Best Baby Sling For Indoors 2022 | by the Baby Carrier & Sling Experts

Baby carriers and slings are great for getting out and about, but you’re also very like to need a comfy baby sling for indoors, too. Newborns are made to be carried; it’s biologically normal and hugely beneficial for them to be carried and held for long periods. So whilst many parents think of carriers as being for traveling or long walks, you may want and needs use a sling or carrier than you think.

Babies generally nap for longer and are more settled when carried. Slings are great for helping digestive discomfort and a perfect way to comfort a baby who’s teething. The last thing you want when you’re stuck at home is a grouchy baby!

Keeping your baby secured close to you as you get chores (or even work) done will help keep them engaged and stimulated when the scene isn’t otherwise changing very much. Older babies love to get involved and a hip or back carry will help them to feel part of the action.

Most importantly, if your little one is unwell all they’ll want is hugs, reassurance and to be close to you 24-7. Life with a tired, teething or sick baby is definitely easier when you’ve got a good sling to support you!

What’s the best baby sling for using indoors?

For a baby sling around the house, you want something easy, not too bulky and that you can comfortably sit down in. Maybe even something you could use to do a babywearing dance or gentle exercise class if you need some activity too!

3. BEST CHEAP BABY SLING FOR INDOORS: MINIMONKEY MINI SLING

The Minimonkey Mini Sling is a super-compact front and hip carrier suitable from newborn to (small) toddler. It basically works like a ring sling, but its easier for most people to get the hang of and is more lightweight. This neat, quick-drying mesh sling allows you to carry your baby in a natural, ergonomic position. Perfect for around the house and quick-up-and-downs when you’re popping to the car or local shop. It weighs the same as a mobile phone at just 175g and is absurdly good value.

5. BEST BABY SLING FOR ‘UP-AND-DOWN’ BABIES AND TODDLERS: RING SLINGS

If you’re a bit more adventurous then we’d really recommend trying a ring sling. These are brilliant for any stage or situation when you’d be carrying your baby or toddler on your hip. A hip carry allows your little one to share your view of the world, and share their experiences with you. It’s super social and also super snuggly and huggy feeling for those who are needing closeness and comfort. You can use rings slings from newborn, though we find them easiest from 4 months right up to 3-4 years. Check out our colourful Little Frog and beautiful organic Didymos Ring Slings.

6. BEST INDOOR BABY SLING FOR TWINS: THE MINIMONKEY TWIN CARRIER

If you’ve got two little ones to juggle then the Mini Monkey is great. Specifically designed to carry twins with one baby on each hip, this carrier is supportive and surprisingly simple (once you’ve got the knack – it does take a little bit of practice at first). The newest version of this carrier is made from even more lightweight fabric so there’s no unnecessary bulk when carrying two.

Newborn twins are best carried using a stretchy wrap – the Izmi Wrap is great for this. For a lightweight option with older twins, try using two Izmi/Connecta/Integra carriers – one on the front and one on the back!

    Learning to use a ring sling is deceptively simple. It requires a bit of a learning curve, as you tweak and fidget the linen band around your baby s body and adjust the tension through the ring, and you ll need to use it a few times before the linen breaks down and becomes more soft and comfortable. Once you get the hang of it, it s by far the smallest carrier to pack, and it s easy to throw it over your shoulder, quickly tuck your infant in it, and pick up some milk at the store.
