Pouches (sometimes called tube slings) are one of the easiest slings to use because they are very simple in design and easy to put on and adjust with or without baby in it. Pouches are very convenient, you can quickly and easily pop your baby in and out as needed (a great benefit with a toddler).
Pouches sit like a wide sash around your body which makes them very comfortable to wear as they spread the carrying weight very evenly across your shoulder and back. The pouches symmetrical design also makes it very easy to switch your carrying shoulder.
Pouches are light and compact; a pouch will roll up and fit into small spaces, which makes them great to throw in the nappy bag or glove box of the car to grab when you are out and about.
