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

Secure and easy to use. Some people said it was difficult to use but I figured it out before even looking at the pamphlet. It's simple like a belt I had when I was a teen. It's a lot less expensive than the baby k'tan I just purchased and quicker to get baby in and out of. In fact I leave the empty sash on while driving to have it ready and it's quite fashionable. It's inconspicuous unlike the baby k'tan and the backpack looking carriers. Unlike my k'tan I can leave this one on in between carrying sessions. I'd imagine the back pack ones would be hotter and time consuming to put a baby in. My baby loves being in the sling and falls asleep nearly every time. I haven't breastfed in it but it looks like it will be very easy. It is a thick cotton material but it's baby that makes things warm and can't help that. It's comfortable for indoor use and shopping.

Like it, it’s not too flexible but I enjoy it

It was a little difficult to figure out how to use it at first but once I got it down, it's been great! I've been using it to feed my baby in public and its has good coverage so I don't feel exposed. It's also great for doing chores around the house when my baby doesn't want to be put down.

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!

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.

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.

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!

It’s a good product for sure but tricky to get the hang of if you’re not used to sling carriers.
