Sizing
Our Peanut Shell® baby slings are designed to fit the person wearing the sling. Sizing is based on your overall upper body size, torso length, personal preference and height. You will want the baby sling to fit snug but feel comfortable. With baby inside the sling, the baby should ride in line with your hip bones or above. As your baby grows you will use the variety of carrying positions all in the same sling.
The most important key to successful use of the Peanut Shell® baby sling is to first get the right size. Keep in mind that that even with all of our guidance the "correct" size sling is what safely works for you and your baby. Most people can wear 2 different sizes in our baby slings-as you can in clothes. There are many factors that affect sizing so don't hesitate to email us prior to ordering to let us help you find the size that will work best for you and your baby.
If you have a Peanut Shell® baby sling that is too big your baby will not feel secure and will ride too low on your body (lower than your hip bones). This is not only unsafe for your child but may also lead to back and/or shoulder discomfort. If the baby sling is too small you won't even be able to get the baby in or you will feel like you can't breathe. Keep in mind that the correct fit of the Peanut Shell® baby sling should feel snug with baby inside BUT you should be comfortable. If you are new to sling wearing, with the correct snug fit, you may even think it is too small.
Please use the information provided on this page to help you pick the correct size baby sling. We have created our chart over time using our expertise that comes with fitting thousands of parents and have found it to be very accurate. However, as each person is shaped different, each person will have a personal preference cannot be accounted for. This chart is a suggestion and not a guarantee.
With the baby inside the sling the lowest part of the sling should rest in line or ABOVE your hip bones.
The overall fit should be snug and baby may look squished but as long as you both are comfortable in the baby sling, then you have the right size. If baby does not seem happy in the baby sling, then get moving as most babies like to be moving around. You can also try putting a rolled receiving blanket under your baby to prop him up until he has better head control. Be sure baby's chin is not pinned against his chest.

FAQ's
I'm pregnant but want to buy a Peanut Shell® now
Our sizing chart offer information to help you measure for the right size during pregnancy. If you are still unsure what size to get, you may purchase a second pouch, compare the two sizes with baby inside and then return whichever Peanut Shell® does not seem to fit as well.
If you are currently pregnant and trying out your new sling, you will probably find that it feels too small. This is completely normal and we HIGHLY recommend not exchanging until after your baby is born (we can work with you on the 30 day return policy if you just contact us, so no worries there). It is extremely difficult to determine if the sling will fit correctly until after the baby is born. You may find that once the belly goes down and with baby inside, that the sling is a perfect fit! However, please keep all original packaging and invoices handy in case you do need to exchange.
Is my Peanut Shell® too big?
With baby inside the sling and with the correct fit, the lowest part of baby's body should hit at your hip bones or above. If your baby is inside the sling and their body is riding below this, the sling is too big. If you feel like your baby is not high enough or not secure enough against your body, then you may need to size down. First, make sure that you have the sling on correctly before exchanging your Peanut Shell®. Especially with the microfleece, you will want to be sure that baby hits above your hip bones. As they grow, a snug fit will be even more necessary.
Is my Peanut Shell® too small?
First, always be sure to try the sling with the baby inside to determine if you have the correct fit. If you can get your baby in the sling (even if it is a little difficult at first) then you probably have the right size. It does take a little practice and getting used to, but the sling should fit snug. However, you should not feel uncomfortable or as if you can't breath because it is so snug. Play around with positioning and keep in mind that the microfleece will give a bit with wear. Please keep in mind that the baby will look kind of squished in the cradle carry-this is a good thing and not an indicator that the sling it too small. As long as baby seems content they are not too squished, it just looks that way to us.
