what if mom and dad are different sling sizes?
what size am I?
To find your blue celery™ sling size, consult the table with your fitted t-shirt size, or
weight and height. The blue celery™ baby sling should fit snug but not tight. If the sling
is not comfortable or baby does not feel secure, you have the wrong size!
Most moms and dads who are one size apart can comfortably wear the same blue celery™
sling size. We suggest fitting the sling to the primary wearer using the size table. Then let
comfort guide you for additional wearers.

is not a hands-free hold, so please be
sure to hold baby securely.
