Kin Sling Meets

Our monthly sling meets are informal small group sessions to explore carrying your wee one. Join us for a relaxed chat, a chance to explore other slings and carriers and if you have one bring your sling!

** PLEASE NOTE: Our October meet is all about exploring ringslings with time to have a try in a group setting **

This workshop is intended to provide a general overview of using a ringsling and a chance to practice in a group setting. Due to time constraints we are unable to provide an individual fit check for your own sling at this workshop. Please check back for future dates for our sling social and fit check sessions being added, or give us a follow on Eventbrite to be notified when dates are released.

Whatever your experience of carrying your baby - from pregnancy onwards - this meet up is to chat, learn and discuss carrying experiences together. We suggest a sling walk in the Links afterwards for anyone that is able.

Hosted by Jen, mum of two and experienced babywearer. Not only is Jen passionate about helping others carry their babies and toddlers, she has also undertaken training with Slingababy at consultant level. Our babywearing team is also made up of Ellyse and Anna our volunteer babywearing peer supporters, who will drop in to support any sessions that they can, and there will be a range of different sings and carriers available to find out more.

We have two ticket types for this event, please select the ticket that is right for you. These sessions are free to attend with a fully funded ticket option.
