Rockin' Baby Sling Review And Giveaway

If you've noticed on my blog recently, I have really been curious about baby slings and pouches. I have wanted to know more about them, the material they are made with, the comfortability, the color and pattern choices, etc. Rockin' Baby Slings is in a league of their own when it comes to color and pattern choice. They also have a great selection of ring slings and pouches.

I received their baby pouch in "raspberry beret", if the name doesn't evoke memories of driving around in your car and listening to Prince, I don't know what does. This is an example of how this brand is making their way in the sling world. The pouch is gorgeous! The rich jewel tones are bold and fun! Fabulous, bold patterns with whimsical naming thrown in. I guess you could say, I'm smitten.

The pouch and the sling are different in that there are differences in adjustment. The pouch I received is one solid piece that goes around the body. There are four different sizes that can be made out of it with hidden zippers that I found to be unique to the Rockin' pouches. You can fold the material and zip it up and it can shorten the pouch. The material can then be covered up so that you can't see the zippers. Most pouches don't have any adjustment ability to them. The material is wide enough to rest across your shoulders and back very comfortably! I loved that aspect of their pouch!

The sling is a ring sling and is fully adjustable. The materials come in a variety of colors, are generally reversible, and come in organic for those conscientious mama's out there. The slings and pouches are high quality materials and well made. They are made locally in Los Angeles, CA and not made abroad. The materials are even sourced locally. Way to give back to the community! They also offer a page to show you how to put on the sling or the pouch and how to adjust it.

Mod Mum Review and Giveaway *CLOSED*

Modmum carries a line of beautiful baby slings and I was so excited when they agreed to do a giveaway with me! I was struck by the fun, modern look of the slings as well as their prices. They offer a few designs that are reversible and neutral, which was a big thing for me. When you are having a baby and not finding out the sex, or just trying to plan ahead, you want some modern, neutral choices to choose from. I found that Modmum had a great assortment of colors and pattern choices.

Their sizing is actually very accurate. I was a little worried that it may not be but, when I tried on the sling and put the baby in, it was no problem. Their slings are a pouch style so they are not adjustable. It's very important that you go by their sizing guide or you'll end up with something too small or too big and it won't be as comfortable and could even be dangerous.

I chose Emily and was very pleased with the colors and material. It's very sturdy feeling but, it's light. I've never used a sling or pouch before so I needed a good guide. Modmum has an excellent how to page! They link to videos that show you exactly how to put it on, put the baby in, and take the baby out. They also show pictures of different holds that you can do with their slings. I was a little intimidated and wondered if I could get the baby in and keep it in without harm.

I want to welcome all the blog party people to this giveaway! Go check out all the other great giveaways going on at the blog party. Run. The party ends May 10, 2009.
