Baby Wrap Carrier Ring Sling-Baby Carrier-Extra Soft Turkish Cotton Muslin Baby Slings Baby Shower Gift Grey&Rose

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.

Update: I had to lower my rating based on the durability of the product. On the second wash (in a garment bag, with no visible damage before hand, and I always hang dry these kinds of items, so no dryer damage) it came out of the washer with a huge hole in it. I was shocked. Fortunately it was as at the bottom so I just shorten the whole thing and it still works great. Bottom line: hand wash only! And not the best sling if you are looking for something to see you through many years of babies. :-(Original post: I've owned a lot of baby soft carriers at this point. I've had four babies to carry. The balboa baby sling, the Moby classic wrap, the Maya wrap, the urgobaby soft carrier, the baby Bjorn soft carrier, and some others. This is by far the best. Firstly it is easy to get the baby in and out (unlike the Moby), it doesn’t feel heavy (like the Maya that has too much padding) or like you are a mummy ( unlike the other wraps, especially the Moby wrap). This a breathable lightweight material that is extremely soft. It is easy on your shoulders and back. (I have back issues and I can still carry my three year old daughter in it.) You can sit comfortably in it (unlike the backpack style ones). You can actually get asleeping baby out and keep him asleep. Lastly it doubles as a nursing cover. Best thing ever.

Just had a new granddaughter and excited to babysit her and wear her in this sling. I wanted a carrier that was easy to use and easy to store since I will only be using it when I have her. The material is made of a gauzy muslin material that is pink and gray. Just feed that tail through the double ring and adjust to the length that you desire. There is even a little pocket that holds your cell phone, bottle, etc. It can be worn several different ways to accommodate baby as she grows. Comes in a drawstring bag and stores away easily. Can be thrown in a drawer or even a diaper bag or purse.

My old ring sling fell apart. It was a very plain workhorse that got me through years of babywearing. My second will be walking soon so I wanted to treat myself to something pretty.This sling is really pretty. It's also very soft. It won't hold as much weight as my old plain linen one, but it's cheaper and better fit for a newborn.Would recommend for newborns to 3 months.

I used this wrap carrier for an outing and it worked great. Once I found the best position for my baby she slept comfortably for hours. Beautiful color and the pocket was perfect for my phone and keys.
