What Parents Say About the New Native® Baby Carrier

"I'm a new mother and new Ph.D. My daughter was born on April 25, 2007. I was in the middle of revising my dissertation when I went into labor. Thanks to my New Native baby carrier, two weeks after her birth I was able to sit at the computer and finish my dissertation. After many hours of baby-wearing, I finished my dissertation manuscript. I had free hands and a happy baby at the same time! Thank you for such a great tool for new moms."
Sincerely,
Zara

"Bailey(my dog) loves her new carrier! shes only 4 pounds and it's been hard to find one that she is comfortable in but this defiantly works for both of us! I'm
so glad i found this!"
Thanks!

"Hi New Native,
We LOVE our baby carriers because our baby LOVES them! He becomes calm and content just as soon as he recognizes we are placing him in there to hold him close."
Thank you!

"Hi my name is Kate and I just wanted to let you know how much my son Noah and I love the New Native Sling! Noah loves hanging out in the sling all
over town!! I had to send this cute pic of him in his favorite mode of
transportation!"

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you so very much for your wonderful
product! Words are not enough to tell you how much my husband and I,
and baby love this sling! We have 2 other slings- and only find that
we use yours everyday. Our baby- Hailey loves yours the best.
Whenever we take her out- we are able to do so without the use of the
stroller- because the New Native Sling is so comfortable for both of
us to wear. It is easy to clean, to take along because it is not at
all bulky- and so easy to use. I have another wrap that I just am not
comfortable with at all and I know how to use it! An added benefit:
this sling is safe! She is snug in the New Native sling and is beyond
content, no matter what I am doing or where we are. After trying a
bunch of different slings...yours is the best.
Everywhere we go, people stop to ask us where we got ours from...and I
have given them your website address. I have been able to nurse in
public- and so discreetly. I also have been able to take our dog for
mile long walks each night- with baby comfy in her sling the whole
way.
At home, I am able to do housework, play with our son, you name it-
and she is content. We have been using this sling since she came home
from the hospital and will continue to do so. Hailey is now 4 months
old- and is able to be worn in the kangaroo carry now- and has so much
fun looking around.
I just can't say enough about your product and will happily send other
customers your way! Thank you, Thank you, thank you for creating such
a fantastic product!"
Take care of you!!!

"Hi, I thought you might like the attached – our daughter loves the sling, both for napping and just for looking around and taking it all in. The sling is the best purchase I made."
Thanks!

"I am a mother of one TWO year old with another on the way. I was given a New Native Baby Carrier as a baby shower gift. As I got to looking at it to get fimilar with for the new one on the way, I relized I can use it with my son...NOW...Even though I am 7 months pregnant. It makes "putting a baby on my hip" so much easier with my bulging belly... I love this thing so much!"
Mel

"I purchased your sling over 2 years ago and have been meaning to tell you ever since that I absolutely love it! It is my favorite baby shower gift to give.
I love how easy it is to use. My children love it and are so comfortable in it, they usually fall asleep.
I just wanted to thank you. Without this product I don't know how I would ever get anything done with my 2 yr old and 7month old."
Thanks,
Sara

"Thank you for your great slings, my husband and I would both be lost without them. We don't even own one of those crazy, bulky, detachable infant car seats. We feel bad for the babies (and their parents) that have all those 'plastic parents' ;)"
Missy

"I just wanted to give you guys some feedback on your baby carrier. My daughter and I LOVE it!!!! Thanks so much for providing this excellent product and for the great customer service."
Your loyal customer,
Frances

"We both love the NNB carrier. I found it very difficult to use when Glen was a newborn: he seemed to be lost in the pouch and have little head support.
Instead I used a Snuggli and then waited until he filled out a little and
could support his head better. from then on the carrier worked great! it
takes some experimenting to get baby and you to find the right positions,
but it was so versatile and could accommodate a lot of different styles of
carrying. I have to say, I only felt comfortable trying other ways of
carrying him with the carrier once he was strong and walking (at 10months!).
I would still be using it now that he is 20 months, but I misplaced the
carrier somewhere and am ordering a new one to replace it!!
Now that he walks a lot, we do short hikes. It would be nice to have the
carrier on hand again so that when he eventually gets tired of walking I can just hoist him up in the carrier instead of lugging around a cumbersome
stroller or carrying him in my arms. I used to leave the house with the
carrier over my shoulder like a bag so it was there ready to use when need
be. I would even tuck in a water bottle and a book in the pouch which then he would carry if I put him in the carrier. So without baby it can work as a floppy purse too!"
All the best. Keep up the great product.

