Ring Sling Baby Carrier, Soft Cotton Baby Sling Carrier Newborn to Toddler, Baby Wrap Carrier for Plus Size Parents, Perfect Shower Gift, Black

The sling is very easy to set use. I read many reviews before purchasing and I was not sure what they was talking about. It took me 2 minutes to put the sling on and have it adjusted. Once I got my son in the sling I did have to adjust it alittle more to fit him and that didn't take long at all. The only thing was I did have my husband hold my son up while I was adjusting it only because it is a new product for me and my son and he is a wiggle baby and I didnt want to take the chance of him falling. I love the sling and my son loved it as well! He is 3 months old and loves to be held and to walk around! I have not used it enough to be entirely hands free so at all times I had one hand on him to be safe! I do see where the reviews about it being one sided patterns and the pocket being on the inside. I flipped mine over at the rings to make sure the pocket and design was on the outside. Other than that it's a great product, great with my baby, could be longer I'm 5'9 and it did look alittle short on me and the pocket almost came up to my breast so sticking my hand in it would not work. I'm skinny and small breast so it's not from losing length from my width. Any ways its actually easy to use if people would think about it logically when they put it together instead of over thinking about it. Great fabric very sturdy!

I purchased this for the sole purpose of not killing my arms while holding my lap child on the airplane when they took a nap. I have a 30lb toddler (under 2) and this worked like a champ. I was able to cradle him close to my body and keep my hands free to read while on our flight. He likes to spread out instead of sleeping with his head on my shoulder, so I have to hold him across my body with his legs tucked under my armpits - if that gives you a visual. When they nap for 2 hours on a 6 hour flight, holding them and being able to feel your hand is not an option. I was also able to use this to hold my kid on my side and it helps to lift some of the weight off my arms. I am not by any means a granola mom who insists on wearing her kid everywhere, it just happened to be on a cruise where we needed to keep our antsy twins in check during the assembly drill where they need to stand still for a bit. Unlike my husband I'm 5'2" and while my purse probably weighs 30lbs, it doesn't wiggle and jiggle all around so the sling came in super handy to hold my kiddo while not killing my arms. I was going to take the ergo to carry him on my back, but this took up much less space and I was able to easily fold this and fit in into my backpack. I didn't have any issues with it bunching around my neck. I would say that this is not a long term solution for a toddler of this size. However, for short term wear and for airplane trips, this is ideal.

Let me start this off with it was my first ringsling ever. Also my son is a beefcake and is 33 inches tall and 31lbs annnd 14 mo old in this picture. I use it to hip carry when he needs some snuggles or just doesn't want to be put down at all. The fabric is light and once washed very soft. There is a pocket on the end of the drape so you can store keys or your phone if you were like me and decided to baby wear as I took the trash out of the apartment. It's breathable and doesn't cause him or I to overheat quickly. The material is secure and I never had a slipping problem from the rings. This sling experience made me decide to get other slings and keep hip wearing and snuggling as long as I can

Good value for the price, but I felt I needed to return this. The photo is very deceiving. Because of the way the fabric wraps, the "tail" is inside out and the pocket is towards mommy. This is the only way to use it "properly" so that the rails line up (as every single online instruction has you follow!) I couldn't get this to work any other way without folding over the fabric and causing it to bunch. THE PATTERN IS ONLY PRINTED ON ONE SIDE. It is NOT doublesided. Which is a shame, because otherwise it had nice padding and was folded nicely to fit my baby in it. It was a VERY comfortable versatile ring sling for us (my baby is 20-lbs and 7 months old). It just looks REALLY awkward with the print on one side and the large white tail hanging down. I was looking for a ring sling that was easy to get on and off and gave me more flexibility than the Ergo for around the house. This is easy to put on and slide baby into (with a little practice). Baby is comfortable and loves to be on the hip. It gives me hands free babywearing for chasing her older 3-year old sister. But I just couldn't stand that the design looked so unfinished!

The sling has a nice fabric to it - not too thin and flimsy, but not overly heavy either. I was frustrated with trying to adjust it at first, but with a little practice, it worked just fine (I'm a first time ring sling user). I love that it is so easy to carry my little one in it. The fabric stays in place. It doesn't sit completely smooth in the rings, so pulling the sides to adjust takes a little maneuvering, but it's pretty easy, and once you've got it where you want it, it stays in place. I also like the little pocket on the "tail" of the sling. Since I'm only a month post partum, I don't have a lot of clothes that fit, and the ones that do don't have pockets. So it's nice to be able to just drop my phone in the little pocket there. I have a Samsung GalaxyS8, and it goes all the way inside the pocket, it doesn't poke out.

UPDATED: This fabric is NOT SAFE for babywearing. It is thin like a bed sheet. Safe wearing fabrics should be heavier, like pants, in order to safely support baby's weight. Think more like a fancy tablecloth, or thin blanket. Original 3-star review ________________________________________________________________________ I was pleasantly surprised with this ring sling as a first time mom. However, now that I've gained a little more knowledge about wearing, I have some critiques. #1 is that the fabric is pleated at the rings, whereas nicer ring slings are gathered. A gathered one would be easier to spread the fabric on your shoulder to make carrying for longer periods more comfy for mom. This one is pleated in a way that makes it very hard to spread the fabric, and depending on the shirt I have on, it usually ends up bunching up and putting all the weight by my neck. (As shown in the photo) #2 I wish the fabric was softer, with a little more give. After several washes (line dried per care instructions) and so much twisting/braiding it is still SO stiff. That is why so many reviewers complain it's hard to pull the fabric thru the rings to tighten. This sling definitely gets the job done though, and is very budget friendly. We still use it, and will continue to until I can afford a nicer one. But had I known all this before I bought, I would have probably gotten the HipBaby brand one instead, for just a few extra dollars.

Previous to buying this I only used the "boba" which takes a lot more work to put on but the fabric is softer and stretchy. I needed something that I could put on quickly when my newborn is crying and wants to be held. This ring sling is a great option. The fabric is a linen/cotton blend but unless you're a textile expert it looks like linen (see pics). The shoulders are lightly padded and there is a pocket which can fit a few items. I will say there is a learning curve if you're new to using a ring sling (like I was) but by day 2 both me and my newborn were enjoying it. I still prefer my "boba" for the coverage and comfort it offers my newborn but having this ring sling is a nice quick alternative. Compared to the price of some others it is a good value. I would definitely recommend this brand and repurchase if necessary.

Selected this sling for the stripes thinking it would be easier to tighten. I liked the idea of the reinforcement along the top and bottom to better support the baby. I liked the price, the size of the fabric, and the fiber content of the fabric. I gave it the benefit of user error and inexperience with a sling but I find it difficult to tighten effectively because of the extra thick fabric reinforcement getting through the rings. I can't pre-thread that part or else I can't get the baby in it. Something to keep in mind while shopping around. Also, the stripes aren't as helpful because the colors alternate rather than gradient so it's not as easy to determine which side of the tail is the top and bottom of the seat part.
