Often, when you are invited to be a part of the celebrations of a new born baby, the obvious gifts that you can think of are soft toys, candies and clothes for the baby. However, if you give some thought to the whole idea, there are many other unique gifts which you can choose from. You can select a gift which is not only unique but also useful for the baby and the parents of the newborn. One such gift is baby slings.
Now, if you have decided to gift a sling to the baby then how do you decide which is the best or the perfect one. To begin with, look for a sling that fits your budget as well as your need and lifestyle. There are different categories of slings which you can choose from. These are constructed slings, tube slings, front or pack carriers and fabric slings.
Tube Slings
These are among the most compact and simple but equally comfortable. With this sling, however, you trade adjustability with the ease of use that you can enjoy with this sling. If buying this sling, opt for a small one. Just check that it is easy to put on and also will fit the baby well. If yes, then you can be rest assured that it is the right one.
Constructed Slings
These slings are also a good buy as they are versatile, comfortable and equally adjustable. There are two varieties of slings in this category which you can choose from. These are over-the-shoulder baby holder and Maya wrap. The Maya wrap sling is not padded but is very comfortable and also can be adjusted easily and separately from top and bottom. The over-the-shoulder baby holder, on the other hand, is extra padded and best for carrying babies which are heavy.
