Sometimes called "tube", "pocket" or "ringlets" slings, are formed by a wide piece of colourful bolivian woven acrylic aguayo, first class 100% polyester lined, washable. Curve sewn in to shape the cloth to the parent's body and hold the baby more securely than a simple straight tube. The wearer slips the pouch over the head and one shoulder, sash-style, creating a pocket or seat to hold baby or pet in. The learning curve is short; most people find that they can learn to use the pouch quickly.

Can be used to safely wear a baby from birth to toddler hood. Pouches are ideal for situations in which babies are frequently being removed from the pouch and put back in, for older children who do not want to be carried long but are heavy enough to be difficult to carry in-arms, and for young, small babies who are not heavy.
