Cheap Balboa Baby Adjustable Sling by Dr. Sears

Balboa Baby Adjustable Sling by Dr. Sears - Geisha Trim
Customer Review: a GOD-send!!!

I am so glad I decided on this sling. I tried 2 others: the INfantino Sling rider (Which only satisfied my newborn for a week) and the HotSling, too stiff and no adjustable straps. I ordered this solely based on the picture and that it's endorsed by Dr. Sears. I got lucky - this sling has been a GOD SEND! IT's my baby's favorite way to sleep. She was very colic-y from the beginning and this was the only way to calm her down and get her to sleep. We would swaddle her and get her in. We'd even lay her down after falling asleep safely in the sling still into her crib. It's been perfect! I'm still using it with her at 7 mos. True, if you have back problems, it's prob not going to be a positive experience for you. Also, baby may not take to the sling right at first, but keep trying it and she'll eventually cozy into it. Take this sling shopping with you, to church, to friends, restaurants - it's perfect for nestling baby so she feels safe. And you can try other positions and styles of wearing it as your baby grows. I rec. getting Dr. Sear's Baby Book as a companion to show different baby-wearing methods that work with this sling.

Customer Review: Must Have!!

I LOVE this product!! I was hesitant about using it at first...I was afraid that the baby would not be secure, but it has become a life saver. It's so nice to be able to have my baby so close and still have both hands free (i'm actually typing this with my son in the sling). As soon as I put him in, he immediately falls asleep...he's so comfy and cozy. PERFECT for a colicy baby. And the straps are so wide and padded that it's comfortable for me too.

My only complaint ( the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5) is that I'm only 5'2" and the sling hangs a bit low on me, more at waist level than chest level. The only other problem I had was that my son was only 5lbs8oz when born, so he kind of got lost in the bottom of the sling, I needed to place folded blankets in the bottom before I put him in. But now he's about 7 lbs and it is perfect.

This would be a perfect shower gift!
