Quick Overview

Peanut Shell Sling - Black

Product Description

The 'Peanut Shell' is the ultimate functional, funky, fun baby carrier! There are no straps, clips, belts or adjustments necessary, making the Peanut Shell fuss-free and quick-n-easy to use. It is a pouch-style carrier that is suitable for premmies to toddlers up to 16kg.

The Peanut Shell provides a snugly cradle for your baby or toddler and a comfortable hands-free carry for you. The Peanut Shell pouch can be used in a variety of positions including:
-        cradle (suitable for newborn breastfeeding)
-        tummy-to-tummy
-        kangaroo carry (upright facing out)
-        hip carry
-        back carry

The Peanut Shell is a great 'throw-n-go' pouch - an absolute favourite with many busy parents! It's compact enough to carry in your nappy bag or stroller and can double up as a great changing mat, stroller cover, baby blanket or breastfeeding cover. There is even a little pocket for carrying essentials and a ring to attach a baby toy or dummy.

Peanut Shell Sizing
The correct fit of the Peanut Shell pouch should feel pretty snug. If you are new to sling wearing you may even think it is too small! With the right size and with your baby inside the pouch it will rest in line with (or above) your hip bones. Keep in mind that the "correct" size is what works for you and your baby. Most people can wear 2 different sizes-as you can in clothes.

To find your size take your chest measurement (above your bust right under your armpits) and shoulder to hip measurement (across from one shoulder to the opposite hip bone) to determine the right size for you. When taking both measurements give yourself a couple inches of wiggle room for added measure. The chart pictured will help you find your size.

Consider your height and torso length as well when ordering. If you have a long torso, you might want to order a larger size. If your torso is shorter, consider a smaller size. Your Peanut Shell size will most likely be what your fitted t-shirt size would be.

Some notes on Sizing:
Please keep in mind that the baby will look kind of squished in the cradle carry - this is a good thing and not an indicator that the sling it too small: As long as baby seems content they are not too squished, it just looks that way to us.

Pouch too small:
+ It is next to impossible to get your baby into the pouch
+ You are uncomfortably tight with baby inside
+ You feel like you can't breathe with the sling on

Sling too big:
+ Baby rides too low, below your hip bones
+ Your baby does not feel secure and snug in the pouch

Correct Fit: (as pictured)
+ You and baby are comfortable                                           
+ Baby is in line or above your hip bone
+ Baby feels snugly supported in the pouch
