Too Small? Your pouch sling will feel uncomfortably tight. Not just snug, but uncomfortable . Your sling will dig into baby's legs and you will find it incredibly difficult to get baby in.
Too Big? Baby will feel insecure, your legs will bump the baby as you walk and your back aches after a short while. You may find your sling slipping off your shoulder.
Just Right! Baby is held close & snug to your body. High and tight is ideal! Baby is sitting at or near your natural waist/belly button. Baby is ABOVE your hipbone. You may think it is too small, but unless it's virtually impossible to get baby in, you may just need more practice getting your baby in your pouch.

Water slings are suitable for the pool, beach, shower or everyday use. Key/toy loop included.
Solarveil (the material used for water slings) is no longer being made. This fabric, which is made in the USA, has been discontinued because it is not
profitable enough for the mill that makes it. We are actively looking for a replacement for our water slings. In the meantime, we have a very few Peekaru Ozone Cover Up's available for the summer of 2008. These make a great alternative, but once they are gone, these too, will no longer be available.
