💛 Babies change fast: What works at 6 weeks might not work at 6 months. Hire as you go!

💛 Going on holiday: If you’re only planning to babywear on holiday, a short term hire works out cheaper

FAQ

How do I hire a sling by post?

Simply browse our online inventory, reserve the carrier you’d like, and we’ll post it out to you. Your hire period begins when it arrives. When you’re done, just send it back by recorded post on or before your return date.

How long can I keep a sling?

As long as you like! Most carriers are charged at £8 per fortnight, so you just pay for the time you have it. Stretchy wraps are available for a flat hire period of 8 weeks for £10.

What do I do when I've finished with the sling?

Simply return it back to the address provided – postage is at cost usually around £6. We ask you return it tracked for peace of mind and insurance. 

I'm new to babywearing, is postal hire still right for me?

Yes! We’re always on hand to help via message, and we have a great range of video resources to support you with fitting and carrying. If you’d prefer more hands-on guidance, you’re also welcome to come along to one of our sling meets or book a private consultation.
