Sizing
All babypods are suitable for newborns and
babies weighing up to 30 pounds (approx 3 or 4 years of age!). The sling
size is determined by the size of the wearer, not the baby, so one size of
babypod will fit for as long as you need it. Correct sizing for is essential
for comfort and ease of use –- for you and your baby!
Your babypod should feel snug and the bottom of it should come to between your belly button and your hip bones. You should be able to open the babypod pouch wide enough for you to slip your baby in easily - between 10 and 20 cm.

Too large
Sits below hip bones and bumps legs when you walk - uncomfortable for you both. |
Too Small
Feels too tight and uncomfortable; you may not be able to get your baby in. |
Just right
Baby is held snugly against you. |
| NB. It can be dangerous if your baby is not held close enough to your body. |

Choosing
your size
Choose your size based on the size of top you generally wear (when not pregnant)
or measure yourself.
Measuring yourself is much more precise as it takes
into consideration your torso length, shoulder width and bust size.
To measure yourself take a tape in a loop from
you hip bone on one side, over the outside edge of your opposite
shoulder and back to your hip bone.
If you are pregnant, simply double the measurement
across your back. |

Falling between two sizes
If you fall between two sizes, both will fit – just like jeans, just one will be tighter and one will be looser. If you are tall choose the larger size, if you are short choose the smaller.
