An Additional Use for a Sling?!

My eldest daughter has just had her 5th birthday, so I currently have a five year old and a five week old!!

My eldest's favourite film is Tangled, the Disney film of Rapunzel. Her favourite use of my pink and purple Sabe  is to tie it round her waist and pretend it's her hair - I was quite impressed with the idea actually! There is lot of "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair....." followed by the sling being flung down the stairs or swinging from it on the stair post!

She even entered a fancy dress competition in our village as Rapunzel and I have to say that I think she was robbed of a prize - a ballerina and a fireman won - some people just don't appreciate creativity (obvs I'm biased, lol!).

 After being unable to decide on the colour of the sling I wanted from Sabe for my new squish, as you know in my last post I had eventually decided on pink and purple, however with the gorgeous weather we've been having, I just couldn't resist buying the red spotted with apple too as it's so summery and fun. I used the 20% (and free local delivery) discount voucher everyone who attended the Face of Sabe photoshoot received. It arrived yesterday and I've worn it on the 2 school runs since.....and I was finally spotted on a FB sling group - about time, ha ha!! Thank you to my "spotter", you genuinely made my day!

For anyone wondering what Bubba and I are wearing when babywearing in this lush heat, then I'm favouring just a nappy for her and a vest top for me. On the morning school run, I don't even put her in a hat, as I feel for the 15 minutes we're out, the sun isn't strong enough to worry. For the afternoon school pick up, then it's a must, but then I try to gather the fabric up a little bit more across her back to allow some air in.


I am friends with the owner of the company. We met when I was asked through a mutual friend to model for the initial advertising shots when the company launched in 2009. I was a babywearer already and was really impressed with the products and proceeded to use the stretchy Sa-Be daily until my daughter was 18 months old and on several occasions until she was 3 years old.
All the opinions about the SaBe slings in my blog are my own, but any factual information such as pricing, availability, safety testing, etc is checked with the company and accurate at the time of publishing the post.
