Sling Spot is a small family baby carrier business with a strong social purpose, focusing on helping parents and their children stay close.

Our experts are here to help you!

We are looking forward to helping you and your family find the best carrier to suit your needs and have a range of covers and clothing to keep you warm and dry whatever the weather. For help with choosing or fitting your carrier, book an appointment  with one of our experts for online and in person support. We also hire out carriers and nappies so you can try before you buy.

We at Sling Spot pride ourselves on our personalised, expert service and our choice of comfortable and long lasting buckle carriers, wraparound slings and babywearing coats of high quality.

We believe that families thrive when children are held close; it helps to build happy brains. We’re delighted to have been shortlisted for several small business awards in our few years of running, and for Sling Spot to be featured as one of the 2019 Small Business Saturday UK winners at the House of Lords.

Fit Check

The British weather can be changeable even at the height of Summer, so we have a range of babywearing coats to keep you and your little one warm and snuggly as you explore the world together.  We also have a range of larger carriers so that even when little ones are nearing school age they can enjoy the benefit of hands free cuddles.

The Mamaruga Zensling and the Ergo Embraces are perennial bestsellers for those who want to go straight to a cuddly buckle carrier with their newborn. Our woven wraps are excellent options for multilayer carries and so versatile, and the half buckles are a superb alternative for those who prefer the simplicity of a panel carrier but love the feel of wraps.

Don’t be caught out in the rain! If you’re looking for a coat to keep you and your child dry outdoors, the Mamalila jackets are stylish, practical and adjust as your little one grows. They are available as either a raincoat or a lined soft-shell jacket, suitable for all weathers. The Wombat range of coats include the superbly bright and gorgeous Wombat Numbat Go and the cosy Wombat Wallaby!

Not to be forgotten is the range of waterproof sling covers. Perfect for those un expected showers.

Our experts can help you decide which carrier/coat is right for your family, drop in and see us or book an appointment either in person or online!

Looking for a gift for a special someone embarking on parenthood? Why not help them get off to a flying start with one of our carefully designed Babywearing Starter Kits, with a choice of stretchy wraps, and everything they could need to feel confident in their choice to keep their child close and build secure attachments.
