New Native Baby Sling
Simplest baby carrier
Like most Americans, I hauled my firstborn around in his
carseat/infant carrier. Never again. For my second child, I
researched slings extensively, and bought a New Native. It's simpler
than any other sling, including the Maya sling Cool Tools reviewed.
New Native is just one piece of fabric, hemmed and stitched into a
big pocket. That means no adjustment rings or buckles to come loose
or fiddle with. Accordingly, it's sized. I wear a medium. My
husband, who is much bigger than I am, wears my (medium) sling as
well -- there are three sizes, small, medium, and large, and the
medium fits a pretty wide range of people.
I've slung my second baby since day one. She has taken countless
naps in it. The sleek, professional look of the New Native means
that a lot of people take it for fashion. While my daughter was
small, they didn't even know I had a baby on. I wore it to the
office and even taught class with it.
At nine months I can count on one hand the number of times my
daughter has ridden in a stroller. Everywhere I go people who see it
wish they had known about it when they were carrying babies, and ask
me where I got my sling: New Native.
