Ring Sling Baby Carrier - USA Lab Tested, 100% Natural Cotton Muslin, Breathable & Ergonomic Ring Sling Grey Rose

I’ve tried at least 6 different types of babywearing items, moby self wrap, moby all season hard wraps, soft clip wraps, sturdier wraps that clipped, sometimes different brands of the same kind, and my baby never really loved any of them. They were either too constrictive or too loose and she didn’t feel secure enough. When I bought this one, I didn’t have high hopes since she was like 8-9 months at that point and I figured if she didn’t like babywearing now, she never would. The learning curve on this was definitely there but once I figured it out she loved it! She felt so close to me and I was able to adjust it so that it was tight enough on her back but not too tight on her legs. This was very important to me because I tried a sling wrap that wasn’t adjustable and she constantly felt like she was going to slide right out of it or fall backward because the back would be so loose she’d lean back and slide. I always keep my arm around her but the fact that it was so unsturdy seemed to cancel out the convenience that it was supposed to bring, in my opinion. This wrap, however, is fantastic! I use it literally every single time we go out and she’s been a big fan of it ever since I first put her in it. She feels happy to be close to me and at the same time gets to be cozy while we shop. It did get to be a bit harder to keep her in it when she got to be over 20 lbs but that was because it puts quite a bit of pressure on the knees and thighs once they’re that big. However, I circumvented that by using it alongside the tush baby and that has been an absolute game changer. The sling wrap keeps her secure and close to me, not letting her fall or slip, while the tush baby keeps her up high and takes the pressure off her her knees and thighs. It’s amazing and I’ve just ordered a second wrap because I just love it so much. I will 100% be getting this again for the next baby and have recommended it to ever single mom I know who either has a clingy baby or is just like me and wants to have a good way to keep the baby calm while shopping. It’s been a definite game changer, don’t pass of this! I’ve tried other brands, including moby, and this is by far superior. It’s kind of crazy because I expected the brand names to win out but I prefer this one by far over the others. It just seems to adjust easier and the fabric is so breathable and soft. I also love the pocket in front, which I use to either hold my phone or even snacks to feed my baby. I throw it on in the car before we leave and that way I’m ready to just slide there in it once we get to where we’re going. I don’t really have a preference for color and don’t care about matching but the color options are nice nonetheless. It very conveniently folds down very small and that makes it nice to either store in the diaper bag or just keep in the car. I’ve also recently discovered that it’s a phenomenal way to keep the baby still while eating out without a high chair, and you just need to loosen it a little bit so that they can sit in your lap but they still feel like they don’t have the room to start trying to escape like they would if they were just loose on your lap. And I used it at the Dr while getting bloodwork done and they told me that it was the calmest and most secure way of holding a baby that they had ever seen. I literally just adjusted it so that she was sitting facing forward and then trapped her unused arm under the ring and into the sling and then placed my free arm over her to hold her still. It was much better than just having them hold her down and she felt a lot more calm being against me. This thing is just amazing in every aspect and I’m so glad that I took the risk. It’s worth every penny.

This sling is extremely soft and very easy to use. I’m a first time mom and this is perfect whenever my baby wants to be held while I need to get things done! The material is comfortable, not too thick, and washes well! We’ve used this several times in the last month. It is very similar to the WildBird sling, but I actually this it’s better quality and it has a pocket which is perfect to carry a pacifier in!

This is an affordable and perfectly usable ring sling. It is well made. The fabric is soft and the sunset pink is a sort of flesh color that goes with anything (not exactly as pictured, it has more orange/tan in it and less pink). However, there is a big difference in ring slings as you go up in price. I did not know that until I received a WildBird (a mid-grade brand) as a hand-me-down. That one is more comfortable and easier to use than this one because the fabric is more substantial. Because the fabric is thinner on this one, it has a tendency to stretch, making it more difficult to adjust initially and then requiring adjustments throughout the carry as baby’s weight settles. This one is also more likely to dig in at certain spots and distributes weight less evenly overall, leading to a less comfortable carry for mom. That said, I used this sling almost exclusively before receiving the other, and was satisfied enough to use it almost daily. If this is your price range, this is a great sling!

This is my second ring sling. My first is made from regular woven cotton and has two-inch rings. This ring sling is made from Turkish cotton muslin and has three-inch rings. This sling is SO much more comfortable than my first — for me and for my wee one. The fabric is very soft. And beautiful. It hugs my and my baby’s contours better and feels nice on my skin (I have sensitive skin, and therefore cannot stand uncomfortable fabrics!). I love that it the inner layer of fabric is different color—which helps with getting it all set up with baby because you can see which side you’re working with (helps to avoid twisting). It’s great for carrying baby around, but also nice to use as a light blanket. It has a small pocket on the end of one of the tails that fits my phone nicely. Note: the tag on the sling and in the product information it comes with says to only use this carrier with children weighing between 8 and 15 pounds. That seemed odd to me so I wrote the company to double check. They said it was absolutely a misprint and should say 8 to 35lbs. Said they’ll work on getting that fixed. I do wish the tag (washing info, etc) wasn’t plastic— you know what I’m talking about, sort of fabric-like but clearly plastic tag? Yea. Yuck. I’m trying to get away from using plastic and this does not fit with that goal. (And it’s a big tag!). Would be so simple for them to use a little piece of cotton fabric instead. Maybe they will in the future.

I was really reluctant of buying this but it was on sale for Amazon prime so I decided to try it. I have an infantino carrier but the sling seemed more comfortable and versatile. This sling seemed simple enough unlike the others that have to be wrapped a few times. It took me a couple times to get it right, the instructions are not that great so I recommend watching the videos it helped me a lot and I also nursed him while in it and he fell right to sleep. (I haven’t tried with a shirt on thought that seems harder to do) the material is really nice and breathable and strong enough to not slip. My baby is about four weeks and weighs around 11 lbs. hoping I can use this as he grows. The pocket is nice but I don’t see myself using it. The color is very pretty.

There is a learning curve with all ring slings but once you get the hang of it they're great. I watched videos on YouTube and stood in the mirror to practice wearing it before I felt comfortable walking around with it. This one is very comfortable for me and looks and feels nice but makes my baby run a little hot even dressed down.
