Sizing

Please use the chart above right to determine your approximate size based on your weight and height.

Please select what size you would like using the selection box above this listing.

The most important key to successful use of the Peanut Shell baby
sling is to first get the right size. Keep in mind that that even with
all of our guidance the "correct" size sling is what safely works for
you and your baby. Most people can wear 2 different sizes in our baby
slings-as you can in clothes. There are many factors that affect sizing
so don't hesitate to email us prior to ordering to let us help you find the size that will work best for you and your baby.

If you have a Peanut Shell baby sling that is too big your baby will
not feel secure and will ride too low on your body (lower than your hip
bones). This is not only unsafe for your child but may also lead to back
and/or shoulder discomfort. If the baby sling is too small you won't
even be able to get the baby in or you will feel like you can't breathe.
Keep in mind that the correct fit of the Peanut Shell(r) baby sling
should feel snug with baby inside BUT you should be comfortable. If you
are new to sling wearing, with the correct snug fit, you may even think
it is too small.

Please use the information provided on this page to help you pick the
correct size baby sling. We have created our chart (above right) over
time using our expertise that comes with fitting thousands of parents
and have found it to be very accurate. However, as each person is shaped
different, each person will have a personal preference cannot be
accounted for. This chart is a suggestion and not a guarantee.

With the baby inside the sling the lowest part of the sling should rest
in line or ABOVE your hip bones.
Remember that this is just a guideline, so go with what feels most
comfortable to you.

The overall fit should be snug and baby may look squished but as long as
you both are comfortable in the baby sling, then you have the right
size. If baby does not seem happy in the baby sling, then get moving as
most babies like to be moving around. You can also try putting a rolled
receiving blanket under your baby to prop him up until he has better
head control. Be sure baby's chin is not pinned against his chest.

Basic Instructions

Step 1: Folding the Sling

Before you put on your sling, make sure your pouch is folded in half (it is packaged folded correctly). To do this you will need to fold it in half lengthwise, with the two sewn sides of the pouch parallel, creating a "pouch." (pocket on outside and padded rail on inner edge against your body).

Step 2: Putting the Sling On

Hold the Peanut Shell® baby sling in one hand with the folded edge nearest your body and the curved seam pointing toward the ground. Slip the pouch up and over your head, putting the arm that was holding the pouch through it, and let it come to rest on the opposite shoulder.

Step 3: Proper Placement of the Sling

Before you put baby in your Peanut Shell® baby sling make sure the fabric of the pouch is spread across the ball of your shoulder, NOT up around your neck (so your shoulder bone should be centered on the fabric across your shoulder) and smoothed across your back. Your Peanut Shell® should fit snugly to allow for the stretch of the fabric and to give you the most comfortable carry. The seam should be positioned over your belly button.
Peanut

TIP: No matter which position you are using, your baby's bottom always goes on the seam, which is curved to create a deep "seat." For front cradle or upright carries, position the seam just off-center from your belly button, about halfway between belly button and hip bone. For hip carries, it should be at your hip.

Tips & Safety

Please use common sense while wearing the Peanut Shell® and remember that a baby (or two) is inside! The following tips are important to keep in mind at all times while wearing your baby:

* When putting the baby in the Peanut Shell® always make sure that you are supporting your baby with at least one arm at all times until you are certain the sling is in place.

* Be sure to keep baby away from hot stoves, heaters, fireplaces or other hot or sharp objects. Pay attention to what your baby is doing at all times!

* Bend at the knees, not at the waist, and support baby in the sling with one hand.

* Please remember that toddlers, if worn, are at your reaching level and love the new freedom to grab potentially dangerous objects off shelves.

* When going through doorways or around corners, please use extreme caution that baby's body and head does not stick out past your arm and strike the wall or doorjamb.

* Wear baby cautiously in the kitchen. Do not wear baby while cooking or working with sharp or hot objects.

* Do not ride a bicycle or any other "cycle" while wearing your baby. Baby carriers are not substitutes for an approved car seat.

Nursing or Sleeping

To nurse, slide your baby close to the breast you are nursing with. Pull the inside carrier fabric down to expose your breast and help your baby latch on. Smaller babies (or while you are getting the hang of it) will probably need the support from one of your arms. For additional privacy while nursing or sleeping, place your baby toward the inside of the wide strip of fabric to cover your baby and breast.
