London Summer Sling Show
The UK only baby wearing expo
Sunday 27 July 2008
The Summer Sling Show returns to central London this July, giving parents the opportunity to test-drive dozens of brands of slings and baby carriers, and helping them learn how they can carry their babies and toddlers in both comfort and style.
This unique event will bring together over 20 sling vendors, many of whose products are usually only available online, enabling parents to “try before they buy” on a whole range of carriers, such as wraps, mei tais and ring slings. Trained baby-wearing consultants will also be on hand to offer professional advice to ensure parents find the right sling for them.
The highlight of the day is set to be the Sling Fashion Show where real mums and dads will model some of the most beautiful makes of sling on offer, demonstrating how easy and stylish carrying your baby can be. The Summer Sling Show will also feature a salsa class where mums dance while carrying their babies in slings.
The Summer Sling Show indicates how the sling is fast becoming the must-have baby accessory. “There is a growing community of mums and dads who are enjoying the style and convenience of baby slings,” explains event co-coordinator, Natalie Blechner. “Not only are they practical on a crowded city street and on public transport, but they are also the height of baby-cool. Available in an unlimited range of fabrics, and with many sling-designers custom-making their products, it is the ultimate item for parents to express their individuality and style.”
Returning for its second year, the Summer Sling Show is organised by a group of London parents who love to carry their babies and toddlers in slings. “The Summer Sling Show 2008 promises to be even bigger and better than last year’s event, with more vendors exhibiting a larger variety of sling,” promises event organiser, Hannah Crittenden. “The organisers are all parents who use slings themselves, and are passionate in promoting babywearing as convenient and beneficial to both parent and child. We are confident that parents will find the right sling for them at the show – dads included.”
The Summer Sling Show is a family-friendly day out. Situated in the heart of London, the venue has free parking, a large area for leaving buggies and baby-changing facilities. Refreshments and homemade organic cakes will be on offer, as well as some fun activities for children. Tickets cost £2.50 for adults/free for children.
