Sling Meets & Libraries

BWI provides Sling Meets, informal, peer-to-peer support gatherings facilitated by experienced volunteers who are passionate baby wearers themselves.

Sling Meets are a place where you can:

  • Learn from other caregivers and share your experiences in a supportive environment.

  • Try a range of carrier styles using your baby or demonstration dolls.

  • Rent a sling from your local sling library.

Sling library

Our Sling Meets feature an integrated Sling Library service, allowing you to explore and try out various carrier styles.

If you find a sling you love, you can rent it on the spot for a small fee, take it home, and try it for a full month. This service helps you ensure the perfect fit for both you and your baby before committing to a purchase.

Our extensive library is categorized to meet all needs:

  • Stretchy Wraps

  • Woven Wraps

  • Ring Slings

  • Meh Dais

  • Soft Structured Carriers (SSC)

Safety is paramount when carrying your baby. Please ensure you review and follow babywearing safety guidelines thoroughly before using any carrier or sling.
