   Had a great experience with The Sling Library, really helped me and my partner figure out the best fit for a baby carrier. The hire option I would highly recommend. We hired for 2 weeks and I was sold on buying one for our little person. The staff are really friendly and have vast knowledge on everything you may have questions on about baby wearing. Highly recommended!

   Great private consultation with Laura last week and super quick/helpful with questions and ordering afterwards! Was able to see and try on loads of different options, hear about advantages and disadvantages of each, cost, get to feel material and padding and see how easy/not easy they were to get on (bump still present!). Couldn't recommend more - allowed me to be a lot happier before making a big purchase and also more confident and encouraged in general about baby wearing!

   We visited the sling library today for a one-hour consultation to find the best baby carrier for our newborn—and it was more than worth it! Hannah was absolutely fantastic—so friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. She took the time to show us several carriers, shared really helpful tips, and made sure we knew how to use each one safely and confidently. We left with a carrier that we really like and feel confident using with our baby. At the end of the session, when our baby stirred, Hannah kindly told us not to rush off and was happy for us to stay so we could feed. As new parents, we really appreciated her warmth and support. There are so many carriers out there, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but this service made all the difference. We highly recommend it—thank you so much, Hannah!

   Wonderful resource for Glasgow families. Got great advice at a sling meet. Hired a sling for two weeks to try. Then bought the same sling second-hand as we loved it. Still going strong 6 months later. Thanks for all you do!

   This is an amazing organization and a godsend for first time sling carriers. I though my baby hated slings, but it turrns out I wasn't adjusting it properly (nor was I using the best sling for my baby). It's great that you can try out slings which they rent for a very decent price for 2 weeks. Buying a sling can be an expensive investment and without trying it out for a while you don't know whether your baby will like it. I highly recommend their consultations - the staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I got lots of practical advice! Being able to carry my baby in a sling saved me a lot of backaches!

   We had a brilliant consultation with Hannah, who helped us find a great new sling that works for me, my partner and our baby. We were really impressed with her preparation and, although she brought along some of the slings we'd wanted to try, we ended up loving one of the ones she suggested that we'd never have found on our own. It was a really fun and informative session.

   We hired a Close Caboo sling from Glasgow Sling Library when our baby was just under 2 weeks old. Gemma and Hannah were really welcoming and had created a warm atmosphere at their new base in Easterhouse where we felt comfortable feeding/changing/settling our new baby. Our visit took slightly longer than we had booked for and they extended the time for us so we could both get confident with our chosen sling. We decided on the Close caboo and got a great deal for renting this for 3 months. The sling has been an absolute lifesaver for us! It’s allowed us to be hands free to get things done around the house, bond with our son, get out and about easily without lugging the pram up and down stairs and most importantly helped us settle him almost instantly when nothing else worked! For the first few months we used the sling every evening during the “witching hour”! We wouldn’t hesitate to use the service again and would recommend to new parents to book a consult!

   Had a great experience with amazing help from Hannah. We went along with our twins thinking there was only one option for us to carry both but she had prepared many. We had to stay distant so she did incredibly well guiding us through the carriers by word alone. I left with a carrier with added support and loaded with more knowledge and confidence to safely carry both my twins. Absolutely delighted! Didn’t think I was going to be able to do the attachment parenting thing with twins but hannah made it possible. THANK YOU

   Glasgow sling library offer such a fantastic service. I had my baby carrier fitted there and they were very professional and friendly. I learned lots of tips and tricks and I feel much more confident now. They are offering outdoor (socially distanced) consultations during the pandemic.
