The "G" in G Slings stands for two things; first: “green.” Our slings are constructed (either in part or fully, depending on the sling) with procycled or repurposed fabrics. This eliminates the environmental impact of producing new materials. Using recycled materials also ensures a unique sling every time!

The second "G"? Gillian, after the proprietor, Gillian Hyde.

When Gillian realized how useful and bonding wearing her baby was, she began sewing her own slings to save a buck. It wasn’t long before other moms were asking her where they could buy one. Gillian offered to sew for them, enabling a savings of about $50-$70 from brand name slings and offering equivalent or higher quality.

About the Slings
G Slings are totally one-of-a-kind ring slings! Gillian is proud to offer unique ring slings, rarely offering even the same fabric for more than one sling. When the same fabric is used, she's careful to use different design elements for each sling. She loves and emphasizes individuality and style, while ensuring that her fabrics are strong and durable.

These slings are great because any size and age of babies can be worn in the sling, preemies to age three! One G Sling could last you the first several years of your child's life. How many other products can offer that? The other great thing is that due to the style of these slings, anyone can wear it- big or small, tall or short, there are no restrictions. The mother, father, grandmother, aunt, friend- whoever wants to carry the baby, can!

The shoulder area and all other seams of each sling is strongly reinforced.

Gillian uses rings from SlingRings.com, which are constructed specifically for use in baby carriers and are designed to be lightweight and extremely durable. They are strength tested, smoothed and made of only the strongest materials. The rings are batch tested to ensure strength and non-toxicity.

All G Slings are made in a pet and smoke free home, and are washed before and after construction using a hypoallergenic, scent-free, eco-friendly laundry detergent.

Tip: The "tail" of the sling can be used as a breastfeeding cover, tucked behind the pouch or even wrapped around the baby (depending on the baby’s size); it doesn’t always have to be hanging down beside the pouch.

About Gillian
Gillian Hyde, owner and operator of G Slings, has been "attachment parenting" her son Ashden since September 2007. She breastfeeds, wears her baby (in a G Sling!) as much as possible, cosleeps, and uses cloth diapers while she practices elimination communication. She and her husband are raising Ashden as an organic vegetarian. Before parenthood, she was a world traveler, having lived in West Africa, the Caribbean, Mexico, the U.S. and all over Canada, as well as having travelled through Europe three separate times. She was born and raised on the south shore of Nova Scotia and is very happy to be back home raising her own little family.
