Dedicated to being on the cutting edge of fashion, the Hotslings brand brings a fresh perspective to traditional baby & parenting products perfect for active parents who want to simplify their lives but not compromise their style.
Hotslings was founded by Kristen DeRocha at her kitchen table in 2003 after designing a pouch style-sling to carry her daughter in. One of the first to inject an aesthetic sensibility into her slings, Ms. DeRocha brought her love of fashion to the baby carrier industry and transformed the look of slings and other baby carriers the world over. The idea of a sling as a fashion accessory as well as a baby carrier took hold with Hotslings' bold prints and colors and constantly evolving offerings. Ms. DeRocha wanted to ensure that parents were not limited to drab colors or juvenile teddy-bear prints when carrying their babies, and she succeeded in a big way. From there she eventually developed a sizing system that ensured a proper fit and a safe carry in pouch-style slings. In 2008, Kristen DeRocha created the first Adjustable Pouch calling it the AP which was a revolution of the 9-size era. In 2010, the Hotslings brand was purchased by and is currently operated by Jenny Pierce in Lehi, Utah.
