Slings are a safe place for a child to be. Instead of running loose in crowded or dangerous places, a child in a sling is held safe and secure right next to your body. Slings also provide emotional safety when needed, so that children can venture into the world and become independent at their own pace. Slings are economical. Slings cost far less than strollers, front-carriers or backpacks.
Many mothers consider the sling to be one of their most useful and economical possessions.
Baby-wearing is fun. And when your baby is older, having her in the sling makes conversations easier and allows you to observe her reactions to the wonders of the world around her. It s also fun for baby, because when she is up at eye level, other adults notice and interact with her more. Your child will feel more a part of your life when she is in her sling, and you will find yourself becoming more and more enchanted with this special little person. See also Why to Babywear .
