baby sling

Apparently this term is used only by the company Melli. More common term is 'kantoliina'. On the other hand, this is more specific term, denoting to a baby sling for carrying a baby at breast. 'Kantoliina' can denote both to a baby sling for carrying at breast and for carrying at back (also called 'reppuliina).

It seems that "baby sling pouch" is just the same as 'syliliina' and also widely used.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tuulia Tipa : I agree with Timo on everything. 'Syliliina' is a strange term, 'kantoliina' would be the standard one.

Thanks, Thulia. I find the term 'syliliina' appropriate. The need for this term has arose when the term 'reppuliina' has been taken in use. The non-reppuliina had to be name otherwise than just kantoliina, because reppuliina also is kantoliina.
