Free Shipping on all Zolowear baby slings

Christine — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 03:49:06 +0000

Our entire stock of Zolowear baby slings is set to ship free.
There is no coupon code required- the deal is automatically applied.

Here is a selection of our 16 fabric colors. Most Zolowear slings are strong cotton with a little bit of stretch, but there are also 3 choices in silk brocade, 2 UV-protective summer slings, and 3 organic choices from their sustainable production line.

All are suitable for newborns up to 2 or 3. They are incredibly well-constructed and safety tested into the hundreds of pounds for weight, but realistically, once your child is 30 or 35 pounds, you’ll both rather have her walk!

Video help for any type of baby sling

No matter what brand of baby sling you were given or are thinking about buying, if you are having any trouble figuring it out, here are two good sources of video instructions online.

Using a sling can be very easy from the start, but some people need the visual help.

I promise, once you get going, it will become second nature! When my first child was several weeks old, I was stumped by the sling. I got help in person and suddenly it made so much sense! Baby was soothed and I felt comfortable and had my hands free again. What a lifesaver!

Zolowear slings in the USA

Christine — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 18:47:08 +0000

Zolowear blogged today about their commitment to producing their slings in the US.

All Zolowear products are made in Texas, even though so many companies are manufacturing abroad now, and the blog post explains how they answer questions about their decision not to do the same.

This photo shows a 5 month old baby in a Zolo silk sling. The color is Java, and they call it “lite” because it is one layer of fabric and they used to be made in two layers.

Trista from The Bachelor TV show wears a Zolowear solarveil sling.

Follow this link to the photo and quote at the official Zolowear blog.

FYI, solarveil is UV protective fabric, it is ultra light and very quick drying. It’s an especially useful baby item at summertime. It is a bit less expensive than then decorator fabrics.

Sustainable Berry plum Zolowear sling Two gorgeous new arrivals here- Berry and Stone Zolowear slings, both just now added to Zolo’s sustainably grown cotton line. That means earth-friendly 100% organic cotton twill that comes from sustainable farming methods. The jewel-toned Berry looks and feels smooth and luscious. Well, the Stone feels that way too, but with a more gender-neutral color. Both have black sling rings and the strong zipper pocket.

The newcomers join the hemp/cotton Sable Brown sling so we now carry all three of Zolowear’s organic solid slings.

Zolowear picked for Preemie magazine 1/07

Under the title “fun for the whole family” that is a turquoise blue solarveil ring sling and the quote is “Every family member will want a chance to “wear” your baby in the beautiful ZoloWear sling. Their mesh version keeps babies cool and blocks 70-80% of UVA/UVB sun rays.”

Solarveil is the UV protective fabric that is also a quick-dry mesh ideal for use around the water.

9/20/07 Sadly, the only US mill that makes this special fabric just announced it’s closure so we probably won’t be able to restock these next summer. For now, we do have pink and khaki remaining.
