Ella was ten pounds when she was born and I was 5'3 115 pounds. We had a crummy baby bjorn rip-off kind of a front carrier and it hurt. Bad. Knowing how important it is for babies to be carried I did it despite the pain. That was when we were living in the outskirts of Barcelona and didn't really have any options. A continent away and a few years worht of fervent research later I've pulled my very favorite carriers off the internet and into the store. We have A LOT of slings. And ALL of them are really good. It is a whole world this baby carrying business, but I promise to sum it up and get you into something so you can carry your kid all the time without hurting your back. Even if it takes a while. Also: if you have a carrier that you can't figure out, bring it in and I'll do my best to make it work for you- even if you didn't buy it here.

DETAIL OF BUILT-IN INFANT INSERT
Built-in infant insert means you do not need to purchase the insert separately, and your baby can sit higher in the carrier, in a natural healthy position. Later on, when baby outgrows the need for insert, you simply place her into the main body compartment, and the insert lays flat against the body.
Inside panel is one of the most innovative features of Butterfly model. It enables you to pass baby to your spouse or another caregiver without removing baby from the carrier. It also makes back carries as easy as can be, even with a three month old!

All cotton used in the Storchenwiege Baby Sling is from strictly regulated cotton farms and are all Oeko Text 100 certified cotton, free from chemicals or residue in the fabric. More info Oeko Tex 100 link.
The weave differs from all other slings in the yarn strength used.
In both directions (warp and woof ) of the cross weave Storchenwiege uses a double strength, not simple thread. All other wraparound baby slings use the double strength yarn only in one direction. This helps support baby's back, the correct leg positions, baby wearer's shoulders and back better than other wrap style slings.
Not only does the strong weave help the durability of the baby sling, it also holds the tied knot better as it doesn't give after the baby is placed in it.
This special weave does not influence the elasticity which is necessary to embrace your baby. Neither does it influece the airflow through the woven fabric.
The fabric is prewashed and preshrunk. This ensures the fabric has a minimal shrinkage of 2.5%. Most fabrics have far more. Especially for a woven wraparound style sling this is essential in knowing the fabric lenghts is right for you before washing the sling and not being able to exchange it after.
All slings are washed and dried without tension on the fabric.
No chemicals are used in any of the proceedure.
Storchenwiege is manufactured in Sachsen, Germany, under strict environmental regulations. German manufacturing alone stands for the highest quality possible.
Storchenwiege Baby Slings have a double hemline for durability and the correct embracing of your baby's back and leg position.
All Storchenwiege Baby Slings have tapered ends to ensure easy tying. They form a pallelogram.
Looks new after many washes and years of use. Other brands look quite washed out after only one year of use.
All Storchenwiege Baby Slings come with detailed instructions. The instructions differ from others on the market as they give some extra hints in tying the sling. This is great for beginners as well as "Sling Fanatics." The instructions were developed with the help of a certified teacher of baby wearing from the Dresden, Germany, school of baby wearing instructors. It shows.
