Lying position
The possibility of placing a child in a kangaroo/sling in a
lying position. This position is considered optimal for babies, because it creates a minimum load on the spine, while it is just being formed; and for older ones it can come in handy — for example, lying down a kid falls asleep much better.
Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding design. In this type of feeding, the baby is positioned in a reclined position, resting on the mother's thigh so that the baby's head is at breast level. Feeding a baby in a kangaroo/sling is easier due to the more comfortable weight distribution, and the device also hides the mother's breasts from the views of others.
Hood
The presence of a
hood in the design of the kangaroo/sling. The hood is useful in case of adverse external conditions — it will protect the baby's head and neck from rain, snow, cold wind, etc.
Bib
The presence of a
bib in the delivery set of kangaroo/sling. Unlike the classic use (when the bib is attached to the child's chest and protects his/her clothes from contamination), in this case it is attached at the level of the baby's head and covers the parent's clothes. A very useful feature when carrying the baby facing the mother (see "Orientation").
Back pocket
The presence of a
pocket on the outside; commonly found in kangaroo backpacks. This pocket can be used to transport a variety of additional items, ranging from toys and baby food jars to documents and other personal items.
