I researched different slings and this looked like it would be easy to use and I’m really glad in chose it. It’s really easy to get the hang of and my baby girl loves it and sleeps comfortably in it. Definitely recommend.
Wish I had this with my first.
Lovely sling really easy to use and wash. Little one seems comfortable in it, more so that more modern style baby carriers that I had with my first. Am able to move around easily and play with toddler while wearing newborn. Would recommend.
So easy to use
I loved this sling. I needed one that I could use, easily, on my own, for my 10 week old Grandson. The Koala Babycare Baby Sling, ticked every box. Easy to put on and take off, unaided and he loves it. I can get on with jobs, or go out, while he’s tucked up, mainly asleep, but he’s happy in the sling even when he’s awake and is safely protected from his very loving, toddler brother. I can even sit down, if I have the time. Thank you Koala Babycare for making my life much easier.
I bought this because my baby loves being worn and often will only settle in a sling, but the stretchy wrap I had before was taking too long to put on and off (and I never could manage to work out how to feed him in it, so I’d have to take it off for every feed). This one is so much more convenient and easy to use. I was concerned that being plus size (18-20) it wouldn’t fit, but it definitely does and would fit someone a fair few sizes bigger than me too, as there’s plenty of fabric spare.
Top quality
Really easy to use, fabric super soft and does not scratch. Baby loves cuddling in and mam likes free hands to get some jobs done. We used the demonstration video to learn quicker how to put on and it was super easy.
Lifesaver for first 3 months
This was a lifesaver at getting baby to sleep during the first 3 months of his life. Very easy to put on alone, only negative I doubted whether the position was that good for baby’s back. I wouldn’t use it out the house either as again worried about the support during long periods of time. It become a bit tight after 3 months and we moved onto a sturdy carrier but done the job for short while.
Couldn’t cope without i
This is absolutely amazing and totally worth the investment. My little one fells asleep in 5 mins and loves it. It’s soft, cosy and very easy to put on (unlike the other bands it literally wears as a T-shirt). 100% recommend. I did a lot of research before buying and also tried a few ones this is far the best.
I loved my koala wrap, or the parts I received should I say, the material was great for my small newborn but I did only receive 1 part, when I messaged them to rectify they told me to buy it again and they’d refund 10%, meaning I’d of spent 85 total to get the same thing I should’ve received first time, but other than that, the wrap was lovely and I imagine very supportive with all the correct pieces, shame really as I use my current carrier daily so it would’ve been well used
Edit : they have since messaged me and it turns out I bought from a company called BWSUPPLIES which apparently wasn’t selling genuine products, I have since received a wrap directly from them and the quality is 10/10 and design is a lot different, this wrap feels good quality
Amazing wrap
I love this wrap and so does my baby, she settles really well in it and it means I can get some house work done. Great design and secureness I have already recommended to a few family and friends
Fantastic
I have tried wraps before, but as this one seems to be a ‘pre made’ wrap and it goes over your head like a teeshirt, so so easy to use when you get the hang of it. When my little one is unsettled, I pop it on, pop him into it and settle him easily, he falls asleep almost instantly and I even cooked dinner before with him in it. Went to a zoo and walked the day wearing my baby. It’s what I go to if I need to hold him and do something at the same time. So glad I found this wrap. It’s comfortable when fitted properly, not too tight, not too loose. Instructions are good to understand. Still I needed some practice to use it but I’m now a pro! I would really recommend this wrap to any parents I know. When I was walking a lot wearing it, my back didn’t get sweaty. Baby had a lot of air pockets and it was a win win for us.
So much easier than using the pram
Quick to get used to and baby is super secure once in. Been using it since our son was 1 week old and it’s brilliant for walks, shopping etc where you might need your hands free or where it’s not practical for the pram. Plus our baby loves it and is often fast asleep within minutes of him being in it.
Lovely item
Nice item, perfect for my newborn who likes to be with me always. I usually put her in it over the bed as it can be bit fiddly if you have a wiggly baby
Baby essential
I was unsure about using a sling, I chose this one based on the fact that you can put it on similar to a t shirt, this made it so easy, no complicated wrapping.
