International Babywearing Week Around the World

Hungary: What is this?
 

Look closely ... it's the world's longest baby sling! Babywearers in Budapest, Hungary, held their wraparound slings end-to-end on a bridge crossing the Danube to kick off their celebration of International Babywearing Week 2009. Their slings crossed the whole river!
