All Peanut Shell products are Formaldehyde-free, making them so safe for baby
Our Peanut Shell ® baby slings are designed to fit the person wearing the sling. Sizing is based on your overall upper body size, torso length, personal preference and height. You will want the baby sling to fit snug but feel comfortable. With baby inside the sling, the baby should ride in line with your hip bones or above. As your baby grows you will use the variety of carrying positions all in the same sling.
The most important key to successful use of the Peanut Shell ® baby sling is to first get the right size. Keep in mind that that even with all of our guidance the "correct" size sling is what safely works for you and your baby. Most people can wear 2 different sizes in our baby slings-as you can in clothes. There are many factors that affect sizing so don't hesitate to email us prior to ordering to let us help you find the size that will work best for you and your baby.
If you have a Peanut Shell ® baby sling that is too big your baby will not feel secure and will ride too low on your body (lower than your hip bones). This is not only unsafe for your child but may also lead to back and/or shoulder discomfort. If the baby sling is too small you won't even be able to get the baby in or you will feel like you can't breathe. Keep in mind that the correct fit of the Peanut Shell ® baby sling should feel snug with baby inside BUT you should be comfortable. If you are new to sling wearing, with the correct snug fit, you may even think it is too small.
