Our Review of the The Peanut Shell Baby Sling
Designed with hip young parents in mind, the stylish and versatile Peanut Shell from Goo-Ga Style, Inc. brings baby slings into the 21st century. Made of smooth and soft cotton sateen and coming in eye-catching designs, the Peanut Shell keeps your baby close and supported - and both of you looking great. This simple yet stylish sling baby carrier has no buckles, no strings, and no clasps to complicate use.
More than just a baby sling for infants, the Peanut Shell can carry an infant intimately and a toddler up to 36 lbs.
The benefits of a carrying your baby in a sling like the Peanut Shell are abundant. Much more than just a head-turner, the Peanut Shell provides you with a level of physical freedom and intimate connection with your baby that strollers simply can't. The Peanut Shell may not have a cup holder, but that's a small price to pay for looking this good while wearing your baby.
Comfort & Convenience features of the Peanut Shell
Infant children fit snugly inside the Peanut Shell's padded pouch - warm, close, and protected. Parents can wear this baby sling in any one of five different positions. The adaptable Peanut Shell baby carrier works as a sling for newborns and a front, back, and hip carrier for toddlers up to 36 lbs.
In addition to its eye-catching array of colors and designs, the quality construction and detailed finish of the Peanut Shell baby sling makes it one of the more comfortable sling carriers on the market. The Peanut Shell evenly distributes your baby's weight across your back and shoulder, creating a comfortable cradle for your baby without straining your back unnecessarily. Every seam in the Peanut Shell is reinforced for durability and a more comfortable carry.
Extremely convenient to put on or remove, simply sling the Peanut Shell over your shoulder like a messenger bag, make sure the fabric is over your shoulder (not up by your neck) then place your baby inside the "shell". Peanut Shell maker Goo-Ga Style, Inc. also included a handy little pocket on the outside of the sling for your phone or keys.

Comparison
Because of it's versatility, the Peanut Shell is more like a baby wrap than a standard baby sling. The Peanut Shell has a distinct advantage over wraps in that it is even less complicated and does not need to be tied in any way to place your child in different 'holds'.
The closest comparison would be the Premaxx New Edition Baby Sling - which is similar in function but nowhere near as stylish as the Peanut Shell.

Does size really matter?
YES!!! You really need to have the right size. This is the most important step for successful and comfortable use of the Peanut Shell®. If you have a Peanut Shell® that is too big your baby will not feel secure and will ride too low on your body. This is not only unsafe for your child but may also lead to back and/or shoulder discomfort. If the sling is too small you won't even be able to get the baby in or will feel like you can't breathe. Keep in mind that the correct fit of the Peanut Shell® should feel snug with baby inside and if you are new to sling wearing you may even think it is too small.
Using a soft measuring tape, measure from one shoulder to the OPPOSITE hip bone to help determine your Peanut Shell® size. Also, measure your upper chest circumference, above the largest part of your bust (under your armpits); DO NOT USE YOUR BRA SIZE OR MEASURE "OVER" THE FULLEST PART OF YOUR BUST. If you do not have a tape measurer, use a piece of string and a standard ruler (or metal tape measurer) to measure yourself. For men's sizing follow the same guidelines.
Please keep in mind that sizing is VERY personal and each person has their own preferences. *Most will take either a medium or large. If you have a sizing question, please send us a quick email: info@childcarriers.com and we will help you determine the size you need.
