Vlokup Baby Ring Sling Baby Wrap Carrier - Extra Soft Baby Sling for Newborn, Infant, Toddlers, and Kids - Lightweight Breathable - Best Shower Gift for Boys or Girls, Orange Rainbow

I tried every type of carrier to wear my three month old. Aaaannnnd she hated every single one, no matter what I did. She’d go red in the face and cry if I even tried to put her in a carrier/wrap. Lol. But this mama needs to get some stuff done during the day and not be bound to the bed or couch all day. I don’t want to be a cave troll any longer.I really wanted to try a ring sling as my last hope to baby wearing. However, most of them are super expensive and I couldn’t afford $60-70 ring slings. So when I found one that was A.) CUTE and B.) affordable, I jumped on it. $36 didn’t seem so steep to try out something my baby would potentially hate.For the comments in the reviews to the material, I would liken it to the texture of linen. It’s nice and breathable and soft, yet sturdy enough to make sure baby is nice and secure. There is a bit of a learning curve to it, but it’s more comfortable that traditional carriers and wraps in my opinion once you figure it out. This is lovely and I absolutely adore it and will use for her and future children.

Easy to use

There are things that I love about this carrier. The first being that my baby is very close to my body. When I bend over or move about, it doesn't feel like he's going to fall. I have a front carrier that I use when I need to quickly attach him to me. When I wear it, he shifts a lot when I make sudden movements.Second, it weighs nothing. The 100% linen wears very easily.Third ties in with 2. Because it is made of linen, it's not hot like my front carrier.What I don't like...It's a pain in the ass to put on. I've watched YouTube videos. I can do it relatively easily now, but it still takes 10 minutes to make sure it's not twisted, it's sitting correctly across my back, and that the fabric hasn't mashed up in the rings... And finally situate his beautiful little body into it. IT IS A LOT OF WORK! If you're looking for something quick, this is not your carrier.Mostly what I don't like is that it's supposed to cap your shoulder. My boy only weighs 13lbs now. When I wear this, after it's been on for 30 minutes or so, I feel like my arm is going to fall off. As I said before, I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos (at least 15) to make sure I'm wearing it properly. I don't think that there is a way my shoulder and arm aren't going to hurt. Because of this I only wear it for short periods of time. I can't imagine what this is going to feel like as he grows. One video I watched had a toddler in it... There's no way! I'm not saying that it "probably" would be able to support a 2 year old (IDK). What I do know is that you'd loose the feeling in your arm pretty quickly. Seriously!I do use it regularly because of there are some good things. I don't wear it as often as I'd like or for as long as I'd like because of the arm and shoulder pain.I hope this helps.

The ring does not slip, and baby is secure, but there’s actually zero give in the fabric, and it is very rough even after washing. If you’re sensory like me, this material will not feel great against your skin. It may be nicer in the summertime though.

I love love love this carrier. Perfect for a velcro toddler lol. The price is awesome.

I waited to try baby wearing till my son was almost 6 months and I wish I had had this thing from the beginning. My friend let me borrow hers and then I found this one because I liked the color and the price. It wasn’t as soft as her. And if I wear him longer than an hour he will get little red lines where his bare thighs rubbed on the edge of the carrier.

I purchased several ring-style baby carriers. Unfortunately, this one was too short. I was excited about the pocket. But when I got the ring/wrap into place, the pocket and the tail ends of the fabric were way up. For reference, I'm 5'6", 210 lbs.PROS:Fabric is linen-like and light-weight. It's a little stiff for my liking, but it was tolerable.Great customer service! I received a refund and returned the item.

I love this sling! It’s very sturdy and breathable! I didn’t think I’d love the pocket as much as I do. My one major con is that it’s not very soft, and hasn’t softened with washing.It is a little long, but useable. I’m 5 ft and it doesn’t touch the ground (although it does go past my knee)Pros:SturdyBreathablePocket is greatVery comfortableConNot softColor is different than pictured (but still pretty)
