Organic Sling Goodness by Parents of Invention
Parents of Invention is an amazing company. Founded in 2002 by a stay-at-home mom, Parents of Invention have given parents a voice for their creative ideas on how to improve products for babies and children.
I am totally smitten with their comfy, user-friendly Organic Baby Sling!
The Organic Baby Sling from Parents of Invention is made from certified organic materials. It is designed to hold infants from 6-35 pounds, but tested to hold much more! (although personally, I would be telling a 40 pound child to GET DOWN AND WALK!, but maybe that is just me…).
The Organic Baby Sling comes with an instruction booklet so that even the uninitiated can master the different carry positions. My three-year-old was especially excited about the positioning pillow that came with the Organic Baby Sling. He got eager to use it and asked if he could go take a nap. Hey, who am I to refuse?
I like it too! The pillow is the same color as the sling and has a darling little smiling baby face embroidered on it (the Parents of Invention Logo!). I have read before about the need for a positioning pillow when using a sling with younger infants, but I have never known a sling that comes WITH it’s own pillow! Thank you, Parents of Invention, for giving parents everywhere one less thing to worry about!
I also like that the Organic Baby Sling has quite a lot of fabric and can create a nice deep pocket to keep your child snuggled in safely!
I love baby wearing for so many reasons. It is great for bonding, especially if your baby is what the experts tactfully call “high needs”, like my first born who was pretty much angry if he wasn’t being held or nursed.
Using the Organic Baby Sling is like having an extra pair of hands. You can “hold” your baby without imparing your ability to do other tasks.
I always feel proud of myself when I wear my baby in a public place (like the mall), and I am able to avoid standing in line for elevators because I don’t have to deal with a cumbersome stroller!
There are many times while traveling that I find it easier to use a carrier than a stroller, even with an older toddler. It gives me much more mobility because I’m not limited to where wheels can travel.
I have always loved the idea of baby wearing. If you would like to try it and feel a little intimidated, check out informative web sites like www.wrapyourbaby.com or www.mamatoto.org. Each of these sites has a wealth of information for how to properly wear your baby in any type of carrier and in many different carrying positions.
The Organic Baby Sling is available for purchase at Babies R Us in your choice of “sage” or “black“. I’m digging the “sage”!
Parents of Invention also make a fabulous Mei Tai carrier that I LOVE (this is one of my go-to carriers for air travel!), and the Ultimate Baby Wrap, which my little niece LIVES in!
Parents of Invention is generously giving away one of their Organic Baby Slings to a Mom Most Traveled reader!
This is a retail value of $45, and a fabulous carrier for any baby or toddler!

Although I have amassed a few slings and carriers, I really would like a Mei Tai (so don’t enter me in this, since I have a homemade sling and homemade Maya Wrap-type thing). These look beautiful though! I hear ring slings are nice since you can adjust it to your body and they’re easier to get the baby in and out of.
18 October 2008, 5:01 am
I love the ultimate baby towel pouch! It looks so warm and cozy for baby!
18 October 2008, 5:13 am
I would like the organic baby sling in green or beige… they seem to help keep my hands a little freer and teh little one is still snuggled
18 October 2008, 10:10 am
I would love the Ultimate Baby Wrap! My son lives in his pouch sling, but is slowly outgrowing it, so this would be very useful. Thanks for pointing out another great company!

18 October 2008, 1:24 pm
I think I would get the most use out of the sling, but my second choice would be the ultimate baby towel pouch. After bathtime, I always wrap up baby in the towel, so this would sure come in handy.
18 October 2008, 2:53 pm

The organic baby sling. Its organic. And would love to carry my baby while still having my hands free to do stuff.

The organic baby towel pouch is great. Most parents are worried about dropping a wet slippery baby, and this would really help calm that fear.
22 October 2008, 7:34 pm
The baby towel pouch. You can never keep your baby warm enough after a bath.

My favorite is the organic baby sling. I have a SSC and a wrap already but I’ve always wanted to try a sling, I think it would be so much easier for quick hip carries and can easily travel with me. Plus I love that it’s organic!
