Review: Hugamonkey Baby Slings

I have many friends who have used slings with their kids and I decided when I got pregnant with Ellie that I was going to try one out with her. I had one with my son that I bought from Wal-Mart but it was more of a carrier, with all sorts of straps and clasps and what not - it was way too confusing and I can probably count on one hand the number of times I used it. So since I had Ellie, I've been researching slings and other types of carriers to try and find one that would suit me. I found lots of different websites but finally decided on Hugamonkey, a site that dedicates itself to making affordable slings.

+ POSITIVES +

- The slings are very affordable. There's quite a few on clearance right now and I also used a coupon code I found here to get another 10% off my order. Also, they have a 100% guarantee, free shipping and free returns. I ended up ordering the black baby sling seen here. I figured black would be simple, go with everything and hubby could wear it too, if he wants.
- After I ordered the sling, I received several prompt emails about my order and when it would be shipped. It also arrived relatively quickly too, just a few days after I ordered it.
- The sling is SUPER easy to use and clean! And if you're still struggling with how to use it, there's handy little videos on their website that show you exactly what to do. They also show you all the different ways you can use it to carry your child.

- NEGATIVES -

- The sling is a little big but I was on the fence about what size to get and ordered the bigger. It works just fine, it's just a little bit roomier than the other size might have been. That's really about the only issue I've had with it.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Overall, I am happy with my new sling. I can keep Ellie close and still do stuff around the house or at least have my hands free. She seems to really enjoy the closeness and being involved in everything I'm doing. It's very durable but still lightweight. It's easy to clean, which is always a plus. I think it will be really handy to use when we're out and about. I'd definitely recommend Hugamonkey if you're thinking about buying a sling!
