby  in the sling, a small backpack on and you're off! Easy to get on and off the bus, tube & train without waiting for the kindness of strangers to lug the buggy & baby up steps for you.


Big family party or wedding

As soon as your granny, aunt, uncle, best friend spot baby they want to pick them up and carry them off!  Your and / or baby may not think that's such a great idea in the first 10/15 minutes or so.  Instead, wear baby into the party in your fabulous sling and let baby take it all in, safely next to you. Once baby is happy and eager to go and explore simply pop them out and hand round / let run around as required.

If baby is under 6 months old you could also turn the sling into a pouch again and use for a nap during a long day out, such as at a wedding. If you're wearing the right kind of top,  the pouch can also be used for discreet breastfeeding. Can be very handy if baby starts getting upset during the ceremony / big speech!


Help you lose weight

Going for long walks with baby in the pram might seem like a good bit of exercise but how much more exercise to go for walks and carry baby too! Can also help you to cover terrain that a buggy might struggle with.


Going to your favourite restaurant

No space to park the buggy in between the tables? No harness on the restaurants high chair? No problem! Swan in with baby in fabulous sling, take baby out and pop in highchair and secure with sling round baby's waist, making a cushion with the tail for added panache!


Supermarket trolley

Loop the sling around baby's waist and fold tail to make cushion. Comfortable and secure


At the airport

Checked your bags into the hold? Checked your buggy into the hold? Great, only another 2 hours to mooch round duty free before walking 2 miles to your plane before take off!! Sling can easily fit in your hand luggage and may even count as clothing and helps you carry your baby around a busy, noisy and sometimes frightening airport. Sling can then be used as a blanket or burp cloth once on the plane.


Whilst on holiday

Want to go round a fabulous museum? Lots of steps? Not only is getting around a lot easier in the sling but baby also gets a great view of what's interesting you.

You may also start to see a subtle difference in the way you view your baby in that they are part of the experience of getting on the bus or train or going round a museum, rather than being just part of a cumbersome pushchair that's hard to manouvre and where your baby or toddler only sees the backs of people's legs!