It’s one of the few purchases I would very highly recommend, calms baby quickly and not too much pressure on my own back. Also has handy pocket. Feels very secure and baby enjoys 5
Great gif
Purchased this as a gift for mum to be. She was very pleased with the product and found it easy to use and baby seems very content and happy whilst using it.
Our savior! After ordinary slings which took hours to put on… And hesitation whether it worths it.. This thing is a game changer! It only takes a few seconds to put on, the baby feels perfect in it and falls asleep easily. Also, very convenient to take a shower with the baby.
A must have
This is a must have! Absolutely perfect and easy to use. Bought it as my little one is clingy and I can’t get anything done with one hand but other slings or carriers are to big for her (she only weighs 2kg). She falls asleep so quickly and leaves me free to do what I need to. It is a little pricey but it saves faffing around with wrapping. Slip it over your head, adjust, position baby inside and for extra support wrap the band around. Perfect for bonding with baby and getting chores done. Highly recommended
Good baby shower gif
Seems to have gone down well as a baby shower gift. I chose this over others as it seemed to be easier to use without assistance, rather than just a long piece of stretchy cloth
Colic
Bought this for our baby who is suffering Colic – Making lying down very uncomfortable for him.
With this we can keep him upright while he sleeps which helps reduce the impact of mucus and the side effects of Colic. He loves the carrier and falls asleep almost as soon as he goes in.
It’s easy to set up just a case of pulling it over your head. My only concern was with the back support piece that ties underneath baby’s bottom, I was concerned it might be too tight across baby’s legs when tied but you really don’t have to tie it that tight for it to support the baby.
I am able to get jobs done round the house while holding our little one in this and I would highly recommend, I’m so glad I chose this type of carrier rather than one that you have set all up everytime.
The side rings work perfect and are stable so they never come undone.
Useful once it’s o
I like the idea of this but I’ve not managed to get the baby in the optimum position each time I put it on. I’m very petite and I’m not sure if it’s the best fit for me. Baby does look somewhat snug and does dose off. I think practice makes perfect and will try agai
It’s not often that I write a review but I had to for this one. I have been using this wrap from 3 months and my daughter is now 9 months. I initially bought it to wear on the plane when my daughter was 3 months. It was used well and incredibly supportive. I still use it as a support to carrying my daughter. I find it far more comfortable and natural than my babybjorn harmony carrier. The fabric is beautiful, it’s well made, looks lovely over your clothes, has a wonderful bag, you don’t have to fiddle around with wrapping it. This is by far one of the best baby products I’ve bought and at THAT price it is a bargain compared to other carriers. Well done for getting this product so right.
An absolute dream!
I’m going to mention the downside first – personally, I struggled to get my baby in and out of the sling by following the instruction booklet method, and I just couldn’t get him to sit right in it. However, once I researched other slings in a similar style, and found a different way to put my baby in, this sling became an absolute dream!
I knew my head wouldn’t be able to fathom wrapping, so this is the best of both worlds – you have the feeling of a wrap sling, without the hassle! The sling is really comfortable and supportive, is easy to adjust, and it washes and tumble dries really well – you just have to allow for the fact that it will feel tighter when it first comes out, and the metal rings need some time to cool down, even when using the low temperature setting.
I am really impressed with the quality of this baby carrier and with the ease of using it, so much so that I will likely purchase a second one as I find myself wanting to use one at home and have one always in the bag with me for when I go out. When baby is fussy in the pram, having this carrier at hand means I can pick baby up and hold her without needing help with the pram, which is very important for me. My baby is very comfortable in there, as she is secure but is as the fabric is not rigid she can comfortably put herself in a comfy position.
What’s useful to know if you’re considering buying this, is that if like me you don’t want the strap to be too tight on baby’s head, the carrier will allow you to decide how tight or how loose you want to have it, withiur cimpromising on safety, which is great, just keep in mind less tight means if baby falls asleep you may want to keep a hand on their little head (or tighten up, I personally feel baby is more comfortable when there is a little bit of room).
