Seven Everyday Slings Northern Lights (Blue) - Size 4

I was sent a size 3 not a size 4. I had intended this as a gift. Could not use so I sent back. That is why the 1 star. It seemed very nice. If it had been the correct size it would have been great

I like this sling it's not complicated trying to get it on, it's very fashionable and my baby loves the feel of it.

1- Ok, even before I bought my sling, I thought for sure that the name was awful. Seriously, does anyone think "seven deadly sins" when they see Seven Everyday Slings?2- The website looks like a soft porn site. I almost closed it immediately so my 2 year old couldn't see. Honestly, big neon pink stars with overly dolled up models pushing babies into your product. What were you thinking?3- This sucker is just too small. I measured my body 4 times. My friend measured me too. I even went up a size as recommended because my measurements fell as at a half point. Now, I'm having trouble cramming my 3 month in (he's running the 50th percentile so he's not a big baby) and out of the thing. My husband jokes that it looks like I'm trying to give birth to him again.4- This product stinks. I don't know why but it has a chemical aroma that I don't really like exposing my child to.5- The return policy stinks. Even though I measured 6 times and I went up a size, I apparently got it wrong. I was so sure the sizing was correct that I didn't pay extra for the sizing return fee. Now I'm stuck with it and it's not like I can just give it to someone else.6- The instructions are impossible to follow. Even just putting the thing on correctly took a while. They tell you to use your dominant hand to pull through the sling and even show a super dolled up model doing it. Frustrated, I skip the written directions and try to mimic the model, but I can't get the sling to work comfortably. I finally figure out that the model is left handed. No offense to lefties out there, but I made the assumption the model was right handed like majority so this just set me back. I mean, at least put a note under the picture stating the handedness of the model.7- My baby doesn't look comfortable in it. Because of his age, the company recommends a front facing position in which the baby's legs are crossed in front of him and then crammed into this too small sling. I know I've heard that babies are made of rubber but it looks painful. Even the cradle carry looks wrong. Therefore, I'm not optimistic about the 6+ month carry.In short, there are better slings. This is not one of them.

So I managed to get the size right for the most part - its the right size for her to sit in but never can she lay down. The real rip is the price; I too got a promo code but even at $14 I am not happy. The fabric is rough, and it is literally -LITERALLY- a piece of fabric folded in half and sewn together. I could make one in 2 minutes - by enough fabric to wrap over your shoulder, through your chest and around your back. Sew the ends together. Done. That is not worth $14 much less $44 without the promo code.

I too had a coupon code so I only had to pay shipping...but even that was too much once I actually received the product. I followed the sizing chart and the sling ended up being way too small to fit my child in it comfortably. If the sizing is going to run small..the company should say that on the website. I also had to read the directions at least ten times before I could even figure out what they were saying to do with the sling. I would definitely recommend to spend a little more money and get a better quality sling like a moby wrap or K'tan. Definitely would never recommend this sling.
