Other slings are similar in concept, position, ages, health advantages and psychological benefits, however, there are some distinct differences that buyers much prefer. When parents can see both, they almost always choose ours.

Over the Shoulder Baby Holder is the only sling worthy to receive from America’s #1 parenting resource, The National Parenting Center, their seal of approval for it’s superb design and quality.

Baby can sit up contentedly and see out or...	Upright, heart to heart with mom or...	Baby can lay down to sleep or nurse discreetly or...	Larger children can straddle parents hip or ride piggy-back.

1) Most importantly, it has a patented safety nylon ring sewn into the bottom portion of the tail to prevent it from slipping through the rings if worn incorrectly.

2) Over The Shoulder Baby Holder, has two times the amount of padding on the parent’s shoulder, and around the baby’s head and legs. It’s more expensive to manufacture, but the quality shows.

3) Our batting is paneled or sewn down; it cannot slip inside the seam into the adjusting portion making it impossible to adjust. Sewing the batting down also prevents the batting from bunching up and twisting around while wearing or during washing.

4) Our batting is flame-retardant. This is not an added chemical that will wash Out. Other slings have a resin added that makes it easier to cut and sew, but it’s highly flammable and allergenic. Not having our batting treated with this resin is also much softer to the touch and does not mat down.

5) We have a string tie that holds the side rails together over the shoulder pillows; this doubles our already plush padding and prevents the sides from falling down toward mom’s elbows or pressing into her neck, thus keeping the whole sling in better proportion for the wearer.

6) Our designer fabrics fit fashions. We typically stock 3 to 4 dozen soft pastels, stripes, solids, florals, Guatemalan, southwest, batik, Hawaiian and country prints. Mom can look good while she holds her baby close.

7) Our fabrics are cool breathable low allergenic 100% cotton or mostly cotton-poly blends. We have 3 sizes to comfortably fit any size parent. Petite for people under 5 ft. and under 120 lbs. Regular for parents between 140 lbs. and 175 lbs. Large for parents (mostly moms) over 170 lbs. or 5’ 10" tall up to 250 lbs.

8) We have one price ($44.95) for all our standard fabrics and sizes.

9) The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder comes with a FREE 20 minute instructional dvd. This produces happier users and less returns. Our dvd-instructions show a larger variety of positions to carry the baby and a variety of different age babies moms can relate to.

10) Our packaging has color photos to show and explain how the product is used. Our competitors either have no packaging or a hard box that shows the same position three times.

11) We have a network of natural childbirth educators and lactation consultants who continually supply feed-back and we respond, making changes immediately because we’re made in the U.S.A. Our slings are professionally sewn on industrial sewing machines, by professional seamstresses, so each and every one comes out perfectly even, consistent, and high quality. They are not sewn in Asia or unsupervised on a "hobby machine".
