I think most moms would welcome an extra hand (or two) now and again when wrangling that brood of super cute, diaper-clad wee beasties, especially when the going gets rough, tough and possibly stinky.
Balancing a sleepy baby in your arms for an entire cross country flight, perhaps trying to keep a firm grip on a sticky toddler's hand, or maybe just carting a big bag teeming with groceries or the dog's leash and poop bags while on a walk can present interesting feats of contortion, at least enough to make a Cirque de Soleil performer jealous.
That's where the PUJ Go Sling (shown at top left in Florence, $48, also available in patterns with cool, retro-chic names like Chloe, Dianna - Cosmotot's pick - Kate and Heather) comes in.
Founded by designer parents Katie and Ben, PUJ - pronounced like that extra inch you have to pinch - makes it simple to get up and go out, especially since its minimalist/modern design has no straps, buckles, zippers or metal rings. You literally just throw it over your head like a t-shirt, slip baby inside and head out the door. You can even put it on while holding baby. Talk about a huge plus!
When baby's off exploring the rug or her toes and the PUJ is not in use, simply fold it up flat, tuck it in the side of your diaper bag or jacket pocket, and that's it.
And, if on a particular day baby gets extra drooly, explosively poopy or very pukey, just throw it in the wash for a fresh start.
Maybe we should give PUJ a hand instead.
Cosmomama says there's more in the details:
There's more of a precise sizing science behind the PUJ than just a
one-size-fits-most-but-not-very-well philosophy, too. The site offers a
very comprehensive measurement chart on its main page, but should you
run into any technical difficulties with that slithery measuring tape,
Katie will gladly help you get it all sorted out.
