Huggalugs leghuggers are a fantastic babywearing accessory as they help keep little legs and ankles warm when pants ride up in your carrier. They are also great to slip on to little arms and legs for unexpected weather changes, especially useful if your child is asleep – you don’t need to take them out of the carrier, just slip on the leghuggers and you’re set. Great for when the weather turns cold and also on sunny days for sun protection. Other ways that Huggalugs are awesome are:

• Easy to pull on under or over pants or skirts.
• Great at nudie bum time for a leg cover that doesn’t get in the way of toilet dashes!
• Handy for quick weather or temperature changes- so easy to slip on arms and legs even with a tee shirt on!
• Just made for helping little ones learn to dress themselves while their dexterity is improving.
• Interesting patterns are perfect for dress up fun.
• Convenient pull on item to help prevent kid’s arms and legs from becoming dinner for those darn mozzies. For extra protection give them a light spray of repellent after putting them on. This is especially good for sensitive skin.
• Just so cute!

The same product is used on both the arms and the legs. One size fits most from 6 months to 8 years. Huggalugs Leghuggers can also be worn by older children, teens and adults as traditional calf height leg warmers, arm warmers and open toed socks.

New Zealand Babywearing Week Giveaway with My Natural Baby – WIN a Storchenwiege Ring Sling!

We’re on the countdown to New Zealand Babywearing Week (5-13 October 2013) and we are looking forward to celebrating with you.  We’ve been loving the giveaways over the last couple of weeks thanks to some generous product sponsors.  The next giveaway will be drawn once we reach 2000 page members over on the New Zealand Babywearing Week facebook page.

Our 2000 liker giveaway sponsor is My Natural Baby Ltd. One lucky ‘New Zealand Babywearing Week Facebook page’ member will be randomly drawn to take home a Storchenwiege Woven Ring Sling valued at $140.00 in the Inka Colourway (pictured above) . (Open to NZ residents only).

Practical and simple to put on: The Storchenwiege® RingSling, made of the proven Storchenwiege® sling material, can be worn in one size by different wearers.

Using the Storchenwiege® RingSling, you can:

• carry your child on your hip, tummy to tummy and on your back.
• carry your child easily and quickly, but still have both hands free for her brothers or sisters or jobs you need to do.
• easily manage barriers such as stairs, getting on the bus or train, or rough or irregular paths.
• give your toddler a rest when she is just learning to walk and cannot yet manage long distances.

What makes the Storchenwiege® RingSling so special?

• The Storchenwiege® RingSling is made of 100% cotton; the special Storchenwiege® fabric stands out for its extremely good diagonal elasticity. The Storchenwiege® RingSling thus supports the child firmly and envelops her body like a firm bandage. This guarantees a safe, comfortable feeling when wearing it.
• The fabric of the Storchenwiege® RingSling is certified in accordance with the Oeko-Tex 100 standard for babies. In this way, you can rest assured that it is absolutely safe for your child´s health.
• The use of large, high-quality aluminium rings makes the Storchenwiege® RingSling comfortable to wear, allowing its folds to be arranged neatly in the rings and thus over the shoulder. The Storchenwiege® RingSling also has different-coloured edges, making it considerably easier to put on, and especially to pull tight.

How to care for your Storchenwiege® RingSling properly:
The Storchenwiege® RingSling can be washed on gentle machine setting at up to 60°C. You may like to use a washing bag to protect your washing machine and the aluminium rings.
