Does the size of the Peanut Shell Sling really matter?YES!!! You really need to have the right size.
This is the most important step for successful and comfortable use of the Peanut Shell Sling. If you have a Peanut Shell sling that is too big your baby will not feel secure
and will ride too low on your body. 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 will feel like you can't breathe. Keep in mind that the correct fit of the Peanut Shell sling should feel snug with baby inside and if you
are new to sling wearing you may even think it is too small.Please use the information provided on this page to help you pick the correct Peanut Shell Sling size.
We have created our chart over time and with fitting thousands of parents and have found it to be very accurate however as each person is shaped different
and has personal preference that all cannot be accounted for.Return to the top of this page |

How do I know what size Peanut Shell sling to order?Please follow these steps. Peanut shell sling sizing is based on the parent's measurements not the baby.
1. Using a soft measuring tape, measure from one shoulder to the OPPOSITE hip bone to help determine your Peanut Shell size. Also, measure your upper chest circumference, above
the largest part of your bust (under your armpits); DO NOT USE YOUR BRA SIZE OR MEASURE "OVER" THE FULLEST PART OF YOUR BUST. If you do not have a tape measurer, use a
piece of string and a standard ruler (or metal tape measurer) to measure yourself. Peanut shell sling sizing for men is done using the same guidelines.
2. Approximate Peanut shell sling size can be determined using the chart below.
3. If you measure in 2 sizes use the additional information under the chart to help you decide which would be a better size for you and your baby. Return to the top of this page |

I'm pregnant but want to buy a Peanut Shell Sling nowOur sizing charts 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 2nd pouch, compare the 2 sizes with baby inside and then return whichever Peanut Shell® sling does not seem to fit as well.
If you are currently pregnant and trying out your new Peanut Shell 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. 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.Return to the top of this page |

Is my Peanut Shell Sling 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 before that you have the sling on correctly before exchanging your Peanut Shell®. Especially with the micro-fleece you will want to be sure that baby hits above your hip bones. As they grow a snug fit will be even more necessary.Return to the top of this page |

Is my Peanut Shell Sling 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 micro-fleece 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.Return to the top of this page |
