This is my first Solarveil sling. Solarveil blocks the UVA and UVB rays while keeping you cool and comfortable. There is no other fabric available with the same unique features. In rigorous laboratory testing, a single layer of Solarveil blocks 75% to 80% of UVA and UVB rays, and a double layer blocks 92% to 95%. This level of protection maintains when the fabric is wet or dry. Solarveil also has excellent wicking properties, which is the ability to pull perspiration away from the skin. This, combined with the open knit construction that allows air to easily pass through the fabric which rapidly evaporates moisture, creates an air conditioning effect keeping the wearer cool. You can read more about Solarveil Sun Protection here.
I've found that the fabric is quite comfortable- especially in the hot weather, and the rings hold very well without having to be re-adjusted. The tail allows you to drape over your child to give them extra protection, if needed. I am excited to use this when we go to a little pool party tomorrow!
It's a perfect sling for summer and I want you to have one! Kim from KimzKreations is giving away a Solarveil ring sling of your choice! You pick the color and the rings you want- a $40 value!

ReplyDeleteI have been shopping around for a solarveil RS! I think I will have to buy one.. if I don't win of course. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cool! We are planning for baby #4 and I don't have a sling. I have a playtex hip hammock that I love, but that is only for much bigger babies. I need this!!
ReplyDeleteYour clematis in the background looks fabulous. I hope that Solarveil makes other things too.
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Count me in! By the way, I've got a new photo tag up! I'd love for you to play along.
ReplyDeleteoh.. count me in! i would LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteI no longer believe in my powers of winning... So I just bought the blasted thing. :)
ReplyDeleteI have really been wanting one of these! Hope I win!!
ReplyDeletelove your pictures! again a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThat Solarveil sling looks great--count me in! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Count me in!
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! I didn't use a sling with my son (who is two now), but I have been using one with my daughter who is almost 8 months old now. I LOVE it! She loves it! It's wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog right now. I did have one, but not any more. I can be contacted @ krystalmcmaster@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd also like to say that I really enjoy reading your blog.
What an excellent idea, please enter me! :)
ReplyDeleteher slings look so nice. I got a solarveil sling from wallababy.com to review. Its beautiful and reversable! although w/ solarveil it doesnt matter which side you put it on, it looks the same.. but all her other slings you can f lip the other way and its a new color. Really neat. And its a comfortable gather at the shoulder just like Kims.
ReplyDeleteI love the black on you ;-) Mines yellow.
Love it Love it Love it!!!

ReplyDeleteI posted this contest on my site, but forget to put in the direct link. This is a nice prize, hope I win. :) I just had my fourth baby and would love this sling.
Don't have a blog but would love to enter the contest. My daughter is due Sept. 4 and would love the sling. Thanks.

Pick me, pick me! I am in, my post is up, but I forgot to link directly to it, so here is that http://neffets3.blogspot.com/2007/06/i-want-that-sling.html
ReplyDeleteAlso, Lil, if you do win, I can help you out!
Hey, Stephanie, thanks for the chance at this sling!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you might consider (now don't laugh at me!) taking pictures and doing a step-by-step of you putting on a sling and putting your son in. I realize this may be elementary for most people, but I just can't visualize exactly how it works. I had a store-bought carrier once, and it was just too difficult to put my son in and then put it on. Thanks for considering it. :0)
I'm jumping on the sling wagon for the next baby. I missed out on the first one but can't on the next! =)
ReplyDeleteWow, that fabric sounds awesome! i can see it being especially useful at the farmer's market when my babe is sweating like a little piggy in my current sling.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Let's get together!
Oh dear I did it too....here's the link to my actual post about the competition... http://rachelscommentsonlife.blogspot.com/2007/06/me-please.html SORRY! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Yes I know I'm in Australia and that may affect my ability to win but my Mother in law lives in OHIO and is coming back to Aus in September for a wedding so if I won the sling could be sent to her address.
thanks for noticing my error on the mr linky! i don't want to miss out on this one :)
ReplyDeleteI, for one, love all the contests so I totally understand the ads/reviews in order to get the things to give away. What, were you supposed to buy all these prizes for us???
ReplyDeleteI'm off to put an entry on my blog now then take a look at her site. I hope I win so I want to be prepared with what I want!
PS -- I've been shopping around and her price sounds very reasonable.
Those pictures are so goregous you two could model those professionally. Ever thought about that??? : )
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you look great.
I just wanted to say how much I love your haircut! :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I am new to your blog and would love to win the sling. I do not own one but have friends that do and I just haven't had the extra cash. I don't have a blog but my e-mail is lizzy_142@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I am soooo in this one, too. I WANT a sling!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome looking sling!!! I love mine but it is getting beat up from so much use and hope to have more kids so a new one would be neat.
ReplyDeleteI just wrote 2 posts and neither of them are showing up.

ReplyDeleteYeah for slings!! Ever since I saw a blog of a baby-wearing mother, I have wanted a sling for my baby girl. If I don't win one, I guess I'll have to get out the sewing machine and try to make one. If i win, I will send you my email address, as I don't want to post it here. Your kids are cuties.
ReplyDeleteMe me me! Pick me! :)
