Caboo Organic, Drizzle (H28) Check Availability

Overview

A Caboo is a hybrid sling - a kind of cross between a wrap and a ring sling.  The position is very similar to the kind of carry you can achieve in a stretchy wrap or woven wrap (a three-layer carry called a 'pocket wrap cross carry) but instead of a knot that ties it all together it has two sets of rings on each side of a pre-made sling as adjusters, and a final separate piece that ties around to provide head support and stability.  

Like wraps and ring slings, it's really adjustable and made with high quality supportive fabric.  It's a great option for smaller babies too, as there are positioning options which really respect babies that are still very curled up from in utero.

The official instructions are here, however in our humble opinion they're not the best!
