Oopa Slings

Hip and Trendy Ring Slings You and Baby Will Both Love.

Oopa Baby slings are designed to meld traditional baby-carrying methods with the right amount of panache and modern-day flair. Each Oopa baby sling is made entirely by hand, no two are ever alike. The Oopa sling will keep both you and baby warm and cuddly all year long!

Why push your warmth-seeking little one in a stroller when you can carry him or her comfortably for hours in the cozy cocoon-like Oopa Sling? You’ll love feeling baby so close and your little one will enjoy being near you throughout the day. Ditching the stroller and opting for a stroll with the Oopa Sling is a great way to bond with you baby and enjoy lots of fun activities – like walking, hiking, or shopping.

Why baby wearing is so important: Through touch and smell, a baby bonds to his parents, beginning the foundation of the parent-child relationship. Holding, talking, singing, rocking, cuddling and other nurturing interactions all help to strengthen this bond.

When you "wear" your baby: holding her close through the use of a baby sling or other carrier – you create opportunities to practice these bonding activities. Your sensitivity to her needs and understanding of her language increases because you are in constant and close contact.

The signature Oopa Sling look: Oopa Baby slings are designed to have a long, flowy "tail." This is the part of the sling that hangs down from the rings, which you pull on to make the sling tighter or looser around your baby. Oopa tails transform a basic baby carrier into something between a fabulous shawl and an entirely innovative fashion accessory. We design them this way in part to add just a hint of glamour to new-mommy life, and in part to be sure there is plenty of fabric to cover Baby's head from the elements, or to provide space for discreet nursing in public. You may also notice that many Oopas carry our signature fabric detail along the bottom portion of the tail.

Oopas are intended to be "one-size-fits-most" and measure between 84"-86" in length and 29"-32" in width.

Oopa Baby uses pre-tested aluminum rings, designed to withstand up to 300 pounds (although our recommendation is to carry no baby over 35 pounds in a baby sling).
