HugaMonkey Sling~ Review and Giveaway! Baby Bliss Celebration Day 10- Closed

HugaMonkey baby carrier
HugaMonkey is a company that makes basic, affordable, easy to use slings for babies. Their simple design requires no folding or adjusting, making them perfect for anyone interested in baby carrying without any fuss. Made of 100% cotton, they are sturdy enough to hold a child up to 30 pounds.

Baby slings are terrific for both babies and parents. For the baby, strong feelings of security develop when they are held close to a parent for long periods of time. They feel safe, and bond with the parent, and the long term effects of baby carrying for babies include higher levels of self-esteem and a well developed sense of confidence, higher scores on tests later in life, and generally greater likelihood of success in life. For a parent, benefits include the convenience of having your hands free for other activities, not having to carry extra gear (such as a car seat or stroller), and having your child conveniently close so you can check on, feed, cuddle and hug your little monkey easily, at any time. This encourages you to bond with your little monkey more, and feel the assurance of knowing he is safely within your reach. Too, it doesn't matter what activities you are doing (hiking, or taking the bus, or walking to the local market), the hugamonkey sling is an all-terrain way to keep your baby close.
Baby Sling
HugaMonkey slings are designed to be basic and convenient in all ways. They have a one piece, buckle-free design that requires no adjusting. The color choices are basic neutral colors, no patterns or frills, so they match with most clothing items and wardrobes. They are easy to store away (no bulk) and wash, and are fade and wrinkle resistant. Their design allows for ease of use, easy on and easy off. They are also offered in an organic cotton, non-bleached fabric. If you are looking for the simplest to use sling to try out baby carrying, HugaMonkeys may be the most convenient and affordable way to go.

  61. I LOVE baby wearing!!!!!!!! It keeps your hands free and baby close to you!!It is also safer. If you have a bulky car seat that you have to carry wih baby in it accross a parking lot that could be real dangerous. I have a month old and I LOVE baby wearing!! I would choose the Organic in Large or X-Lg(if available).

  109. My friend just had a baby and is trying to work all day without a good baby carrier so I'd love to win this for her! I don't think I could survive as a mom without having my baby close to me. Of course, my last were twins and I never did find a baby carrier for both at once! Except my arms of course. I'm not sure what color and size she would want but I like the Aqua in medium. Thanks

  110. I love carrying my son in a sling becuase it keeps my hands free. It also keeps him close to me and has him less fussy.
