The NoJo baby sling is a product designed to allow the wearer to carry a baby against her body when walking. The sling is simple in construction, consisting of a large pouch fitted with padded rails on the edges, with an adjustable strap attached. The strap is equipped with a pillow pad designed to minimize the amount of strain placed on the shoulder when the sling is in use. By wearing the sling in various ways and placing the baby into the pouch in different positions, the user may reconfigure the product to suit personal preferences.

Standard Position

Step 1

Position the baby sling next to the side of your body, with the adjustment strap facing toward you and the pillow pad facing behind. Pass one arm under the shoulder strap, then lift the strap up onto your shoulder.

Step 2

Lift the strap further upward, and pull it over your head. Lower the strap onto the opposite shoulder. Adjust the pillow pad so that it fits on the top of your shoulder.

Step 3

Grip the edges of the sling's padded rails. Pull apart the rails until you have created an opening large enough to accommodate your baby. Lift your baby, and insert her into the opening, with her head pointed toward the adjustment strap. Pull the end of the adjustment strap until you have achieved a comfortable fit.

Snuggle Hold

Step 1

Fit the sling onto your body in the standard position, without placing your baby into the sling. Lift your baby upward and hold him against your shoulder.

Step 2

Use one hand to pull out the upper edge of the sling. Lower your baby's feet into the sling, passing them over the lower of the two padded rails.

Step 3

Tuck the lower railing around your baby's bottom and thighs until he is secure against your body. Pull the upper railing upward until it supports the baby's neck and head. Pull on the sling's adjustment strap until you have achieved a comfortable fit.

Kangaroo Carry

Step 1

Fit the sling onto your body in the standard position, without placing your baby into the sling. Lift your baby upward, with her body facing outward. Use one hand to support her lower body while your other arm loops around her torso.

Step 2

Grip the sling's upper railing and pull it outward to create an opening. Lower your child into the sling, such that she is able to sit down and look over the upper railing.

Step 3

Pull the upper railing over your baby's upper torso. Pull on the sling's adjustment strap until you have achieved a comfortable fit.
