What is a Snap Strap?
It's a strap that snaps around both
tails of the Etc. Sling to keep the tails from separating (when worn for
x-holds). It works especially good for back carries and for kids who like
to arch back when in a tummy to tummy/chest to chest holds.

FAQ:
|
Is it necessary that I have a Snap Strap to use my Etc. Sling? No, it isn't necessary but some like to have the extra safety that the Snap Strap offers. |
|
Does it guarantee that my child can squirm and not fall out? No, you'll still need to monitor your child's position in the sling and make sure that they are adequately supported by the fabric. But, it does give a "safety net" for a squirmy or hard to sling child. |
|
Do you recommend the Snap Strap for some fabrics or some kids? The stretchy fabrics while comfortable do give babe more wiggle room so the Snap Strap can be helpful in keeping them in place. Kids who tend to arch their back when in tummy to tummy holds may benefit (and parents may feel more at ease) having the tails secured together. |
