I’m liking
They’re small and easy to carry around- you can fold them up and pop them in your bag. Slings in a range of fabrics and there are some gorgeous ones available. They’re also cheaper than most other baby carriers, which makes them a good option if your budget is limited. In theory, ring slings are easy to pop your baby in and out of…
Things that made me go hmmm…
To be honest, I never really got the hang of the sling. I gave it a pretty good go but I always felt like my baby was going to fall out and I never really trusted that the sling would hold her properly. I know that some people swear by slings but I preferred other baby carriers.
The conclusion
Slings would be great for a quick trip to the shops when you don’t want to have to put your baby in a buggy. The compact nature of the sling makes they great for travelling or carrying around in your bag.
About Ring Slings
A baby sling is a length of fabric you wrap over one shoulder and around your waist. It holds a baby nestled in a curved or “C” position. The sling often has a ring at the shoulder which you can adjust. Ring slings generally cost $50-$60.
