All Storchenwiege Baby Slings come with
a free instructional DVD. The instructions differ from others on the market as they give some extra hints in tying the sling. This is great for beginners as well as "Sling Fanatics."
The
instructions were developed with the help of a certified teacher of
baby wearing from the Dresden, Germany, school of baby wearing
instructors.
Unique, beautiful patterns and colors.
The company's founder and fabric developer is a textile engineer, a father, and grandfather. His love for his profession and children shows in every Storchenwiege Baby Sling as it lovingly embraces your family with
just one simple knot.
All cotton used in the Storchenwiege Baby Sling is from
strictly regulated cotton farms and are all Oeko Text 100 certified cotton, free from chemicals or residue in the fabric.
In both directions (warp and woof ) of the cross weave
Storchenwiege uses a double strength,
not simple thread. All other wraparound baby slings use the double
strength yarn only in one direction. This helps support baby's back,
the correct leg positions, baby wearer's shoulders and back better than
other wrap style slings.
Not only does the strong weave help the durability of the baby sling, it also
holds the tied knot better as it doesn't give after the baby is placed in it.
This special weave
does not influence the elasticity which is necessary to embrace your baby. Neither does it influence the airflow through the woven fabric.
The
fabric is prewashed and preshrunk.
This ensures the fabric has a minimal shrinkage of 2.5%. Most fabrics
have far more. Especially for a woven wraparound style sling this is
essential in knowing the fabric length is right for you before washing
the sling and not being able to exchange it after.
All slings are
washed and dried without tension on the fabric.
No chemicals are used in any of the proceedure.
Storchenwiege is manufactured in Sachsen, Germany, under strict environmental regulations. German manufacturing alone stands for the highest quality possible.
Storchenwiege Baby Slings are
Oeko Text 100 certified
Storchenwiege Baby Slings have a
double hemline for durability and the correct embracing of your baby's back and leg position.
All Storchenwiege Baby Slings have
tapered ends to ensure easy tying. They form a parallelogram.
Looks new after many washes and years of use. Other brands look quite washed out after only one year of use.

Most women can tie everything with a 4.10 m or 4.60 m. For men wearing babies a size 4.60 m or 5.20 m works best. It is best to get the most comfortable size for the main baby wearer, everybody else still has plenty of options.
