Wear Your Baby Eco-Chic Style (Review and Contest)

Posted by Candace on Apr 13, 2009 | 127 Comments

Eco-Chic Baby Ring SlingEco-chic and earthy babywearing mamas, you are going to dig these hip environmentally-friendly ring slings from Chic Tots.

Babywearing is a natural way to enjoy your baby, and you can bond while going about your day.  With a sling, you can hold your baby hands’ free and safe.

The designers at Chic Tots are masters at inventing products that are beautiful and useful, just like inventive mamas throughout the ages.

These gorgeous slings are not only comfortable, they are also made from tencel (a natural fiber made from wood pulp) combined with linen.  The resulting fabric looks and feels something like raw silk crossed with linen, textured and yet soft.  Environmentally sustainable, tencel is more wrinkle-resistant then pure linen and cool in the summer and warm in the winter–so no matter what the weather, you’ll be able to enjoy the outdoors with your baby in style.

I’ve been wearing my 22 lbs. son in the Eco-Chic sling for the last week and have felt secure and comfortable–not to mention fun and fashionable. Although tencel is a luxuriously supple fabric, it is also very durable, so you will enjoy this sling throughout your baby’s infanthood and even reuse the sling with your next baby or share it with another mama.

Each sling has a sewn-on pocket of beautiful fabric to add a convenient place to stash diapers, keys, and other supplies, not to mention a touch of flair.

Becoming a mother has made me all the more conscious of not just the bond of family but also the bond we share with all the world.  With the Eco-Chic Sling from Chic Tots, I can hold my baby close in comfort and style and promote a sustainable lifestyle.

    I had a few fave items in the Earth Day Guide. I’m researching Cloth Diapers, so I love that those were mentioned. I’ve also been researching non-toxic baby washes and the like. California Baby is one that pops up a lot, so I’ll have to look into them.