I love this baby carrier and definitely recommend it: it’s perfect if you’re considering what to get and are not sure whether to go for something rigid or for a sling, as this is the perfect compromise: as many have said, it is soft and comfy for the baby, so they’ll likely love it, and it’s super easy to put on without need for help. Just buy it, you won’t regret it!
Koala Babycare Sling-
This is an absolute essential with a newborn I would be so lost without it! I bought this when my second baby (8 weeks old) was a week old, as my first born son is only two and it gave me my hands free to be spending my time with him, cooking, cleaning and just getting about around the house, I also use it on the food shop and have used it outside for a couple of small walks to the park, and taking my toddler to his usual classes.
I previously had a wrap sling which I had to tie around myself which I was uncomfortable with as I wanted baby to feel properly secure and I just wasn’t confident with doing so. That’s when I purchased this ready made wrap, it is so easy to put on, just wear it like a t shirt and so easy to put baby in, and most importantly I feel confident she is well supported in there.
Another great thing about this as soon as my baby is popped in she soothes so quickly and can sleep in there for ages comfortable happy and close to me while I can carry on doing other things while still cuddling my baby.
I’ve recommended this to other mums already it’s been amazing especially when having another young child it’s allowed me to ease the mum guilt and give both of my children the attention they need at the same time.
It’s very comfortable to wear and has a good padded back support, it is a comfy stretchy material for baby to be in, and can be washed in the machine.
5 stars from me I couldn’t be without it. I would score this 100 if I could!
Brilliant Carrie
I really love this carrier, its fit me since day 1 postpartum and i’m a size 22/24, its really stretchy, and baby loves being in it. If you haven’t used a wrap before then it’s tricky the first time trying to figure out how baby actually goes in the wrap, it took me a few tries to get him in there correctly, once he was in right though it was really comfy and he went to sleep within a few minutes, and he has done every time I’ve used this. I wear the wrap almost every day to do household chores and have recently started using it outside the house to go round shops. I much prefer this to a normal baby carrier but in contrast my boyfriend prefers a normal baby carrier to this, so make sure you know what you like!
A bonus with this is when correctly adjusted I don’t get back pain, my little one was 4kg at birth, and is now 5kg and it’s still pain free, I also used this straight after a c section as it doesn’t sit near the incision and I feel it doesn’t put any additional pressure on it either.
I’ve had many wraps, carriers and slings over my 10 years in parenthood.
As my journey through motherhood went on my needs changed when I fell pregnant with my 3rd and final baby with a 2 year old and a pre teen I didn’t fancy juggling 7miles of fabric while watching a YouTube tutorial each time I wanted to wear my baby.
I started to look into different pre wrapped baby slings/wraps. I found 3 major ones this being 1 of the 3. One needed sizing for the t-shirt part and it wasn’t a UK / EU sizing it was from an Asian country popular for not being the best for sizing. Despite good reviews and measurements on their website/Amazon page I didn’t trust my fluctuating weight and self to measure and get it wrong for the !
I landed opted for this one when it recently went on sale.
I’m so glad I found this sling.
My tiny 5lb 12oz baby slotted in close to my chest and loved being worn.
Easy to wear, I slip it on like a t-shirt pull over shoulders – pull the loose parts- hold the baby to my heart- baby leg to chest- baby leg straddling the fabric then adjust to cover the baby and add the over slip. Done!
It’s also got a phone/ card pouch on the front.
I’m a csection mum and it sits away from my scar I wore it from 2 weeks pp only due to not going out I could have worn it earlier.
Highly recommended product for any mum/ dad/ grandparent/ carer wanting to wear their baby / young child.
I’m so happy I found this sling!! Our baby suffers badly with silent reflux and wants to he held upright all the time… this was really starting to drain on me so I went on the lookout for a sling. I borrowed various different ones from friends but the material went on for miles and they were so complicated to work out how to put it on. Then I came across this on amazon, it had great reviews and unlike so many others on the market was reasonably priced. I thought I would give it a whirl and I honestly haven’t looked back!
