The Tricot-slen is a long wrap made of cotton jersey that you can wear in various ways. In addition to the four carrying methods of the Tri-cotti, you can carry your baby in two other ways with the Tricot-slen: sitting straight-up with curled legs (the so-called kangaroo position) or on the back.

 

It is suitable for carrying children from 0 until 24 months (about 15 kg)
The Tricot-slen divides the weight of the baby over the abdomen and the hips. As a result, the Tricot-slen is extremely suitable for carrying older children for a longer period of time.

De Tricot-Slen offers many possibilities:

  • The carrying sling is approximately 5.50m long. There are no buckles or buttons so nothing can be too tight or jammed. The benefit of this length is that children can be carried from birth until about two and a half years or older. It will fit everybody wanting to carry.
  • With the Babylonia slings, you can carry your baby both lying-down and upright. And this is unique! You can carry your baby in it from birth. The first few months, your baby lies comfortably against you in the natural foetal position. Baby's back, neck and head are not burdened, but optimally supported. From approximately three months, the baby can be carried sitting upright. It is then seated on a wide bearing surface, its legs spread and with a rounded back. This is an ideal position for the development of healthy hip joints. Your baby does not hang, but leans relaxed against you.
  • Ergonomic experts agree that a baby should not be forced into a harness. Carrying harnesses in which a baby is strapped vertically are not good for the baby's back because its head pushes down too heavily on the spine at this stage in life . In a sling, like the Tricot Slen, the baby's back is absolutely not burdened: the baby need not carry itself; it simply leans against the parent, without burdening the back.
  • A sling is undoubtedly also the most pleasant carrying system for the parent. The wide cotton slings covering the entire shoulder surface of the two shoulders and completely divide the baby's weight over the upper part of the body. Neck and back are barely or not burdened. The Tricot Slen is therefore also especially suitable for carrying larger children and for longer periods. It allows you to carry your baby effortlessly for hours. There is no daily time limit to how long you can carry your baby in the Tricot Slen. It is entirely up to you. The weight of your body is evenly distributed so that your posture does not have to compensate for carrying your baby.
  • The Tricot Slen allows you to breastfeed discretely.
  • The Tricot Slen takes up so little space that you can always take it with you. When not being used to carry, the Tricot Slen can be used as a blanket for your baby. Being cotton, it will pick up your scent, providing natural comfort for your baby.
  • It is suitable for all climates-100% cotton.
  • The only thing requiring attention at first is learning to put it on. It seems complicated due to it's length but it's not as difficult as it at first seems. Included in the packaging you will find comprehensive and detailed instructions for use (with step-by-step photos) in which the various wrapping methods are clearly described.
