It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of babywearing. I’ve worn Sam from when he was teeny tiny, and some days it was the only thing that would make him happy/ sleep/ not fuss! Plus, babywearing ensures that you are always close to your sweet little one. That’s probably my very favorite part. I like to have easy access to unlimited kisses. ;)
I always recommend a baby carrier to my pregnant friends, and I’d have to say it’s one of my top essentials for a baby! I have a few favorites, but I recently tried out a new one that I’m loving: SlingThings. It’s unique in that it slips on- no complicated tying and wrapping necessary. You literally slip it on like a shirt. SO easy. So simple. And it’s comfortable! I’m happy to also report that it is baby-approved. ;) I’m so happy that Sam isn’t too old to be worn still (and isn’t too heavy either!), and I definitely plan on wearing the new baby alllll over the place. Pretty excited for that. :)
I’m excited to have teamed up with SlingThings to give one away to one of you, my lovely readers! I think you’ll love it as much as I do! :) Just leave a comment telling me your favorite part of babywearing.

Awesome giveaway! Just had a baby (like a week ago!) so I can’t wait to babywear out and about. :)
I’m halfway through my 1st pregnancy, and I can’t wait for baby snuggles and “easy access to baby kisses!” This carrier looks awesome, comfy and soo simple to use!!!
Baby wearing is the best! My little still loves her Happy Wrap, but the Tula is next on our list! It makes things so much easier to wear her since I already have a 3 year old!
Still only a baby in progress over here but have been on the hunt for the perfect baby wearing “system” that doesn’t involve doing some serious origami on myself while trying to calm a crying baby. This looks so simple!

We’re still trying for baby number one, but I like the idea of being able to clean, cook, do dishes, etc. all while holding baby close. Happy baby=Happy mama. :)
I also love babywearing! I am trying out the backpack style right now but my daughter hates it! My favorite thing is that she gives me numerous hugs while she is being carried (in the front, facing in). My heart melts, of course!
That carrier looks cool and so simple. I use the Ergo 360 but have to do acrobats to clip it in the back by myself!!!
Here’s a tip I learned!! If you loosen the shoulder straps a little before buckling the back clip and tighten the shoulder straps after, it makes it so much easier!
I love babywearing!! My lil 9 month old still prefers it over everything! Not only is it a great workout (20lber over here), but it gives me the feeling of keeping her safe!! Love your blog and thank you for sharing so much of your life with us!
I loved wearing my daughter when she was younger. Best part is that you can kiss the top of their heads nonstop!
i love babywearing! I love the closeness and comfort it bring to myself and my baby! Now that I’m 6 months pregnant and my daughter is getting bigger the extra weight it’s a little too much for my body to handle. But I know I am going to love it even more when I have my new little boy and still have a toddler to run after.
I love it because my daughter loves it!! <3
Love how easy this one is! We’re expecting our first little one in February, and I’m already planning on baby wearing to keep baby close and cozy during the cold months! ;)
Favorite thing about baby wearing? Getting things done!
When he was younger, my baby wanted to be held constantly. My wrap saved my sanity, although I was never good at figuring it out and didn’t use it as often as I could’ve. This sling looks so much easier.
Hands free definitely – especially when you have more than one. I’m done with babies, but my sister just had a little boy on Friday. I’d love to win this for her.
I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I cannot wait for “easy access to baby kisses!” and constant snuggles! :) Thank you for hosting such a great giveaway.
I have never tried baby wearing, so can I say what I *think* my favorite thing will be? I think I will love having my hands free to hold my big boys hand and still play with him, while keeping the new bebe close.
My favorite part of babywearing is the fact that no matter how worked up my son and I are we both immediately start relaxing because of our proximity to each other. I actually miss carrying him when my husband wants to babywear! xoxoxo I love our time together
I haven’t tried it yet but can’t wait to!
I’m 4 months into my pregnancy but can’t wait to find out how amazing it will be to carry my baby <3
What a neat carrier! I’ve been part of a babywearing club since I began nannying for twins. I’ve tried soooo many different styles of carrier and never seen one like this. Babywearing is absolutely essential with twins! Bonus if you can get both on at the same time! ????
Let me just start by saying baby wearing has saved my life. Haha really. My sanity too.
My baby is now 14 months and I am still breastfeeding exclusively.. Idk if that’s why she is so attached to me or if it’s the fact I am a SAHM and it’s just us all day. But she wants to be held all the time. When we are out she prefers me to hold her instead of dad or anyone else. On our outside adventures it’s the same. I mean I love that she wants me all the time. But without the option of being able to carry her I would be a crazy lady by now. Now, our wrap just doesn’t give her enough security so I’ve been looking for a new one to try. I love I can get things done while still giving her what she wants. (Being held by mommy) and I don’t get completely exhausted swinging her from hip to hip ????
I love that it gives my arms a break from carrying around heavy babies all the time!
My 21 month old refused to be carried in anything- tried slings and ergo baby to no avail! So happy that my one month old loves to be carried and snuggled! He loves the solly baby wrap, but I’d love something easier for when we’re out and about. This carrier looks amazingly simple to get on and off quickly :)
My little guy is a snuggle bug this would be amazing for us! We could snuggle and get things done ???????? win win!!!
I love that wearing my little one let me soothe her with literally nothing else would.
I really hate to be this person, but it looks like his legs are dangling here. The fabric should be spread to the back of his knees to prevent hip damage. ????
I did notice that and quickly remedied the situation! Thanks for sharing! :)

I love wearing my 2 1/2 year old Sawyer! We hike a lot and travel a bit so my trusty Ergo is my go-to every time. I love having him close for those little moments in his carrier because he rarely sits still nowadays. Plus, it get to sneak in a few extra kisses along the way. I love the bond it’s given us too, because on tired and fussy days he can be close to me while I cook or run errands. Best invention ever!!! I love the look and feel of the new one you are wearing!! Thank you for sharing!
I have a two week old, and I have to agree with you-my favorite part of baby wearing is the kissablity :)
The best part is being able to get stuff done without wondering what trouble my munchkin is getting in to, all while stealing kisses from him!;)<3
i’d love a no-wrap baby carrier for my busy toddler! Love the cozy-ness of carrying the baby esp in busier places!
I love being able to be hands free and also having my babe close to me. :)
I’m 17weeks but excited to have the baby close and be able to do things around the house. :)
I have a 4 month old and love that my sweet baby still falls asleep when I wear him! It’s the best!!
I love the ability to multitask!
I love the bond that I have wearing my baby. It’s such a special (&short!) season I’m thankful to have him close.
One of my favorite parts is getting a few things done around the house and having my hands free to do that:) Im expecting our 3rd in Nov. and the weather here in WI (and the being stuck indoors most of those months) doesn’t allow for a lot of outdoor baby wearing but this would be a great excuse to head to Target to break up those cold months;)
One more chance:)

Baby wearing allows you to use both your hands for once!
I haven’t actually started baby-wearing yet as my little princess isn’t due until November but I KNOW i’ll just love it. The thing I’ll love the most is the closeness. Being able to smell her little perfect head and give kisses whenever I want. <3 Can't wait! Would love to win this carrier!
I love baby wearing and especially with my 21 pound 9 month baby… It helps give my arms a Break! The snuggles and kisses aren’t bad, either!
LOVE baby wearing and my baby loves to be worn. Best part of baby wearing is being able to have your hands free as well as the snuggles!
