The Perraja baby carrier is put over one shoulder, on the other hip and tied with a knot. A small baby lies in front of you and an older baby or toddler sits on your hip and can also be moved to your front or on your back. Perrajas originate from Middle America.A Perraja makes a lovely baby sling. Our Perrajas come in several sizes. Size one and two have a very pretty fringe. Woven in 100% cotton, the colours vary from vibrant to muted. When ordering, just state your colour preferences and whether you prefer blocks or stripes.The standard length (size 1) is about 94". This is the best choice if you are of average length and weight or less and you want to use it in the six sling positions.Size 2 Perrajas are about 10 long, suitable for larger people. This is long enough to be used for supporting your abdomen when you are pregnant (ask for instructions). You can still use it in the six sling positions but you might need tuck away the ends. For smaller people the position on the back, as shown in this picture, is also possible.Size 3 Perrajas are around 119" long (and wider). This Perraja is used differently. There are two upright positions possible for small or medium sized people, one in front and the same on the back (see picture). It is not very suitable for the six sling positions as you will then have a lot of excess material to cope with.NoteSome fabrics are displayed with two different colours side-to-side. These fabrics have a different front- and back pattern/colour.
