A baby carrier library and carrying consultancy providing advice and supporting you to find and fit the best baby carrier / sling for you and your little one(s).
A well fitted, comfortable carrier can make a world of difference by giving you back your hands whilst baby sleeps on you, helping to soothe in those difficult times, the freedom of buggy-free travel as well as just making the most of those close snuggles as your baby grows!
But the key is finding the right one for you! And getting the correct advice to ensure you get the most out of it.
I’m Charlene – a mum of four, experienced baby-wearer, Slingababy certified carrying consultant and I’m here to help take the guesswork out of finding and fitting the best carrier for you and your baby.
I have a consultation to suit your needs!
Designed for more confident baby wearers, looking for either a refresher course or to troubleshoot smaller issues and/or try on one or two different carriers. It can also be arranged for you to use this time to look at a wider range of carriers in the comfort of your own home.
Suitable for someone who is looking to try 2/3 simple buckle carriers or for a more experienced baby wearer who is looking to brush up on existing skills. This option may also suit someone who knows exactly what they want, to look at the basics of a FWCC in a woven wrap or get started with a ring sling.
This option is great for a new parent who has never carried before, or someone who wants to perfect their skills/techniques with a woven wrap.
A bespoke consultation focusing on what you need most, please contact us for more information.
– 60 minutes before baby’s arrival covering the benefits of babywearing and different sling options available, looking at and trying a few different carriers out.
– a further 90 minutes after baby’s arrival, when Mum feels ready, including 4 weeks free hire of either a stretchy or caboo. Covering infant positioning, practicing with a weighted demo doll, and fitting baby to your choice of hire carrier
– Optional upgrade to carrier of choice instead of the stretchy or caboo £10 for the 4 weeks.
Paired and Group Consultations – £25 per family (minimum of 2 families). This type of consultation is designed for groups of similar aged babies.
Consultation time varies depending on how many families book on, minimum of 90 minutes for 2 families.
If you are interested in booking a group consultation, for either a group you already have or if you would like me to try and pair you, please get in touch.
If you have any questions about my consultations, maybe you’re unsure what you need or you’d like to discuss a more bespoke package for you, please pop me a message on Facebook, Instagram or you can email me on the link below, I’m always happy to chat!

My availability can vary, but sometimes I may be free as soon as the same or next day!
You can find more information on our Rentals page, however the majority of our hires are £10 for 2 weeks, other more expensive carriers/wraps may cost slightly more.
Prices start from £15 for a quick troubleshooting session, but it’s important to give yourself enough time to cover what you need.
I do travel for home visits, however this depends on your location and may incur a surcharge; I will let you know if this is applicable upon booking.
It may be possible for you to come to me, I am located in ST6. So, if you’d rather not have a home visit this is an option for you.
If a carrier gets damaged, the most important thing to do is to contact me as soon as possible; you may be liable to pay full price for the it depending on the extent of the damage, however if a buckle gets trapped in a car door for example, there may be the option to replace the buckle. I’m easy to talk to and accidents happen, so if something bad happens we can work it out.
