In a slingokurtka it is convenient to carry the child. Moreover, there are models where the baby is in front, on the chest, most of these models. And there are those where the baby can be worn on the back. The choice is yours.
Modern models are quite stylish and meet the requirements of fashion.
Demi-season sling jackets are made of fabric impervious to wind and moisture; the lining is usually made of polar fleece. In such jackets it is warm and comfortable for both mom and baby. The slingokurt is quite voluminous in size and consists of a jacket for the mother and a snap-on insert, at the top of which there is a hole - a neck for the baby’s head and a hood. In many models, the neck is designed so that the neck of the crumbs is reliably covered from the weather.

- The mother's hands are released.

- Under the jacket, the baby is reliably sheltered from the weather, it is warm and comfortable.
- The baby freely moves his arms and legs, his body is located naturally.
- It is convenient to visit shops, a children's clinic, travel by public transport is no longer a problem. After all, you no longer need to carry a bulky stroller with you.
- Many models can be worn first during pregnancy, then used with a sling, and then, after unfastening the insert, wear it like a regular jacket.
The sling jacket will provide you close contact with the baby, protect it from the weather, allow you to warm your body, save you time, make you more mobile.
With my first child, I used a regular kangaroo backpack. With the second one I already decided to buy myself a slingokurtka - I will say from my own experience that in a jacket it is much more convenient for both mother and child.
When my daughter was born, I did not know about the existence of such jackets. Now I look with envy at the mummies who go to them, it’s very convenient. When I decide to follow the second one I’ll definitely get such a purchase.
After reading the article, I honestly have a dual impression, on the one hand, a sling jacket is a convenient thing. On the other hand, it is somehow incomprehensible that the child is always on his hands or worse on his back like a “backpack”.
this is very harmful to the spine !!! when we hold the baby with our hands, even as the load is more or less correctly distributed, and so completely on it !!!
Olesya, if the carrying is correct - a sling-scarf, a sling with rings, a May-sling or an ergonomic backpack (but here the age limit is from 6 months), then this is useful for the baby, he does not “sit” (like in a kangaroo) on the crotch . Mom’s back is much more comfortable with proper carrying.
It is possible and necessary to carry a child in her arms, but how long will the back cope with the weight of the child?
