Wearable infant carriers
Baby slings are cloth carriers that hold an infant against the wearer's body, leaving hands free.
The fabric wraps around one or both shoulders and creates a pouch or seat for the baby.
Parents use them for convenience and closeness: She carried the newborn everywhere in a baby sling.
