Covers for baby slings and baby carriers

What is a babywearing cover?

During cold weather, especially in autumn and winter, a babywearing cover (fleece or softshell) is an excellent way to protect your baby after placing them in a sling or ergonomic carrier. A baby sling cover takes up very little space, is easy to use and is an affordable alternative to babywearing jackets.

What are the advantages of baby sling and carrier covers?

• Weather protection – a fleece cover keeps your baby warm, while a softshell babywearing cover additionally protects against wind and rain. Your baby stays warm and dry even in unfavorable conditions.
• Extra insulation – an additional layer is especially important on colder days, improving comfort during longer walks or outdoor activities.
• Quick removal indoors – you can easily take the cover off when entering a store, café or car, without disturbing your baby.
• Versatility – a fleece cover is a budget-friendly alternative to babywearing coats and works with front and back carrying positions, both in slings and ergonomic baby carriers.

How to choose a babywearing cover? Fleece or softshell?

Little Frog offers two types of babywearing covers:

• Little Frog fleece babywearing cover – made from thick, high-quality fleece. It is the most universal option and fits ring slings, woven wraps and ergonomic baby carriers. It attaches around the parent’s neck using Velcro, and the fit is adjusted to the baby using a stopper system. The cover includes a convenient front pocket. See examples here: Little Frog fleece covers.
• Little Frog softshell babywearing cover – made from windproof, rainproof and cold-resistant softshell fabric (similar to technical outdoor jackets). Perfect for rainy, snowy or windy days. This softshell cover attaches to carrier shoulder straps or sling passes using snaps, then adjusts to the baby with an elastic system. It also includes a practical front pocket.
