Unique in Many Ways
Nato Bello Slings are…
Stylish and Diverse
Nato Bello slings are beautiful and functional with many different fabrics and colors to choose from - more than any other ring sling manufacturer. We have a sling to suit every mom's style and budget.
Constructed and Designed Like a Garment
Nato Bello slings have a shaped tail. Our slings are the only ones on the market with this kind of pattern shaping. Also, we take great care in choosing our fabrics, especially for our one layer slings. All of our one layer slings are made with fabric that looks great on both sides. Never will you see the unsightly white underside of a fabric on a Nato Bello sling tail. We save designer printed fabrics for our attractive two layer, reversible slings when the white under side can be hidden between the layers. From the shape of our basic pattern to the way they are sewn, our slings can be worn as a fashion accessory or a much loved piece of clothing.
The Perfect Shoulder
Our fabric is gathered onto the rings making it easy to fan out over your shoulder. There are no seams to constrain the full fanning and cupping of the sling. This cupping of the fabric over your shoulder makes our slings secure and comfortable, even when carrying heavy babies. In addition, the pattern shaping of our slings makes the shoulder end narrower than the tail end. This prevents the fabric from slipping down your arm when fanned out over your shoulder. We are the only company with this unique kind of shaped and gathered shoulder ring attachment.
Versatile
Nato Bello slings are truly versatile with many different carrying positions.
One Size and Completely Adjustable
Nato Bello slings are one size and completely adjustable. Our slings fit every parent and every baby. Weight gain or loss is never a problem and as a baby grows, our sling will grow with her. If wearing bulky clothing or a big coat, the sling can be made larger and partners with different sized shoulders can use the same sling.
Because we have eliminated complicated sizing decisions, our slings can easily be purchased before a baby is born or as a gift.
Easy to Care for
Nato Bello slings are easy to care for. All of our slings, even the silk slings, can be machine washed and dried at home.
Convenient with a Pocket in Every Sling
All Nato Bello slings have a pocket. Our basic slings have a pocket sewn onto the right side of the tail. This is an ample size pocket for a wallet, toy, pacifier, keys, etc. Our reversible slings have a pocket between the two layers of the tail. This pocket encompasses the entire size of the tail. It's a great place to store diapers, extra clothing, keys, a wallet, blanket, jacket, changing pad, etc. Even though it is a large pocket, gravity pulls small items down to the tip of the tail, making them easy to find.
Packaged in a Sling Bag
Nato Bello slings come packaged in our signature sling bag. This bag can be buttoned to the rings and used as a hands-free diaper bag after purchase.
Not Padded
Our slings are unpadded yet very comfortable to wear. Padding prevents the sling from being totally adjustable to fit all moms. Padding also gets in the way of making the sling tight on smaller babies. We want babies to be snug and secure in the sling so that moms can be hands free. When the fabric of the sling is snug and fanned out, cupping the shoulder, there is no discomfort, rubbing, or pulling even when carrying heavy babies. Also, padding makes it harder to put the sling in a purse or diaper bag.
Supported by Excellent Customer Service
Nato Bello offers exceptional product support and service. We want moms to learn how to use our slings. Instructional videos and detailed written instructions are available on our website. A DVD of our complete instructional video series is available upon request. We are always willing to give a long distance sling lesson over the phone. Customers living near Ann Arbor are welcome to stop by our office for a sling lesson in person.
Well Constructed
Our slings are sewn with an attention to detail and overall durability. We only use quality threads and reinforce all seams with extra stitching. We take pride in our sling production and inspect each sling for perfection.
Made with High Quality Rings
All of our rings are made of durable aluminum. They are made in the USA by a small mom-owned company. The rings are super strong and go through rigorous impact testing. Each ring is individually inspected for quality and pull tested by the manufacturer to 250 pounds.
Also, be assured, while some companies have been known to use lead in their manufacturing process, our rings are lead free. Our manufacturer’s process is certified as RoHS compliant-a lead and other heavy metal standard.
Produced with a Conscience
Nato Bello is committed to the health and happiness of our employees. Nato Bello slings are made in the USA in a pleasant, safe production facility by well-paid workers.
Eco -friendly
Nato Bello is an eco-friendly company. Our slings are packaged in the Sling Bag with the intent to recycle and reuse. After purchase, it can be attached to the rings and used as a small diaper bag. Green supply, recycling and conservation is a priority in our office and work space.
The Work of a Small Company, by Design
Nato Bello is an intentionally small company. We are expanding our sales but plan to stay small so we can better serve our customers, continue on-site production of our slings, and allow our employees more time and energy for mothering.
