These water sling baby carriers are a must have for vacations & the summer! 100% polyester jersey lends breath-ability with just the right amount of stretch. Sewn by work-at-home-moms in the San Antonio, Texas area, much care & attention to detail has gone into sewing these slings for safety and beauty. We use only small SlingRings brand aluminum rings in the construction of our slings (small ensures the fabric doesn't slip). Each sling comes with an instructional booklet with photos to help you use your sling. We also have a YouTube channel and you can find our basic heart-to-heart hold video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qfuCoBIYeE
Petite slings best fit adults who wear a size XS or SM shirt. (One size slings fit most adults who wear a size S, M or L shirt) Our slings are 30 inches wide which is the perfect width to hold baby close & comfortably, safely.
Petite slings are 66" long.
One size slings are 76" long.
XL slings are 86" long.
These water baby carriers are a must have for vacations and hot weather! Their 100% polyester jersey lends breathability with just the right amount of stretch. The fabric feels like a lightweight, silky swimsuit which keeps the sling light in the water and lets it dry quickly. With a Beachfront Baby Sling, baby can be worn in the shower, at the beach, at the water-park or in the pool. The slings hold babies from 8 – 30 pounds and are machine washable. Beachfront Baby Slings are fully adjustable ring slings made with SlingRings brand aluminum rings. Available in 14 fun colors! Due to variations in monitors as well as slight variations in dye lots, some colors may look different in person than they do in our photos.
Unlike other water baby carriers, Beachfront Baby Slings contain no neoprene or buckles- just a simple piece of cloth with 2 rings sewn onto one end. The opposite ends of the sling fit through the rings, much like a belt buckle, creating a pocket that holds baby close to the wearer’s body. A photo instruction booklet with babywearing safety information and tips is included with each sling. A sling-style carrier places baby in the optimal position- high on the wearer’s chest and close enough to kiss. This is extremely important in any water environment.
Beachfront Baby® Carriers are compliant with the CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008). Our wraps & slings have passed voluntary ASTM (American Society for Testing & Materials) safety standard F2907-14b testing. (This standard was passed into law and becomes mandatory in early 2018.) We are a proud member of the *BCIA (Baby Carrier Industry Alliance) and when you buy one of our carriers, you can feel secure knowing that the safety of your baby is at the top of our priority list. (*Membership in the BCIA does not constitute compliance with regulatory standards nor any laws. BCIA is a trade organization and offers no compliance certificates.)
The rings that we use are made of anodized aluminum which increases their resistance to corrosion & have been tested and approved by the manufacturer for use in chlorinated water. If you wear your sling in chlorinated or salt water, simply rinse it with tap water afterwards and this will help prolong the life of both the fabric & rings.
The lightweight performance athletic fabric is perfect for hot weather babywearing with babies from birth to approximately 30lbs. 100% polyester does NOT include sun protection factor. Please use care & common sense when taking your baby out in the sun or water. Don’t do anything with your baby in the wrap that you wouldn’t do with him/her in your arms. By purchasing a Beachfront Baby Wrap you agree to release Beachfront Baby LLC & its members and/or retailers from any & all liability for any injury which might result from the use of a wrap. The wearer is responsible for using the wrap safely & correctly.
