  1. sling babies cry less

  2. sling babies learn more - and more rapidly - because they share your vantage point, see your daily activities and witness your social interactions closely

  3. in the sling, your baby feels the warmth of your body, hears your heartbeat and experiences your walking rhythm - familiar elements that help transition your baby comfortably to the outside world

  4. babywearing dads broaden and diversify the baby's experience with their different rhythms, activities and voice

  5. plus, free your hands and enjoy your outings more when you "wear, not wheel your baby"!
