Beachfront Baby Water Wrap (OT27) Check Availability

Overview:

If you need to babywear but you might get a little wet - this is very useful (as is the Mini Monkey Mini Sling, which is a very similar material).

It's great for carrying a baby when you've got older kids having splashy fun nearby, when you're paddling with older kids or in a shower. Now, that's a pretty niche list, but if one of those is you, this is very useful!

That's because other slings and baby carriers tend to absorb water (especially those made from bamboo or cotton) and so as well as that being uncomfortable after getting wet, they can sag if damp which can compromise safety.

This fabric is designed for poolside use and doesn't sag - and is super light and airy.

It's similar to a one way stretchy wrap, in that you can do either a pocket wrap cross carry (pre-tied) or a front wrap cross carry (tied around your child).*  Both instructions are below.  There's a little stretch on the width but none on the length.

*Or a million other carries, but keep it simple for now!
