Ring Sling
A carrier with rings for absolute flexibility!
The ring sling is so flexible! Using special rings, it adjusts without limit to size (people of different sizes can use it) and becomes exactly as tight or as loose as makes you feel comfortable!
It is very quick to put the baby in and take it out, very good for when frequent changes of position are needed. You can see detailed instructions for wearing your ring sling as well as a video about how quickly you can put on a cuddle carrier!
Very convenient for breastfeeding a baby in a reclined position discreetly (and the “tail” offers coverage if you breastfeed in public — nobody can tell what you are doing).
It offers many baby positions and great flexibility: it lets you place the baby exactly in the position you want, as high as you want and as close to your body as suits you!
It lets you easily leave your baby asleep in its cot without having to wake it up or take it out of the sling.
Some believe that the ring sling takes less time to put on than the Mei Tai. Still, watch this comparison video.
It distributes the weight using one shoulder, the back and the hip.
It can be tiring for very long trips or for a very heavy child (but not if you wear your baby often from newborn!).
It takes a little “learning” at first, to get familiar with how to adjust the “tail” at the right spots (it is, however, a small investment of time that is definitely worth it!).
It has rules you need to learn and follow. Just like when you drive your car, if you run a red light, it’s not the car’s fault. But once you have learned to drive following the rules, you can visit many wonderful places!
