Baby sling promotes bonding while moms exercise

The Smiling Sling is an infant carrier that encourages maximum enjoyment and bonding between mother and baby through physical activity.

For parents faced with a new baby and all the associated challenges, it’s all too easy to let personal fitness fall by the wayside. New from Australia, however, is the Smiling Sling, an infant carrier that encourages maximum enjoyment and bonding between mother and baby through physical activity. Priced at AUD 129.99, the Smiling Sling offers a way for new mothers to embrace a fitness regime while bonding with their baby at the same time. Designed specifically to give mothers the flexibility to move and work out without fear for their baby’s safety, the device enables the wearer to perform a variety of exercises designed to tone, strengthen and achieve physical health and weigh loss, all while keeping the baby attached and in close contact. Sample exercises are available on the Smiling Sling site and in a booklet that accompanies every purchase. Specialized training classes are also in the works. Regaining fitness after pregnancy has been a challenge for mothers throughout the ages. Exercise entrepreneurs, how could your brand help make it easier? Spotted by: Murtaza Patel