This sling is sooooo easy to put on, you can do it quickly by yourself (even with a crying baby!) Literally, it is so quick and easy and completely uncomplicated, exactly what you need it to be. Then once it is on baby slots in nicely. Our son is so comfortable in it, it holds him in position well and feels totally safe. For me, it has seen the return of my sanity as I now have hands free to wash and sterilise bottles, do some household chores and more importantly sit down and eat some lunch! For our son, it pacifies him as he is held close to me, keeps him comfortable and safe and allows him to fall asleep peacefully.
Thankyou Koala, you have created a real winner!!
If you are looking for a sling, I promise you, you won’t be disappointed in this one.
Didn't work for me and my 1st baby but 2nd one loved it.
Not for my baby, she didn’t liked it at all . Tried several times but she cried after a few minutes. ( FYI yes I used it right based on the instructions) Not that comfort for my back the few times I tried it. The company offered me a cushion at that time but lost access to emails so didnt get it, so really great customer service.
2023 Update: My second baby loved it so charging review to 4 stars. I traveled with this and managed to feed whilst on it with no issues, really helpful when on hurry to catch a flight, but also wear it at home to settle him down as he’s a bit colicky. Really glad I kept it!
Will be looking on their other products as well!
In sum, I think this is an excellent product and it’s been greatly beneficial to our family and needs.
From a more detailed view, I needed something to help me carry my baby (6 months old) due to living with a widespread and severe fibromyalgia (particularly affecting my back, hips, knees and arms/hands), I needed something to aid me holding my baby as comfortably as possible. I needed lightweight and easy to get on with minimal knot tying/clasps/buttons etc. If the product could also be worn by my husband that was a bonus.
When born, I used a kangaroo care top which I loved as it held her close and took much of the weight off my hands. She’s now longer and heavier and while she fits in the top, she is really too long for it so I was looking for something to wear over my own clothes and grow with her. We have an ergobaby carrier which fits my husband but feels to too bulky on my shoulders and I cannot get the back clips done up on my own and it’s also very padded and hot for baby as we come into summer. Slings look comfortable but the formation of wrapping fabric would be difficult for me and I’d be concerned at tying secure knots.
I’d seen an ad for a wrap and thought it was an ideal mix between the sling and bigger carriers. The one I saw was literally two loops of fabric so needed to be perfectly fitted to the wearer so whilst it was best for ease of use it would be no use for my husband and I to both use. It was also 60 so would be a lot for us both to buy one. That’s when I found this product!
This was 30 so half the price of the other one. It comes with a ring pull tightening system so it’s easy for me to use and feels very secure. I’ve not found it to loosen at all when wearing the wrap. It means both my husband and I can wear comfortably (I’m 5’8 size 12 and he is 6’2 and a large T-shirt size). So easy to get on, breathable fabric and cooler and comfortable for baby. Love the additional pocket piece for convenience to place of small items but also as an additional support to baby – this does need a knot tied around but as it’s not the main part holding baby, I’m not fearful of it loosening and compromising baby security. I’ve worn the wrap both with and without this extra part and even without, she feels secure.
The back padding is comfortable even with my condition. I wanted something that could make holding my baby as comfortable and least painful as possible – I’m always going to have a backache but this wrap means I’m able to hold her for longer and more comfortably in terms of back pain and without getting additional pain in my hands/arms. Also leaving hands free to manage another task if needed. I don’t think there is any product on the market which would eliminate pain for those of us with physical difficulty so it’s more about what can be used as an aid – this ticks all my boxes and had been a massive help already.
I noted comments before I bought about concerns using with a baby over 12 weeks. My baby is 6 months and weighs over a stone. She’s not particularly big for her age but also not super small. I find she fitted in this so well, both my husband and I felt she was as secure as in the big bulky carrier. When bending over, I’d always use a hand as added support on her back for safety sake but I generally feel I will be able to use this as she gets bigger and older as it’s flexiable with fitting.
Really really pleased I purchased! I hope this review is helpful for anyone else like me, whose looking for a product not just for style but for a complicated set of needs that’s not easily catered for on the baby market.
