NCT Herts North Sling Library

Sling libraries are the perfect opportunity to try different baby carriers before you invest in one for you and your little one.

In our well stocked library we have a selection of different types of carriers, from stretchy wraps to soft structured carriers suitable from Newborn to toddler and our experienced sling library coordinators can help you find one that is comfortable for you and suitable for the age and stage of your baby.

To attend, you need to select a timed slot. There are 4 slots of 30 minutes, where you will have the time to look at the slings and speak to a dedicated sling library volunteer.

We charge £8 to hire a sling for 14 days and ask for a cash deposit. Extended hires can often be agreed if required for a holiday, for example. We charge £30 deposit for stretchy wrap carriers and £50 for all other carriers.

Deposits (cash only) will be safely stored and will be returned provided the sling is returned in the same condition as it was hired.

We also ask for proof of your address, for example a driver's licence or utility bill (unfortunately a higher deposit will be required if these can’t be provided on the day of hire)

Anyone can attend the sling library and hire a carrier, you do not have to be an NCT member.
