SAFETY NOTICE: ALL FREEDOM SLINGS ARE MADE USING ONLY NON-WELDED RINGS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED AND TESTED FOR BABY CARRIERS. OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR SELLER THAT THEY ONLY USE NON-WELDED RINGS MANUFACTURED FOR BABY CARRIERS.
Safety is of paramount importance for me and my children and for yours too, that's why at Freedom Slings we use only the best fabrics and safety tested rings. The lightweight NON-WELDED aluminium rings that we use are specially imported and manufactured for baby slings. Other sellers still use British made welded stainless steel rings that cost 10 times less than the rings we use (and still charge the same price for their slings, in some cases even more!!)
Why do we think it's worth it? Well apart from weighing less and looking nicer, these rings have been specifically tested and made for baby slings. They have no weld (A WELD IS BY IT’S VERY NATURE THE WEAKEST PART OF THE RING) and since the weight of your baby is borne by the rings, it’s not worth risking your baby's safety by using a sling made with cheaper rings. Our rings have been independently tested and still didn't break on a load of 3,000lbs, other sellers using the welded stainless steel rings will tell you the have been durability tested for more than 400kgs, however tested on what? They are made by companies in the UK but they do not make them specifically for baby slings. In short if safety is as important to your family as it is to mine ALWAYS insist on SAFE NON-WELDED RINGS which any reputable sling manufacturers should use but very often don’t. Independent WAHM’s using safe rings like ourselves will always let you know the ring type they use.
If a listing only mentions testing of the rings and NOT the way the rings are made (i.e. welded/non-welded) then ask the seller because they are probably the inferior welded rings.
Freedom Slings are now established as one of the UK's top selling sling makers and here is why.........
ALL Freedom Slings are designed with comfort and safety in mind by using only reputable experienced British manufacturers, locally sourced quality fabrics and SAFE recommended non-welded lightweight aluminium sling rings which dramatically increase the safety of your sling. These rings have been designed and tested specifically for baby slings and should NOT be confused with the cheap welded stainless steel rings that some other sellers use.
Fast, friendly service from our home based mum and daughters team where someone is always on hand to answer questions and offer friendly, helpful advice.

These rings have to be imported and should not be confused with the heavier UK made welded steel rings used on inferior slings.We are happy to import these rings as although we recognise the importance of the environment we care more for you and your baby’s safety in this instance than we do about our carbon footprint!
Slings available for immediate delivery by First Class post or by Royal Mail airmail for international buyers.(see my feedback comments)
Email and Pics received from a very happy repeat customer:
Hi
I noticed that you had a gallery for pics of babbits in their slings. I thought I would send you a couple pics of Sophie, who's currently 5 1/2 weeks. She actually has panic attacks if we dare to put her in her push chair.
People here in Grimsby are gobsmacked when they see us out and about with it, and she gets loads of attention.
My other half has one, as well, and they spent an afternoon asleep together in his chair, without him worrying about dropping her. And we've also sent one to my brother in the States, who's little one is 2 days younger than Sophie.
I'm starting to think we might get another one soon, for a change of colour. Do you do the £19.95 one in a dark purple?
Many Thanks, again, Mel

All sizes catered for and ALL slings come complete with a pocket in the tail as standard.
Slings are manufactured to the highest standard here in the UK, in keeping with our commitment to the UK manufacturing industry who are struggling to survive with the increase in cheap foreign goods that are being produced and also in keeping with our Fair Trade ethos .
Slings are made with beautiful colour co-ordinated rings which are manufactured and tested specifically for baby carriers and are the ONLY rings as recommended in Mothering magazine. The rings are weld-free aluminium which makes baby wearing more comfortable as well as increasing safety dramatically. The rings have been tested and have withstood a pull test of 3,000 lbs. without breaking. These rings are not to be confused with the much cheaper UK manufactured lightweight stainless steel rings as advertised by some other sellers on eBay.
New to baby wearing? Don't panic, we have made our own comprehensive CD of instructions to accompany your sling, showing you all of the 7 carry positions and also handy hints.(see the testimonials page on my website for comments. I receive emails daily from buyers saying just how invaluable these instructions are.) Also, please feel free to email or telephone if you need advice (same number as for credit card payments 01236 780302). We will always give friendly, honest advice on the best sling type for your needs.
Freedom Slings are the ONLY slings on eBay endorsed by a NAMED midwife and bestselling author.

‘I met Margaret at the Glasgow Baby Show in March 2005. She was wearing her 'Freedom Sling' and her gorgeous 10 month old daughter was asleep and cozy. I had been looking for a sling that was easy to use, comfortable for both mother and baby and also allowed free access for breastfeeding. The Freedom sling does all these things and I am more than happy to recommend it to all new mums.

ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH A BABY AND A TODDLER? STRUGGLING WITH A BABY THAT JUST WON'T BE PUT DOWN? BREASTFEEDING AND DAD IS FEELING LEFT OUT? WELL RELAX YOU HAVE FOUND THE SLING THAT IS THE IDEAL SOLUTION - SEE MY FEEDBACK
Hi Margaret,
I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE this sling, it is extremely easy for me to put on myself and now my little boy can go around the house with me no problems! Taking my other son (who is 3) to the nursery is now a breeze! I can now change his shoes, take his jacket off and before I leave him I can give him a proper cuddle - with both hands! (He used to only get a strange, half a head cuddle type thing!)
I also have a daughter (7) and it’s great for me to be able to hold her and my son’s hand when out walking, instead of having my hands on the pushchair.
I also want to say that it’s not only good for breastfeeding, it’s great for bottle feeding too,,,,,,,,as I can now wash, sterilise and make up bottles without my baby screaming from his moses basket. He is now right up beside me!
I don’t know how I managed with my other two children when I didn’t have this sling….wish I'd discovered it years ago, I might need to have more kids now, so I can get the use out of it!!!
Thanks again,
Sharon x
The Freedom Sling is the most versatile sling around. As the mother of twelve (12) children over the past 23 years, I must have seen and tried every type of Baby Carrier on the market, including backpacks, baby pouches, etc. and it took me until the birth of my last baby to find one that meets the needs of both me and my baby.
When I first discovered the Ring Sling my first impressions were that it was too good to be true, the simple design of it made me doubt its capabilities, DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS SLING, it took me just one wearing of it with my baby to appreciate that for all its simplicity this sling actually really works! It is the most comfortable and practical baby carrier I have ever worn.
Recent email received from happy Freedom Sling wearing mum:
I received sling this morning- very impressed. had lots of admiring comments whilst picking up our other kids from school and our baby Beatrix loves it. even though I'm a fan of our much used 'wilkinet' carrier your sling is much easier and versatile. thanks for a brill product that I will recommend.

The Freedom Slings ring sling is as accommodating for a newborn as it is for an older baby as it allows the baby to lie horizontally across mum to be fed or to sleep. My youngest Saoirse, now over a year old can still lie and be breastfed or sleep in her Freedom Sling (perfect for when we are out shopping and have a toddler and bags or even a buggy to be attended to).
From Sitting, toFed................Sleeping to Bed...............
As can be seen from the above pictures, if your baby becomes hungry or falls asleep in the sling there is no need to remove either the baby or the sling to change position all that is required is a simple one handed adjustment of the rings. If you then need to transfer your baby to either their cot or perhaps car seat, as you can see from above this again is easily done without disturbing your baby, the sling can then be used as a cosy blanket if required.
THIS REALLY IS THE ONLY SLING YOU WILL EVER NEED........ Freedom Slings, the Slings that Grow with your Baby®.(see pics below)
Please note at Freedom Slings we use only pictures of our OWN slings on all our listings. Therefore what you see is what you will receive NOT an inferior version of any of the slings pictured. Unfortunately not all sellers on eBay are as honest, with some using other people’s pictures to sell their own make of sling, often not even typical of the type they are actually selling!

Why use the 'Freedom Sling' Baby Carrier?
It is designed by a mum with mums (& Dads) in mind. It is far more versatile, natural and most importantly comfortable for both wearer and baby than conventional carriers.No more straps that cut into your shoulders and put strain on your back because unlike other slings/carriers it spreads the weight of the baby across your back and shoulders. This Freedom Sling is a fully adjustable ring sling and can be used to carry your baby in front, hip, back, reclining, nursing and kangaroo positions.A Freedom Slings instructional CD is included with your sling, making it easy to use from day one and assisting you through all the different carry positions, along with other useful advice and helpful links. The Freedom Sling can be used from Birth to Over Two Years (approx35lbs).
Love it!!! Thank you so much my back has been saved and excellent service x x x
This is an extremely versatile sling. For extra comfort the top and bottom of the Freedom Sling can be independently adjusted for a perfectly customised fit for both Mum and Dad. The Freedom Sling is perfect for nursing, as its tail allows for feeding your baby discreetly. The Freedom Sling folds small enough to allow it to be carried in a changing bag, handbag or glove box. It is quick and easy to put on and take off.
The best part of the sling is as the name suggests FREEDOM your hands are free to get on with other things, especially if your baby is like mine and won't stay in her buggy and constantly wants to be held or if you have a toddler or older children who still require attention when baby is being fed. And that's another thing, most couples can share a sling - I am 5'7" and a size 12 -14 (on a good day). My husband is a large-framed at 6'3" and we both use the same sling.Please note I can make slings longer or shorter if required at no extra cost.I have made slings for ladies size 32+.
All my slings are made of quality fabrics in colours to suit every fashion need.
This listing is for the standard size sling.
Standard size slings accommodate ladies UK dress size 10 through to 20 inclusive (men’s size small through to xlarge).
Please email me if you need a size outwith this size.
