New! A size S wraparound sling & baby wearing in the Alps

We have a limited edition of shorter wrap slings. The new size S is 4.30m natural, now why would you need a size S. Let's see:
That's us, baby wearing in the Alps at the Mer de Glace, a gigantic glacier (well, not as gigantic as when I went there as a child. Sadly, it's shrinking fast!) There are hundreds of steep steps to get you from where the train and the cabins leave you to the ice grotto. Way too many for a two-year-old! She was much safer in a wrap and fell asleep before we reached the bottom to wake up just as we got back to the top.
Wrapping a child on your back when you're both wearing warm clothes and standing on some narrow steps with a steep drop under us wasn't something I would recommend to our customers. I was glad that my niece had been worn from birth: she knew she was tired and that the wrap would allow her to catch a nap and cooperated fairly easily.
