Hipmelon, Hip Melon Baby Wear - Funky Baby Slings, Pouches, Carriers

Reversible - All HipMelon slings are completely REVERSIBLE! Many slings on the market are manufactured using just one layer of fabric, which wears more quickly and is far less cushy than HipMelon's two-layered, reversible, stretch awesomeness! The result: a super high-quality, fashionably funky, double-sided sling. Essentially, you’re getting two slings for one price. Could it get any better??? Back to top

Highest Quality - All HipMelon slings are professionally sewn using the finest quality fabrics, tools and materials. Our construction is second to none. We have no doubt you will proudly (and safely) wear your HipMelon baby. Back to top

Stretchability - Because HipMelon understands the importance of a percentage or two of lycra in any woman’s life, all fabrics used to make our carriers contain a small percentage of lycra, or inherent stretch. In actual fact, the stretch makes HipMelon slings more comfortable for your baby and more comfortable on your neck and shoulder. The stretchability also provides HipMelon slings with an incredible memory, even though yours may have disappeared when baby made his/her debut. Back to top

Exclusive - HipMelon slings are made by hand, not mass-produced. Further, only limited quantities are available in any one style. It's like buying a piece of fine jewelry or a work of art: there are literally only a few editions. Back to top

Social Responsitility - No sweat shop labour here, ma’am. HipMelon recognizes the importance of social responsibility, which is why all HipMelon slings are 100% Canadian-made. Production takes place locally in Calgary, Alberta, ensuring fair pay and fair trade. In addition to this, HipMelon’s packaging is eco-friendly. No plastic or vinyl throw away packaging will ever be used as purely an aesthetic way to package the HipMelon product. We want our HipMelon sling owners to baby wear happy and long, but not at the cost of our environment. Back to top

HipCuff - All HipMelon slings purchased from hipmelon.com include the innovative HipCuff -- a segment of matching/coordinating fabric, which can be secured to your sling. Its purpose is simple: it helps to keep your sling in place on your shoulder, while keeping the sling fabric neat and tidy and out of the way. Its uses don’t stop there; the HipCuff is just as functional as it is funky. Use it as a breastfeeding reminder bracelet: Switch the cuff from one wrist to the other to remind you on which side you last nursed your baby. Use it to accessorize your favourite outfit! It’s fun. It’s chic. It’s so HipMelon! Please note: HipMelon Baby Wear carriers are completely functional with or without the use of the HipCuff. Consider it an added HIP bonus! Back to top

Extended Usage - Why invest in carrier that won’t see much use due to weight and age limitations? Your HipMelon sling will see months, even years, of usage as it can safely be worn from infancy through toddlerhood (up to 35 lbs.) Back to top

Uncomplicated Design - The uncomplicated pouch design makes HipMelon slings extremely easy to use. No clumsy buckles, rings, snaps, or other fasteners to contend with. Simply put it on and you’re prêt a porter (translation: ready to wear)! The learning curve couldn’t be more effortless. French on the other hand, is another story. Back to top

Portability - A HipMelon sling will, in essence, save you time and stress. By having such a portable carrier that's so easy to throw on and use, you will surely be grateful for it time and time again. Back to top
