Many parents choose baby slings over other baby carriers. Proponents of baby slings feel that slings keep the baby close to the parent's body which is important for emotional development.

If you are using a sling for a toddler, you will want one that supports your toddler's weight and allows you to hold your toddler's weight with little discomfort.
