Caboo Lite, Blue (H30) 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. 

This 'lite' variant has a technical fabric which feels less 'heavy' than the traditional 100% cotton.

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