Bean Pod

Carrying newborns and infants requires a lot of care and can impact on their early growth.  At Bean Pod, we have designed slings that offer infants a safe, natural, and comfortable ride.

Sling carriers are the most natural way to carry a baby.  Your baby's body will sit and curve in the sling, wrapped up in the same position and with the same support as he or she was in the womb. 

It is particularly important to use a sling for the first 3 months of a child's life (or even longer for premature babies) to promote natural spinal development during this time.  Carrying a baby younger than 3 months vertically may put unwanted pressure on his or her spine and may affect the child's development.  Also, some carriers are designed to carry a child in a way that forces the child to spread its legs apart.  This is also not ideal for the undeveloped spine, pelvis and thigh bones of the child.

Whether you decide to carry your baby in a sling or not, please try not to carry your child vertically for prolonged periods of time. 

Here are just a few benefits of using a sling:

     it promotes bonding with the carrier, which is a must have for parents who want to encourage 'attachment parenting' or 'babywearing'

     it has been said that sling carried babies are more alert and learn faster than babies who are placed in a bassinet most of the time.  Your baby will learn from the carrier's daily actions which in turn stimulates the baby's brain.  On top of having a smarter child, it is also believed that it also helps with the child's speed of development since he or she is always listening to the carrier's conversations

     great for breastfeeding in public.  The tail of the sling can cover your body which will significantly reduce the chance in exposing your body while your baby is enjoying his or her meal

     easy to transport around.  It is lightweight and easy to transport your baby around while you are on the go

     hands-free carrying.  Just like all babies, your baby will want to be held.  Using a sling will give your baby all the cuddles he or she wants without having to use your hands, so you can still read a book in one hand and hold a biscuit in the other hand while your baby is enjoying the carrying

Now's it's time to shop!

At Bean Pod we believe all babies are the beans in our pods. We offer stylish and practical slings that are comfortable for the carriers and the babies.

The unique features of our slings:

      our slings are padded on the shoulder to cushion the weight of the baby and reduce the strain on the carrier's shoulder

      one side of the sling is sewn in a green colour to make it easy to know which side to pull/release in order to adjust the tension of the sling

      the detachable pouch comes with a clip that can be easily hooked on the rings or the eye inside the shoulder pad for easy access of keys, wallets, pacifiers, etc

      all our slings are made with 100% cotton to minimise skin irritation for your baby.  Rings are no-weld constructed solid aluminum rings and are tested to hold up to 250 pounds

      unlike pouch slings, the size of our slings can be adjusted with the rings to accommodate the size of growing babies and different carrying positions