"WOW! I never thought I'd receive my order so quickly!!! Thank you, this will be a lifesaver tonite when I try to fix dinner! My baby loves to be held and I just can't get the simplest tasked finished since I'd rather hold him than fold laundry!!! We are so very excited to use your sling!"

In much appreciation,"

"I wanted to say how much I love this sling! Before I had my daughter, I was very interested in the concept of babywearing and using slings. However, I didn't really like the look of the ring-slings with long tails and bulky padding. The idea of wearing baby in a sling appealed to me, but honestly, I considered it a "hippie" thing to do. I was SO wrong!
Though in the beginning I was a little hesitant to wear it out....because I rarely see people in my city with slings. I quickly began wearing it and 1---loved it SO much and 2----everyone would stop me and ask me where I got it. The design of the New Native is sheek and lightweight and I think looks very hip and trendy...not too earthy at all! I don't mean to put down earthy people at all...I just think that many people immediately reject the idea of slings because it seems too "hippie" or just for those who practice attachment parenting.
I wanted to post this endorsement of the New Native for people like me, who may think that a sling is not for them. Give it a try...go up to people with the sling and ask to take a look (I even had a someone in a grocery store ask if I wanted to "try on" her baby!). My daughter (now 6 months) beams when I pull out the sling, and she is actively engaging and exploring the world around her. There are so many types of people with different parenting styles...and slings are for all of us! Thanks!"

"Just dropping you a note to let you know how much I love my New Native Baby carriers - we have a small and a medium and now are using them with our newest addition, 2 week old Georgia. We got them when our twins were toddlers and wanted to be carried all the time but were getting too heavy to do so comfortably. The slings resolved that problem. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. We recommend them to all our friends having wee ones.
warmly,"
Sarah

"We just adopted our beautiful 18 month old daughter from Belarus. I bought your sling in anticipation of our adoption and was more than happy to pack it with us. What a lifesaver! My hands were free as we stood in numerous lines for paper work and it was much easier than the stroller we brought for the cobblestone streets. Now that we have been home nearly three weeks, I'm even more in love with the Sling. It's great for keeping her close while shopping or doing housework. She gets so excited when she sees me taking it out. I guess she already knows that it's good to be close to Mama."

"My one month old daughter, and I love this carrier! In only two days, she has been calmer, both in and out of the carrier. She has slept more the past two nights and cried less the past two days. Now my hands are free to hold my three year old son at the same time I'm holding the baby! That makes him feel better too. I definitely recommend this carrier."

"The carrier is wonderful. The best I've tried and I've probably tried 15 kinds. Thanks so very much, you have helped make a happier baby and Mom."
Aileen

"Thank you so very much for your terrific product! When I first purchased the New Native® Baby Carrier, I needed something to carry my son that wouldn't cause my upper back to ache. Now seven months later, my son prefers the carrier over the stroller or backpack, so I always carry it with me wherever I go."
Kelli

"I can't express enough how much I love (and how much my baby loves) the carrier. I wear her everywhere. In fact, I was able to comfortably carry her in it on a 6 mile hike! Nursing her in the carrier gives my arms the extra support they need, plus it offers added privacy for nursing in public."
Miriam and Eliana,

"Hello! I just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I like your carrier. We really appreciate how easy it is to use - no buckles or ties to worry about. It is amazing that your carrier fits both of us, since I am five-foot two-inches tall and my husband is six foot two-inches tall. Everywhere we go, people are as interested in the carrier as in the baby! Thank you for your friendly service, fast shipping and wonderful product".
Janis

"When I was pregnant with my son, I started the search early for the 'Perfect Baby Carrier' and after trying many different types the first few months, found the New Native® Baby Carrier to fill all our needs
1) Sam snuggles right into it, safe and sound
2) I can have both hands free,
3) if he is out of it, I forget I have the carrier on and it blends into what I'm wearing, and
4) he looks so adorable peeking out that people are always stopping with positive comments.
Even though he is now 8 months and wants to practice his new skill of standing all the time, the carrier comes in handy for that - he puts his feet in the pouch and I hold him around the middle with one hand, still leaving one hand free to hold on to my daughter's hand.
Thanks again for a great product!"

