Joovy is one of my favorite family owned baby gear companies. Last year we featured their Tricycoo on our Holiday Gift Guide, and it’s still a favorite that’s used today. More recently, I reviewed their Joovy Groove Stroller, which is one of the easiest strollers we’ve ever used. Because it is baby madness around here with so many of my friends expanding their families, and many readers too, I wanted to feature a gift item perfect for the mom-to-be.
I have partnered with Joovy to bring you this review. This is not a paid post. Product was received. All opinions are my own, and may differ from yours.
TheBabaSling is hammock style baby carrier that “is perfectly shaped to support a newborn’s developing spine while providing essential closeness and bonding between parent and baby.” It can be worn on the right or left shoulder and offers five carrying positions + two breastfeeding positions. Below are a few additional features:
- One size fits all with fully adjustable straps and dual railings
- Shoulder pad is extra-padded for comfort
- Padded infant head support and railing
- Easy quick-release buckle will not wake-up sleeping babies
- Second safety buckle for added security
- Made of 100% cotton, machine washable (hang to dry)
TheBabaSling is ideal for babies 0-2 years of age, and who weigh between 7.7 and 33 lbs. Many baby carriers can be so complex, but Joovy makes theBabaSling simple to use yet safe, as seen in this quick video below:
TheBabaSling featured above is in Joovy’s limited edition “Daydream” print. It’s offered in 6 other colors, as well as an Organic cotton option. It was also selected as Babble’s 2012 favorite baby carrier, and has many other impressive awards to boot. TheBabaSling sells for $119 at Joovy.com. It’s also available at retailers like ToysRus and buybuybaby, and is currently on sale (at the time of this review) for just $79.99 on amazon.com
If you’re searching for the perfect holiday gift for a new mom, I recommend checking out theBabaSling by Joovy.

This looks like a great sling. I wish I had a wrap when my baby was younger. Baby wearing is very popular and if you have a needy baby it might be the only way a new mom will get anything else done.

There really are so many baby carriers out there, it’s hard to know which one to get these days. Great review:)
