      • Why use baby carriers?

        Baby slings have been an integral part of nursing, holding and mothering a child for centuries throughout almost every culture. There is a closeness that a sling provides that no other method of holding a baby can provide. The warmth, the heartbeat, the bond between mother and child — all of...

    About Us

    Peppermint.com is dedicated to the nearly-lost art of wearing your baby. We like to call it joyful in-arms parenting. In-arms because you can shed the strollers and buckets and bassinets and bouncers. Joyful because this closeness comes with so many benefits beyond making sandwiches with both hands. We start slinging our babies so that we can get things done. We continue slinging them because they are safer close to our bodies; they cry less when they can hear our hearts beat; they are more alert when they are face to face with the world. You will soon have a child who will be calmed by the sight of your sling, knowing that it will all soon be OK.

    There is another layer of our mission. Every part of the world has a baby wearing tradition. Many of our grandparents and great-grandparents wore their children, most out of necessity. We are doing our best to preserve and promote these traditions, before they are lost. You can connect with your heritage through traditional carrying methods. You may even be surprised to learn that a long piece of cloth is the most comfortable "design" out there!

    So take a look around and see what you think. Browse the carrying instructions and peruse the pictures. We hope that you enjoy your visit, and we invite you to come again.



    What We Do; What We Don't Do

    I thought I would take a moment to outline some of our business practices. Just so you know who you are dealing with!

    We Do:

    • Donate baby slings and carriers to charitable organizations.
    • Guard customer information very closely.
    • Try our hardest to find the right solution for your baby wearing needs, rather than sell you a particular carrier.

    We Don't:

    • Sell or share customer information of any kind.
    • Make fun of you if you can't get the wrap cross back carry on the first try ;) .

    Charitable Contributions

    Over the years, we've been making contributions to various organizations that relate to our mission in different ways. Below are some of the organizations that we support, so that you can get a feel for where these contributions are going, and so that we can bring some needed attention to the great work being done by these people.
