Baba Sling Japan

Baba Slings were designed by Mother of 5, Shanti McIvor, who whilst pregnant with her second child, did a lot of research on the subject of "attachment parenting" and "baby wearing". After learning of the immense benefits of carrying Baby, she started working on a design for a baby sling. And carried her own baby in the very first Baba Sling, and then after much interest from the general public she decided to start selling them at the local Eumundi Markets. Who would have thought that 11 years on Baba Slings is now the Top Selling baby sling in Japan and sought after the world over.

Baba Slings allow you several different comfortable positions to cater for your baby's changing moods and needs throughout the day . With discreet hands free breast feeding, you can have the life you want and remain connected to your little one as you go. They are fantastic for jet setters, public transport and parents at home with a family to run.

Baba Slings are for easy wearing with a specially imported Buckle and comfortable padding, + a safety strap & buckle. They are fully adjustable for both Mum and Dad, and have a double strapping system, for greater security. By putting no stress on baby's developing hips & spine you can have peace of mind that you are doing the very best for your Baby.

And not only that, they come in a range of colourful patterns and funky designs to suit all tastes, no wonder a mother recently said that she found her husband sexy when he wore the Baba Sling!

Baba Slings are Fully Adjustable, this is a very important point when looking at purchasing a Baby Sling or Baby Carrier. It means that not only can both Mum and Dad use it without having to purchase 2 different Slings, but also as Baby grows into Toddlerhood, the Baba Sling can be adjusted out to fit. Another important point is that Baba Slings can be tweaked to find the most comfortable fit whilst wearing baby.

Our Story

“Necessity is the Mother of all Inventions”, well so the saying goes. However in the case of Baba Slings, “Invention” may not be quite the right word, as slings and baby carriers have been used for centuries. In fact for almost as long as humans have had to carry their young. In the case of Baba Slings, its conception began in 1999 whilst pregnant with my second child, Sai.

After looking at upright carriers, asymmetrical style slings, wrap arounds, backpacks, etc, I wanted to create a unique sling that was practical, easy to use, comfortable, multi-positioning, with a touch of style, and an extensive range of different fabrics for people to express their individuality. I wanted to create something that I would personally be able use, which I have done so with my subsequent 3 other children. With Breastfeeding in mind, I set out on my mission to provide people with high quality baby slings.

Our Name
The name Baba Slings came to me after travelling to different parts of the world and noticing how universal the word Baba was! Of course there is the obvious, Baba meaning Baby, but then in Russia it means Grandmother, in India, Grandfather, father or even teacher, and Father in parts of Africa. The list goes on. What a perfect name for a Baby Sling, a word that has so many connections to family in many cultures around the world.

Our Logo
The Baba Slings logo today is our 3rd attempt. And this one, we are very happy with! Designed by close friend Jacqui Rayner. It was inspired by a photo taken on the beach of a Mother bending down to kiss her baby in the Baba Sling. With the sweep of her hair, and the Baba Sling, it almost looked like a yin and yang symbol. The little straps at the top of the Sling, look similar to leaves. We wanted the nurturing nature of Baba Slings to be evident in the logo.

Our Company
Baba Slings is very much a friend/family operated Company. For example all the photos on our website and promotional material were taken by a friend, of family and friends. We like to keep it in the family!!

The response to Baba Slings has been immense! With people contacting us from all over the globe daily we are very excited about the future developments!!
