Raves for the UpMama from the Doctor who wrote the book on Babywearing - literally!
"I love your slings and I want people to know about them... I have just tried the UpMama sling and wow, this is one fantastic carrier! Here is why I love the UpMama: First of all, this is a simply beautiful carrier... stunning fabrics, well-made and very streamlined. Secondly, this sling offers the benefits of the pouch design but has the flexibility of a ring sling. My newborn daughter fits nicely in the deeppouch and I am able to breastfeed discretely. When she is done, I can wear her upright in the tummy to tummy position by tightening the top rail. Because of the excellent shoulder design, I can comfortably wear my 22 month old, 28 pound toddler... I often pop into a store with nothing but the baby in the sling with my wallet, keys and cell phone zipped securely in the pocket. I highly recommend this beautifully made, brilliantly designed UpMama sling."

"Two baby carriers collide with the UpMama Hybrid Sling - it's a pouch and a ring sling all in one! Where pouches aren't adjustable and ring slings lack the curve and seat of a pouch, the UpMama has it got it down...I think this is the perfect carrier for beginning babywearers and veterans as well. I can achieve a very nice tummy to tummy hold that feels nice and secure as it should be. Such a great sling for getting baby in & out quickly, and beautiful to wear for a nice night out...it comes already threaded for you and ready to wear!" -Steph
"The UpMama Hybrid has the simplicity of a pouch, but it’s adjustable like a ring sling, which means post-partum weight loss won’t get in the way of carrier comfort and, more often than not, two parents can share one sling. I think it’s a perfect introduction to babywearing... This carrier (I have the Raspberry Red one) gets admired from near and far whenever my daughter and I take it out on the town" -Stephanie
"Not only is this carrier beautiful, it is extremely comfortable. My baby weighs almost 20 lbs., and I've got back problems, so comfort is a top priority for me! The shoulder of it is very comfortable...it didn't "dig in" anywhere like I sometimes find my regular pouch sling doing. I was easily able to get my baby in and out of it quickly, and found it very easy to adjust. The fabric has just a slight bit of stretch to it, adding to the ease of getting baby in there comfortably without sacrificing the support. No sagging here! The tail also has a zippered pocket to keep toys, keys, cell phone, etc. in. Perfect!" -Kate
"It is extremely easy to use and the perfect “beginners” sling if you will. What I love about the Upmama baby sling is that the pouch is built into the sling so basically you just pop your baby into the deep pocket, adjust if needed and off you go. The rings sit nice and high on your shoulder and there was virtually no slippage with the fabric and rings....I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this sling to a new mother or someone who is interested in baby-wearing for the first time." -Nadia

"The UpMama sling will be that perfect carrier for a lot of families. The seam on the pouch makes it easier to position baby’s bottom in the right place. This means the carry will be more comfortable and more ergonomically correct for both of you. Because the bottom rail on the UpMama sling curves up, creating a pre-formed pouch, wearing your baby safely is easy. There is automatically a little “seat” and a layer of fabric between you and the baby so baby stays securely attached to mama...UpMama is ideal for parents looking for one comfortable carrier to wear for almost any occasion, fold and fit into a bag, and feel confident using even as a novice." -Candace
What Our Customers Say:
"The Easiest, Most Comfortable Ring Sling You Will Ever Use!"
"They are very well made, and are very comfy for me and my 18 month old/ 23lb daughter...I find the cotton sateen has the perfect amount of give (not too stretchy, just right!) and threads really easily though the rings without slipping once she's in. The pouch seat really keeps my daughter snug, and I never need to re-adjust this sling once it's on properly. I sincerely wish I'd had one of these from the moment she was born!"
"I don't know if I can say enough about these. I have not been so comfortable using a ring sling in a long time. My son is 15 months and 25 pounds, heavy but zero pressure points on my shoulder"
"Beautiful. Comfy, comfy shoulder...with a 20lb babe! Trim pouch fit but still able to get the perfect ring sling fit. This carrier is just spot on. I am done trying any other ring sling, pouch, or hybrid...Without a doubt, try an UpMama."
"All the things that can be a problem with a normal ringsling like seat slipping under kiddos bum, shoulder that is hard to get right, fabric that is to bulky rings etc , is solved in this sling."
"It distributes the weight perfectly and the stretch sateen is not only beautiful but so comfortable. It really adjusts easily and hugs your body better than regualr cotton IMO."
"This is my favourite sling ever and I will get more if I have more kids as her design choices are so fantastic."
"I have a lot of experience with carriers, and this one is one of the best. It holds my newborn baby in perfectly like a pouch, but is very adjustable. The material is very soft and gently supportive. The shoulder is narrower so I can still move my arm, but made in such a way that the weight is evenly distrubuted and I felt no pressure points while carrying my daughter. The sling is very well made with a nice big pocket on the tail that zips. I love this sling, it has now become one of my favorites!"
