Baby sling

A baby sling or baby carrier is a cloth device, usually of adjustable length, used to carry a baby securely against the carrier's body. Slings have been used for millennia. They are usually made of soft fabric, and wrap around the carrier's chest. Slings provide comfort and support for the baby and allow the parent or carer to keep their hands free as they go about their everyday tasks.

There are a wide variety of carriers available from wraps and ring slings to soft structured carriers and mei tais.

The use of a baby sling has been called babywearing.
