Important Directions
• Always monitor your baby in the sling. It is an aid only and does not replace
your own attention or responsibility.
• Be aware of baby’s temperature as they will need less clothing while in the
sling and against your body. This is one of best carriers for moderating
temperature as you can easily create an air gap by moving the carrier across
your body.
• Make sure you can see baby’s face at all times. Specifically do not cover them
with a blanket or clothing. Do not allow them to turn inwards with their face
buried against the sling or your body.
• Check that their airway is clear and that they are not overly bent or slumped.
You should be able to fit a finger under their chin.
• If possible practice first with a doll or teddy so you will be calm and confident
to position your baby. Always trust your instincts and if in doubt contact us,
your stockist or a local baby wearing professional for advice.
• Keep this brochure. In the future you may wish to pass on your sling to a
friend and this brochure contains important instructions.
Natures Sway baby slings are designed to carry your baby
or toddler just as you would naturally. Slings take the strain
off your arms and distribute the weight. They provide multiple
carry positions and can be used with infants from new3born up
to toddlers even 233 years old.
Please read all of the following instructions.
Features
• Suitable for newborns to 2-3 year olds.
• Fits adults of all sizes.
• Easily adjustable for use from the diagonal cradle position for newborns,
through to the hip-seat position for infants.
• Wool padding on the shoulder and side rails makes the sling more compact,
comfortable and sustainable. Wool distributes heat naturally while the flat side
rail supports baby's head and back (as recommended by Consumer safety
guides released 2011).
• Contrasting coloured line of stitching, printed and a sewn-in label to show
you how to position your newborn in the diagonal cradle position.
• Specially shaped body of the sling keeps baby’s back straight even if you
miss-align their spine to the diagonal stitching. Note: a gentle curve is quite
safe and normal but always re-position baby if they become significantly bent
or slumped.
• Two adjuster clips at the back with safety webbing allow you to adjust the
sling whilst wearing it.
• Adjust the side rails separately to get better positioning for baby.
