Your First Summer Holiday with a Baby? Don’t Leave Without This One Essential!

Packing for your first summer holiday with a baby can feel like prepping for an expedition: how do you keep things light and make sure you have everything you need? There’s one item that ticks all the boxes—versatile, compact, practical, and oh-so-comfortable for both you and your little one: the Moon Sling.

Here’s why this small but mighty carrier should be the first thing on your packing list:

1. Lightweight & hassle-free

Our Moon Slings are super lightweight with less than 350 grams and fold up small to fit into any bag. The Moon Sling won’t take up precious luggage space or weigh you down at the airport. No bulky buckles, no complicated wraps or excessive fabric hanging on dirty floors. Just effortless carrying on the go.

2. 100% linen is ideal for hot temperatures 

Because our Moon Slings are crafted from breathable, 100% natural linen, it is the best carrier for warm temperatures. It helps regulate both your own and your baby’s body temperature. Keeping you both cool, close, and comfortable all day long. 

3. Travel-friendly, especially on planes

Structured carriers with straps and padding can feel uncomfortable and bulky when travelling on planes. They feel especially not great for plane seats. Moon Sling has no stiff parts digging into your back and lets you sit down comfortably while still holding your baby close to comfort it on the plane. And a great bonus we love: it makes nursing or bottle-feeding in cramped seats surprisingly easy.

4. Beach-ready & water-friendly

Planning to spend time with your little one on the pool or beach? Moon Sling doubles as a water carrier. Whether it’s a quick dip or just a walk by the shore, you can keep your baby close without worrying about damaging your carrier. And when it gets wet? It dries fast and is easy to clean—no stress if it gets sandy or sticky.

5. A perfect fit for everyone

One of the best parts? Moon Sling adjusts to fit all body types. Whether it’s mum, dad, grandparents, or even an aunt or uncle taking a turn, everyone can carry the baby safely and comfortably. No need to pack multiple carriers for different people.

6. Versatility for every (unexpected) travel moment

Babies are unpredictable—and so is travel. That’s where the Moon Sling really shines:

• Cramped plane seats where you need to soothe, nurse or nap them while staying seated
  

• Contact naps on the go while you stroll through new towns or wait in line for gelato
  

• Busy airports, markets or stations, where keeping your baby safe and close gives peace of mind
  

• Short hikes or sightseeing spots where tired toddler legs need a break
  

• Nap transitions without disturbing them, especially when they’ve finally drifted off in your arms!
  

• Late night walks back to your accommodation, when they need comfort and you need your hands free
  

• Unexpected delays, where calm cuddles go a long way
  

Moon Sling helps you adapt to whatever your trip throws at you—with less stress and more ease.

7. Adapts to your little one’s needs

From sleepy newborn snuggles to toddler adventures, Moon Sling adapts as your little one grows. Use it in multiple positions—front, side, back or as a quick hip seat—depending on what the moment calls for. With your Moon Sling, you’re all set for all travel adventures for the next upcoming years. That’s long-term value packed into a small, lightweight sling!

Whether you’re sightseeing, catching flights, heading to the beach, or just enjoying long summer evenings with your little one close, the Moon Sling is the easiest decision you’ll make. It’s not just a carrier—it’s your summer holiday essential!

So while you’re triple-checking your list for sunscreen, swim nappies, and snacks… don’t forget the one thing that’ll actually make everything easier: your Moon Sling.

Wherever you go this summer, enjoy while keeping your little one close.
