THE BEST SLING ON THE MARKET. BRILLIANT THANKYOU! A+++++++++++++++++ Buyer: 18-Mar-08 14:35

The padded Freedom sling is unique in it’s design as the specially placed padded rails provide your baby or toddler with extra comfort whilst breastfeeding, sleeping or being carried in the hip carry position. This sling was developed using my personal experience of breastfeeding ALL twelve of my babies (not always problem free and included tandem feeding) and therefor was designed specifically to help overcome any difficulties that breastfeeding may bring, to help make it more relaxed and enjoyable for both mum and baby and most especially for those of you like me who have to be completely handsfree to attend to other children or carry out other tasks whilst still being able to feed your baby safely,comfortably and with privacy. Whilst other padded slings have lightweight padded sides that are useful for feeding, bare in mind that this sling has been specifically designed for the purpose of providing your baby with COMFORTABLE, SECURE, HANDSFREE breastfeeding and also to provide bottlefed babies more comfort whilst being fed in the sling.

 This sling is only available from Freedom Slings....always look for the Freedom label when only the best will do for baby. FREEDOM SLINGS - OFTEN IMITATED NEVER EQUALLED!!

 

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.   

 

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 and 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 ALL reputable sling manufacturers use and also used by many independent WAHM.

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON SAFETY OF ALUMINIUM RINGS - PLEASE READ here....Safety of Aluminium 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.

New to baby wearing and need advice?..Have a look at my eBay review pages or feel free to email or telephone (same phone number as our credit card payment number 01236 780302.) With twelve children of my own, I have made enough expensive mistakes in the past so we will ALWAYS give friendly,helpful and HONEST advice.

Slings are made with beautiful colour co-ordinated rings and are the ONLY rings as recommended in Mothering magazine. The rings are weld-free alluminium 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 lightweight stainless steel rings as advertised by some other sellers on eBay.

Don’t just take my word for it….here is what others have to say about it, showing why it is our best selling sling:

Thank you, my 7 month old looks on as 20 mins later my 2½ year old won’t get out!

Highly recommended product! Baby loves it so much and I can have both hands free!

WOW!! My 15 month old LOVES it!! Will be great for the new baby as well. Thanks

I LOVE my sling…HAPPY baby, HAPPY mommy

Best choice for breastfeeding. Excellent A++++++++++++++

As the old addage says, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are two beautiful pictures send to us by Maddy who recently purchased two of our slings. Maddy had this to say,

Hi Maddy again, thought I'd send another pic for your gallery!  The day it is taken, I managed to attend a workshop at my 6yr old son Charlie's school for two hours with freddy perfectly contented in his sling. The other mummy's couldn't believe it - especially as I could join in with everything! In second picture  - Freddy, 7 weeks old, in bouncy chair after bouncing round Asda in his freedom sling  - bliss!

                               

      

In addition to what the customers say, this was the sling I was wearing whilst shopping at the Glasgow baby show. I had been shopping for hours happily feeding Saoirse in her sling whilst being completely handsfree to carry bags etc. It was there that I met Sharon Trotter midwife, best selling author of ‘Breastfeeding: The Essential Guide’ who asked me if she could endorse the slings. This is what she has to say:

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 cosy. 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.

Sharon Trotter

 

Freedom Slings are the ONLY slings on eBay that carry a named midwife endorsement….don’t be fooled by other slings that make the claim ‘midwife endorsed’ without actually showing the endorsement and naming the midwife!

Hi Margaret! 

Sling arrived and it is excellent! Really glad I requested the longer sling, definitely needed it with being a larger bust size! Emily is pleased with the padding! 

Thank you so much for all of your help! 

Both Emily and I agree the Freedom Sling is our best buy!!!! 

Emma and Emilyxxxxx

 

Did not get name of guy who was so helpful when I rang the other day. I had wanted the murrons pouch due to simplicity but as size difference was so great between me and my wife I thought it best to check out first. Whoever took my call is a star! Thank you for being patient and explaining how we would be better off with a freedom sling and that they really were easy to use. Having had our first play with it we both cannot wait to try it properly in June when baby number 3 is due. Thank you so much and I hope your business continues to thrive. (feel free to quote me..!!! ) :->

Need help and advice on buying a sling? See my website for a brief summary of sling types or read my tips in the eBay reviews.

Please feel free to send questions on any of my carriers.  I ALWAYS answer your questions honestly on whether I think any of the Baby Carriers in my Range will suit you or your baby’s needs. If you would rather speak to me then just include your telephone number and I will call you back, I find this more helpful as I am a people person and not a computer buff (I still need my kids to guide me round eBay, email etc.)

THIS REALLY IS THE ONLY SLING YOU WILL EVER NEED........Freedom Slings, the Slings that Grow with your Baby

         

 

How it came to be

The Freedom Sling is the most versatile sling around. As the mother of twelve (12) children aged 22yrs to 2years, I must have seen and tried every type of baby carrier on the market including backpacks, baby pouches, etc. and took me until the birth of my last baby to find one that meets both mine and my baby’s needs.    

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, but it took only one wearing of this style with my baby to appreciate that for all its simplicity this style actually really works, it is the most comfortable, versatile and practical baby carrier I have ever worn.

 

With eleven other children to look after,  I need to have a carrier which I can rely on to be comfortable, allow me to breastfeed my baby on the move, not restrict my movements ie. I need to be able to use both arms whilst wearing it, be suitable for all the adults at home who want to use it to carry Saoirse ie. Mum, Dad, older brothers and sisters, easy to change Saoirse's position from upright to sleeping without removing the sling and finally as Saoirse does not like to be put down in her cot to sleep during the day one that is easy to transfer a sleeping baby from sling to bed without disturbing her.

 

With all of this in mind I designed the Padded Freedom Sling to do all of this and more. 

I have worn Saoirse in her sling since she weighed just over 5lbs and during this time also worn Faith, then aged 3 1/2 years.  The sling is just as comfortable to wear with a new born as it is with an older toddler.

 

I have added a deep pocket in the tail (I used mine to carry, a nappy, travel wipes, my purse, mobile phone and Saoirse's cup when I go out shopping which saved me carrying a bag!!). 

Freedom Slings can hold and support your baby to allow for breastfeeding on the move ( in my case that usually meant pushing  a shopping trolley, seeing to Faith answering the door etc.!!!)

 

                            

                   

                      From sitting to Fed.....       Sleeping to Bed.....      without being disturbed!!   

 

 

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
