| Slings | Slings are a baby carrying device comprised of a piece of cloth. The ends of the cloth are tied or linked together, sometimes with metal rings on one end, and “slung” over the shoulder. A hammock-like bag supports the baby at the wearer’s waist. Some slings are simply one piece of cloth, whereas others have a more structured pouch with straps to sling over the shoulder.

| Soft-Structured Baby Carriers | There are two categories of soft-structured baby carriers. One is less structured than the other. The less structured is tied to the wearer’s waist. The more structured version has padded shoulder straps, safety buckles and is easy to adjust. Both types of soft-structured baby carriers support the baby in an upright position.
