1. What are the benefits of unpadded vs. padded slings. TOP

Padded slings often don't let you pull the sling as taunt as most people like.  This prevents you from getting into the most comfortable breastfeeding position.  The padding also tends to be hot for mother and baby.  Unpadded slings are also able to be used as a cover while breastfeeding or a blanket.  Most padded slings have a closed tail, which means it is sewed shut and usually has a ring on the end, making it impossible to cover anything.  Both are just personal taste and different styles but they are great because they are slings.

2. Are slings, mei tais, wraps and pouches good for any size caregiver? TOP
Yes,  almost all our carriers are custom made.  Please read each company's description to see if your style carrier is custom made and contact us with the measurements to make a carrier designed for you.  If you have two people that are going to share a carrier you need to measure the larger/taller person.  If you have two very diferent sized people you might want to consider your own carriers.   Contact us for our multiple items discount. 

3. Is there a weight limit for the child in the carrier? TOP
Yes, we usually say that the child can be in the carrier until they are 30-35lbs or the caregiver feels uncomfortable.   I wear my 2 1/2 year old, 37lb daughter in my sling in a back carry for shorter outings.  The owner of Angel Baby wears her 33lb son in her mei tai on her back.  She has even worn him in a wrap on her back and her daughter in a sling in a cradle carry at the same time.  Our carriers are here for you to have extra arms.  If you can carry your child you can wear your child.  I find it easier to distribute the weight in a carrier, hands free, than to carry them in my arms.
