Recent news tells us that Hotslings will be no more. Hotslings at least in my experience were the most recognizable brand of pouch slings available for baby-wearing. The company which started in 2003, gained in popularity and was the only sling I had ever seen in mainstream stores like Target and Babies R Us - both in stores and online.
I'm not sure why exactly they are going out of business. Their website tells only that they are going out of business and all sales are final. They had even recently developed and adjustable pouch sling that could be worn by multiple people rather than their traditional slings that fit to a single individual.
The good news is that if you are looking for a pouch style slings and are unable to find Hotslings in the future, there are other brands available. Probably the next most recognizable brand is Slinglings but there are others like Peanut Shell and Sprout Pouch.
I can't vouch for any of them aside from the Hotsling since that is the one I have and use quite frequently. I have seen and handled a Slingling and it seems very similar to a Hotsling in form and function. Either way, the most important thing is to follow the instructions for use to ensure your baby is safe and secure.
