As we all know when you have a baby or a toddler, they want to be held. They want to be close to Mom and Dad. I always found when my girls were little that it was so easy for them to be in a pouch baby sling. That’s why when I was asked if I wanted to review a new baby sling from Polkadot Papoose, I was thrilled!
Here is a little bit about Polkadot Papoose:
Stylish…Practical…Irresistible. Call them what you will, but unless you’ve worn one, you can’t possibly appreciate the artistry, versatility and comfort of a hand-crafted Polkadot Papoose baby sling. Established by a free-lance babywear designer with a vision for a product that would capture the hearts of sensible-yet-fashionable moms from coast to coast, we are more than a brand; we are the hand-scissored edge of the babywear industry and the “must-have” baby sling for the modern mom.
Polkadot Papoose is proud to offer a wide variety of designer fabrics to suit almost any taste, from vintage to sophisticated, from trendy to the retro-simplistic, and from traditional favorites to the newest creations from breakthrough fabric designers featured exclusively on Polkadot Papoose baby slings.
When I first received my pouch from Polkadot Papoose I was so pleased with the beautiful fabric and the softness of the material. It is a beautiful combination for a reversible baby sling. I’ve worn tons of slings, whether they’ve been pouches, ring slings, mei tai’s, or SSC (soft structured carriers), I am a huge advocate of babywearing.
I’ve found that the easiest to wear kids in for a quick trip are pouches. And that’s why I’ve decided that the pouches I like best are the reversible ones like Polkadot Papoose makes. The fabrics are stylish for anyone who can appreciate different moods like modern, retro, and sophisticated. Its nice because whatever fabric personality you have, you will be able to find a baby sling that will fit it!
I have to say that my favorite part of my Polkadot Papoose is the pocket that is on the sling. As you can see from my pictures below- (or maybe not) there is a pocket on the outside and of course on the reversible side. With other pouch slings that I’ve found, they call themselves reversible but yet they don’t have the same things on both sides, so it can still be limiting. The pocket on the sling is perfect to put a credit card in or even a small set of keys- heck, maybe even a cell phone might work depending on the size!
Note: Please excuse my own picture taking, grumpy little lady who isn’t feeling well, and Reagan who decided she wanted to be in the pictures too.

Slings are a life saver for me. I have a 1 yr old that just can’t stand to see that we aren’t connected at the hip. I so need one that is comfy enough to carry him all day long so he’s smiling instead of a cranky pants

scout pattern baby sling is my choice. Luv the pattern
I love this sling. very stylish and it looks so easy to use
Love the sayuri pattern.
My favorite thing about babywearing is we can easily take walks where strollers aren’t convenient. I used to stay home while hubby took the older kids mushroom hunting, now I strap the baby on my back and off we go. I used to stay on the walking paths with the stroller while hubby & the kids went to explore, now I can go with them.
I have never had a sling, I’ve only had a wrap.. The slings look so much easier to use.. I would enjoy one to carry my 2 month old baby around and still be able to care and chase after my toddler. This summer it would come in handy as my children will be facing their first deployment and with their Daddy gone I will be able to care for both of my boys..
I would love a sling for baby #2 I think it would make it so much easier to take care of both of them being able to carry the baby in one!
