Close And Cozy, The Baby Is Take Care Of

15th August 2009 by Babies No Comments


All through the ages there has been some form of baby slings that have been used to carry the baby tied to the body of the baby carer. The baby sling is basically a piece of cloth. Pouch sling is the most simplest of all slings. It is just a piece of cloth with a pouch that is sewn into shape. Rings, buckles, clips, zippers and snaps are used to adjust the size and shape of the pouch. The pouch is then slipped through the head as well as the shoulder creating the seat for the child. The ring sling is also a piece of cloth sewn to two metal rings, usually made of aluminum. It forms a loop of cloth through which the head and an arm of the wearer is slipped forming a pocket in which the child is seated. Both infants and toddlers can be easily carried using the ring slings.

Wrap, wraparound slings or wraparound are long fabric that wraps the baby with the wearer securely when tied. The baby or the toddler is comfortably seated on the back, front or the hip according to the convenience of the wearer. Wraps are of two kinds. There is the stretchy and the woven. Jersey or interlock knits are used in the stretchy wrap. The baby can be easily carried in this making it more popular. The woven wrap makes use of woven natural fabric. A number of materials can be used such as wool, linen, silk and hemp though cotton is the most used. They are also attractive in their patterns and colors. A simpler form of wrap is the cloth used to tie the baby to the wearer with the cloth knotted at one end together making a slinging wrap. Almost all cultures have some form of wraps. The Chinese use a cloth almost square shaped with parallel unpadded straps from the corners and they call them mei tai. The Korean podaegi is almost the same except that the fabric is larger and rectangular in shape with a longer strap. Other variations are the parka or amauti of the Inuits, the Japanese onbuhimo, the Chinese bei beis and Hmong carriers.

Stroller is yet another popular baby carrier and is in the form of seat on wheels. There are many models and designs in which they come. There are the Chicco Trevi Strollers, Inglesina Strollers, Graco Strollers, Maclaren Strollers, Kolcraft Strollers, Schwinn Strollers, Rock Star baby strollers and Stokke Strollers.