"I just wanted to take the time to let you know how much I enjoy and appreciate the New Native® carrier! I've never been a sling fan- too awkward, bulky, too much material to mess with - but had seen pictures of your carrier in magazines and was always impressed with not only how comfy mom looked, but how happy the babies always looked too. So I decided that, with my third child, I'd try this sling. He loves it, I love it. I put him in there and it's clear that he's just happy as a clam, and I think he thinks he's back in the womb - he even 'purrs' when he's in there, after falling asleep immediately. I like that there's no clip, it's sleeker and more fitted, and I have a bad back too, and so far (baby only weighs about 9lbs at this point - he's two weeks old), no back strain!"
P.S. Also, I ordered my sling through my local consignment store, and it was at the store the next day! Way to go!"

Dear New Native®,
"I just wanted to tell you how much I love the carrier. I got it when my baby was a few days old, and have used it every day since. We use it when we want to go for a walk in the nice sunshine. We use it when we want to go downtown and get some errands done. We use it when she is fussy after feeding and needs some calming. We use it when I go to someone’s house so she will feel "at home". We use it all the time!
Anyway, it is so well made that once I settle my little girl in I am ready to go and use my two hands.... I never worry that she will fall out. Your carrier has been a life-saver and a Daphne-soother! Thanks!"

"I used the carriers yesterday at the Ped. Office and wore them both together, I LOVE IT!!! It actually is easier than wearing one, they balance each other out, and my arms are not aching any more. I was in the office for two hours and wore them most of the time (they are 20 lbs each). It is so nice to not have them wanting down (in the dirty germy office hahahaha) It was wonderful not to have to haul out the stroller that they would only be in for five minutes and then want out of. It really is hard to go out and get around with two non-walking babies, and this carrier has been such a blessing!! I have told all my twin mommy friends, since it is so hard to practice attachment parenting with two infants.
Thanks again."
Tina

"This carrier is great! Our eight week old baby is very cute, but very, excitable. When nothing else will settle her, the sling will. I can even carrier her with confidence while I do research in the university library (daring, eh?). And thank you so much for offering your factory seconds. The discount brought the carrier into a price range that is affordable for a couple of students. Not that the sling isn't entirely worth $48 -- it sure as heck is; just that we don't have that much right now!!"
Tara

"We have a 3-month old little guy and have been using your carrier since birth. It is such a great carrier. Nolan calms down right away and falls asleep or looks out to check out what's around him when we go somewhere. Every parent we meet asks us where we got it...it's so great. Since Nolan likes to be suspended so much, after a walk we sometimes just hang him on a chair and he'll sleep in there for hours. It looks hilarious and works for us."
Justin, Nolan and Uta

"I wanted to thank you so much for making your carriers!! I recently received one as a gift from my co-workers and life has dramatically changed for me, my 18 month old and my 2 month old. My back feels better, my 2 month old is happy and secure in my carrier and I can keep up with my 18 month old. We just returned from a trip back east and that carrier was a lifesaver! Friends, family and strangers were all interested in how I was wearing my baby and I proudly praised your sling! I have highly recommended this carrier and given out your website info to anyone/everyone who would listen and will continue to do so. I can't tell you how happy we are with our new carrier. I really do feel that it has made a huge difference in the quality of our lives. I won't leave home without it! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
With huge appreciation,

"To everyone at New Native®:
Thank you so much for making this product! It's the one thing that I bought for me and my son that I absolutely cannot live without. I've given out your 800 number so many times in the past four months. People stop me on the street all the time to ask me how I like the carrier. No need to ask how my son likes it because he's so happy in it.
Anyway, I really had to thank you because your product made being a first time mom so much more enjoyable."

Dear Nancy,
"I would love to share my story with you. My Mom and I have been trying to come up with a hands free solution to carrying babies. I looked everywhere for a safe and comfortable carrier that did not drowned you or the baby. This morning on Good Morning America I saw something that was perfect, it was your carrier. My mom and I know a lot about babies I have three children of my own but, my mother has had over 100 foster babies. These little ones need to be held close so that they can learn how to bond. Many of them have also had special needs like drug affects, downs, and C.P.
Thank you for making such a wonderful product.
Thank you so much."
Laurie Anne

"My fourth child is one month old and we have been doing a lot of gardening together since I purchased your carrier. I've carried all my other children with the Nojo BabySling but it is pretty bulky and when I saw your simple design, I knew it would be a great fit. I also like how portable it is. I place it right in the diaper bag and I have it with me when ever I need it. It makes for a content baby and a happy mom."
