Love Radius Parent's Hoodie

I ordered a Love Radius Parent's Hoodie with the new stock of stretchy wraps and rings slings to try it out and send it out as a demo.

First impressions are that it's a nicely fitted hoodie, it's got thumbholes in the cuffs and a decent hood and a nicely hidden zipper down one side that can open to allow for extra material for babywearing or for your bump.  

It's not waterproof but you can have a light rain jacket or umbrella in your bag for those summer showers.  

It's also not too heavy or fleecy so will be perfect all year round here in Ireland, you can layer up or down underneath it.

And it also has a handy piece of material that you can flip over your head to keep your neck warm when you're babywearing as there would be a little gap where the jacket would be opened a bit at the neck.

I'll look forward to sending it out and hearing your feedback and can arrange a pre-order before the month is out.

0 Comments

 
Pre-order open now for Lenny Lamb Softshell babywearing cover.

This can be used to keep your baby warm and dry.  You wear your own coat over it!

The benefits of a babywearing cover is that it can be worn by anyone who's carrying the baby, no need for a babywearing coat!

It can double up as a blanket in the car seat or buggy or as a mat to lay your baby on while you're out.

Suitable for use from wearing your newborn through to preschooler as there are toggle bungee cords to help get the right fit for you.

Easy on and off as it's worn similar to your buckle carrier.

Follow the link to pre-order yours now and it'll be shipped to you at the end of August so you'll have it in time for the school run!

Any questions at all, please get in touch

#EBW2021 Onbuhimo

8/5/2021

0 Comments

 
Onbuhimo is another variation of a meh dai, and originated in Japan.  
It is very like the Podaegi except it has 2 loops at each side at the bottom of the fabric for the long straps to thread through.  
New hybrid versions of this sling are called buckle onbuhimo.
I also have a wrap conversion reverse onbuhimo where the rings are positioned at the shoulder rather than the waist.

#EBW Meh Dai/Half Buckle

7/5/2021

0 Comments

 
Meh Dai/Half Buckle:

What are they?
A Meh Dai is a rectangular piece of material with 4 straps, one strap attached to each corner of the material.  The long straps are wrapped around your shoulders and torso and the short straps are tied around your waist.  A Half Buckle has a buckled waistband instead of tying with a knot

Popular carry?
You can use your Meh Dai/Half Buckle for front, hip and back carries.

What age are they suitable from?
Some are suitable from birth, others are suitable from 4 or 6mth.  The ones that are adjustable will usually be suitable from birth.

Pro's:
Easy to use and while it has a slight learning curve,, you can quickly get a perfect fit each time.

You can breastfeed/bottle feed in this sling.
They're made with woven wrap material, cotton or canvas so you have a range of options to choose from.
Can be bought with flat straps, padded straps or wrap style straps, so there's one to suit everyone.
Meh Dai and Half Buckle are very versatile as they can be worn on your front, hip or back.
Adjustable Meh Dai and Half Buckle are usually suitable from newborn.

Con's:
You need to re-tie it each time you put your baby in.
Some people don't like using knots to tie a carrier.
The shoulder straps are long so there's a risk they could fall into a puddle or dirt (I tuck them into my pocket but that can take a bit of practice).
Very few Meh Dai/Half Buckle are suitable from birth to toddlerhood, so you may have to buy the next size up when your baby reaches 18mths or so.

#EBW Soft Structured Carriers (SSC)

6/5/2021

0 Comments

 
What are they?
A Soft Structured Carrier (SSC) is a rectangular piece of material with a buckle waist and buckle shoulder straps.

Popular carry?
Front carry, back carry and some SSC's can also be used in a hip carry.  A limited number of ergonomic carriers also have the world facing option.

What age are they suitable from?
This varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer.  Some are suitable from birth and others are suitable from 4, 6 or 9mths.  Although some are marketed as suitable from birth, they may not be the best option in carrier for your newborn.  It's best to ask a  qualified babywearing consultant for advice.

Pro's:
Easy to use, but there's still a learning curve involved in so far as achieving optimal positioning and a comfortable fit for the wearer.
Handy for putting on when there are puddles/mud as the straps won't drag off the ground.

You can breastfeed/bottle feed in this sling.
Some SSC's are very adjustable and suitable from birth.
They're made in woven wrap fabric, cotton and canvas so there's something to suit everyone's taste.
There's a huge variety of SSC's, all with various options such as padded shoulder straps, firm, soft or no padding on the waist belt, hoods, headrests, straps that cross, rucksack style straps.
Come in a range of prices, some are quite reasonable.

Con's:
Some that are suitable from newborn require an infant insert which can be cumbersome and warm to wear.
Some people find it difficult to achieve a comfortable fit.  Quite often this can be rectified by having someone tweak the carrier for you.
Many brands sell sized carriers so you may need a baby size one that would do up to approx 18mths and then a toddler sized one for after that.
It's best to try on as wide a range of SSC's as possible as they all fit and feel different.
Some SSC's have straps where the webbing is sewn into the panel and use a ladder lock in place of buckles.  These SSC's cannot be used for carrying on your hip.
Some straps are single adjustable or dual adjustable.  Some people might find lack of mobility in their wrist or arm may make some straps difficult to tighten. 
Some SSC's are quite expensive
