You may be thinking about summer holidays, and wondering how you will lug that pushchair around, and what you will do in the airport. Well, worry not – have a look at these special offer slings, and ditch the pushchair (for the most part, at least!)

Closer To You has some Hotsling pouches reduced to £16, which are perfect for both little babies, and older toddlers, who are at the “pick up, put down” stage. Easy to use, comfortable and the fact that they fold down small, means that Hotslings make a great holiday sling. If you live near Edinburgh, you can pop into their store and try slings out before you buy too!

If you want something that you can use for longer periods, or just prefer a two-shouldered carrier, Sling Jax are offering Kozy mei tais for just £55. Available in classic black, this carrier is fab for babies who like an upright carry position, and a great all round sling, for both mummy and daddy!

Over at Big Mama Slings, there is a beautiful Angelpack ECO buckle carrier, in “Hope” design, now with 15% off. This simple yet attractive carrier has a sleek design, featuring a non-detachable sleep hood and a one-part waist band. Suitable for use from around 5 months to 35lbs, the shorter body makes this an ideal carrier for petite/average sized parents.

The school summer holidays are almost upon us, and if you have a baby and a school-age child, you may be wondering how on Earth you will cope. One simple solution is to use a baby sling, so you can keep one of them close to you, whilst the older one plays. And as everyone loves a bargain, here are a few of the best ones we can find this week in the work of babywearing and slings…

Joey Slings have some clearance mei tais for an unbelievable £10! They have small faults on them (check the individual listings for the full details), and as such are non-returnable, but they are perfectly functional, and made to the same super comfy design as the usual Joey mei tais.

If you fancy a ring sling, SaSa Slings have a gorgeous Rockin’ Baby Ring Sling, with 27% off, down to £40. The pattern on this stunning sling is Orange & Ivory Tulips reversing onto Tiger with Brown Aluminum Rings, and it is made from 100% Cotton Sateen.

For those of you who would like something a little more personal, Calin Bleu are offering three unbleached cotton wraps for the price of two! The fabric is dyeable, so you can choose to leave it natural, or dye it any colour you like. At £77.90 for three wraps, you can either keep them all to go with different moods, or give them as gifts.

As always, if you come across any bargain slings, mei tais, wraps, or baby carriers, please do leave us a link below to let other babywearing parents know. Thanks x
