  • Please remember when using a hired baby carrier, your child’s safety is your responsibility.
    Always follow instructions carefully and check for signs of wear and tear, so as not to put your child at risk.
    There is a charge of £6.50 per month for stretchy style new born carriers or £10 for 4 weeks for all other types. A full deposit is required, in the form of a cheque or you can pay a deposit by pay pal or cash. Deposits are a flat rate of £40. Deposit cheques will not be banked and will be returned to you upon the safe return of the hired sling. Any late fees may be taken from your deposit.
  • The replacement of any lost carriers, accessories or instructions must be paid in full. The deposit does not represent the value of the carrier. Charges for lost components will be equal to replacement cost (including any postage costs). Charges for items damaged beyond normal wear and tear will be judged on a case by case basis.
    Subject to availability up to 2 carriers may be borrowed at one time. This may be limited to no more than 1 of each carrier type. Once a carrier is returned another loan may be made.
  • Should the carrier be lost or damaged beyond normal wear and tear, you will be invoiced for the full replacement cost.
  • Please take care of the baby carrier; we hope these carriers will be able to help lots more parents in the future.
  • Do not launder the carrier. All carriers are laundered regularly. You may spot clean the carrier with water.
    If you feel you must launder the carrier before returning please ask for directions from sling library.com as many carriers have specific laundering requirements.
  • The carriers must be returned at or before the return date. If you cannot make it to the session, then please contact slinglibrary.com to make alternative arrangements. It is your responsibility to make sure the carrier is returned before the loan expiry.
