All Joey Sling’s have triple stitched seams, extra bar tacking at both ends of the seams. Bar tacking is super strong and is commonly used when making jeans. Cotton padding for baby’s comfort when in the hip carry position. This is to ensure that the edge of the sling doesn’t ‘dig’ into babies legs and they have a nice soft area to rest their legs on. The padding just runs halfway along the edges so it provides comfort without the bulk.
We use only the best high quality fabrics made from very high superior quality cotton for all our baby slings. You can really feel the difference between Joey Sling and others on the market. We also use a beautiful mercerized cotton stretch drill for our single sided baby slings. Mercerizing is a process performed on fabric that increases its strength and provides a beautiful softness and lustre to the fabric. We selected a 2% mercerized cotton stretch drill when designing our range over the 0%, 1% or 4% that are used on other baby slings on the market as the 2% stretch provided additional comfort to the wearer and baby and did not cause any sagging.
Fabric selection was a very lengthy process and one that took months as we literally bought several types of fabrics and made baby pouch style baby slings with each type of fabric and personally tested each one to determine the most suitable.
Our fabrics are chosen for quality, strength, durability, softness, comfort and style.
Keep in mind when purchasing baby slings, yes there are brands available for $60 or maybe even less but keep in mind what you are getting. Cheap, thin fabric, no extra features, rough surface and very dull looking almost like a potato sack. I wouldn’t carry my baby in Baby slings like that, would you!
Joey Sling baby carriers are designed to carry baby from newborn up to 3 years therefore it is money well invested as you can use it for 1, 2 or even 3 years. The benefit of having a Joey Sling is because the fabric and manufacturing is of such high quality if looked after well it will last for many years to come and can be passed onto friends and family.
Most important – every single Joey Sling is quality checked prior to selling to all our customers.
