The Calin Bleu is a simple baby sling. It is made of a simple piece of fabric, especially selected, dyed, cut, and hemmed to guarantee the parent and the baby’s safety and comfort. However, the Calin Bleu can come in handy in so many other ways..

1. a play mat: fold your Calin Bleu in four and it makes an instant play mat for baby. Left as it and it forms a brilliant a highway for a toddler’s cars (or is it a landing strip at the airport?)
2. a picnic blanket: the baby sling offers plenty of space for salads, sandwiches and everyone to sit on. No need to worry about stains and crumbs, it can easily be washed in the washing machine.
3. an improvised changing mat: no matter how well-prepared, there are always those dreaded occasions when one needs a changing mat when none is to be found! The Calin Bleu doubles as a convenient changing mat.
4. a burping cloth: when out and about, the Calin Bleu can be used as an emergency burping cloth, therefore avoiding walking around the rest of the day with a smelly top.
5. a make shift curtain: worried that the bright light will wake up baby from his nap? Just pop the Calin Bleu over the window.
6. a sun protection in the car or in the buggy: make sure that the baby wrap is folded over several times to offer sufficient sun protection.
7. a beach dress: since the baby wrap can be wrapped around the body to carry the baby, it can also double as an improvised beach dress or towel.
8. a blanket: when baby is cold in the buggy, the Calin Bleu can be folded several times to serve as a blanket. Do not use in a cot or in the car. Make sure that the baby does not get tangled in the fabric.
9. a doll carrier: older siblings love role playing and pretending to be mum or dad to their teddies or dollies.
10. Ten is up to you… how will you use your Calin Bleu baby sling?

Close your eyes for an instant and imagine your baby’s head snuggled up against your chest, his little body tucked up against you in the baby sling. Imagine for an instant meeting up with friends for coffee, getting on the bus without worrying if there is space for your pram. Imagine walking home without worrying that your baby will wake up when you lift him out of the car seat.

Sounds ideal and unrealistic? Well it doesn’t have to be. Using a baby sling for your baby will allow you to keep your hands free. You can keep your baby snuggled up against you and continue doing the things you like doing, inside or outside the house. The Calin Bleu is an excellent baby sling to learn to carry your baby.

The Calin Bleu is extremely soft. The fabric has been especially chosen and dyed in to preserve the fibre’s natural flexibility. The fabric moulds around your baby and your body without creating pressure.

It provides excellent support. The fabric forms wide straps over your shoulder, your back and around your hips to spread your child’s weight effectively.

The Calin Bleu is also remarkably light. At around 1lb it is one of the lightest baby carriers available. It folds neatly in your handbag when you are not using it.

The Calin Bleu offers versatile baby carrying position. Many parents use their baby wrap from birth until toddlerhood. You can carry your child on your front, preferably facing you. You can also carry facing forward for shorter periods of time. Once your baby can sit unaided, you can carry him on your hip. When you feel confident, you can also carry your baby on your back.

Although two sizes are available for convenience, the same baby wrap can be used by parents of different sizes. The parent can choose the carrying method that is the most comfortable for their size.

Your baby wrap can be washed and dried with your regular laundry. The wraps are so light that you can wash it in the evening and it will be dry and ready to use in the morning.

And last but not least, Calin Bleu wraps are extremely good value! Soft, comfortable and versatile, everything you need from your baby sling.

It is still pretty cold out there! Going out with your baby is difficult when you’re worried about the rain, the snow, the cold, the wind (or all of them pretty much at the same time!). You may wonder if your baby will be cold.
