Ring Sling Baby Carrier - USA Lab Tested, 100% Natural Cotton Muslin, Breathable & Ergonomic Ring Sling Grey Rose

I’ve tried at least 6 different types of babywearing items, moby self wrap, moby all season hard wraps, soft clip wraps, sturdier wraps that clipped, sometimes different brands of the same kind, and my baby never really loved any of them. They were either too constrictive or too loose and she didn’t feel secure enough. When I bought this one, I didn’t have high hopes since she was like 8-9 months at that point and I figured if she didn’t like babywearing now, she never would. The learning curve on this was definitely there but once I figured it out she loved it! She felt so close to me and I was able to adjust it so that it was tight enough on her back but not too tight on her legs. This was very important to me because I tried a sling wrap that wasn’t adjustable and she constantly felt like she was going to slide right out of it or fall backward because the back would be so loose she’d lean back and slide. I always keep my arm around her but the fact that it was so unsturdy seemed to cancel out the convenience that it was supposed to bring, in my opinion. This wrap, however, is fantastic! I use it literally every single time we go out and she’s been a big fan of it ever since I first put her in it. She feels happy to be close to me and at the same time gets to be cozy while we shop. It did get to be a bit harder to keep her in it when she got to be over 20 lbs but that was because it puts quite a bit of pressure on the knees and thighs once they’re that big. However, I circumvented that by using it alongside the tush baby and that has been an absolute game changer. The sling wrap keeps her secure and close to me, not letting her fall or slip, while the tush baby keeps her up high and takes the pressure off her her knees and thighs. It’s amazing and I’ve just ordered a second wrap because I just love it so much. I will 100% be getting this again for the next baby and have recommended it to ever single mom I know who either has a clingy baby or is just like me and wants to have a good way to keep the baby calm while shopping. It’s been a definite game changer, don’t pass of this! I’ve tried other brands, including moby, and this is by far superior. It’s kind of crazy because I expected the brand names to win out but I prefer this one by far over the others. It just seems to adjust easier and the fabric is so breathable and soft. I also love the pocket in front, which I use to either hold my phone or even snacks to feed my baby. I throw it on in the car before we leave and that way I’m ready to just slide there in it once we get to where we’re going. I don’t really have a preference for color and don’t care about matching but the color options are nice nonetheless. It very conveniently folds down very small and that makes it nice to either store in the diaper bag or just keep in the car. I’ve also recently discovered that it’s a phenomenal way to keep the baby still while eating out without a high chair, and you just need to loosen it a little bit so that they can sit in your lap but they still feel like they don’t have the room to start trying to escape like they would if they were just loose on your lap. And I used it at the Dr while getting bloodwork done and they told me that it was the calmest and most secure way of holding a baby that they had ever seen. I literally just adjusted it so that she was sitting facing forward and then trapped her unused arm under the ring and into the sling and then placed my free arm over her to hold her still. It was much better than just having them hold her down and she felt a lot more calm being against me. This thing is just amazing in every aspect and I’m so glad that I took the risk. It’s worth every penny.

I wish I purchased this sooner. I was skeptical about buying a ring sling for a while now, until I found this affordable option and have zero regrets. It took me a few tries to fit it to my comfort level, but now I can adjust it very quickly when I put the baby in it. Its breathable for both mom and baby, and comfortable to wear. My baby falls asleep as soon as she is placed in it. It also works well as a breastfeeding cover up when out and about. I sit down, losing the straps and lay baby safely to her side for a feed and use the sling as a privacy cover up. I have already recommended it to multiple moms I have met in passing. Primarily because they ask what sling I use.

Update #2: I like it! It took some time for me to get the hang of the ring sling but I think I’ve mostly got it now. My 3 month old is snoozing away in the sling as I type. It took me longer to figure out because I had some confusion about which way the pocket should face at the beginning vs the end. I wish that was more clear in the instructions because that would really have helped newbie me figure out how to properly thread it. But overall, the product seems to be good quality. The fabric feels sturdy but not too heavy. I also think the company has good customer service. I still need to fine tune my skills with it but I think I’ll get good use out of it. Update #1: Mebien contacted me directly, in a very timely manner, and sent me a new one that looks great. It seems to look and feel like good quality. They also assured me that the original one I received was safe to use and that the imperfection is just an aesthetic problem instead of structural. Will update again once I wash it and try it. Updating my review to 3 stars for great customer service and Good appearance of the product. Original review: I didn’t even open the ring sling all of the way after receiving it and I saw an imperfection in the fabric right off the bat. Maybe it’s not a big deal but I did read the instruction manual and it said to carefully inspect for damage as it can cause some problems in the safety of the sling. I added pictures but I am returning it and I don’t think I want another one. I’m pretty disappointed because this one has good reviews but was more affordable than other ring slings. On a separate note, I’m also annoyed that I have to go into a store to return this for free when I’ve been avoiding any unnecessary exposures with a newborn at home during this pandemic. Anyways, it may be a good product but mine seems faulty.

I prefer the ring sling to a wrap carrier any day! It's so much easier to get my baby in and out of this. The material is nice and thick, and holds up in the wash really well. It also seems to do a good job holding my baby safely. Definitely watch some videos for some tips and tricks for extra head support. Very happy I purchased this.

Edit: after having for about a week, I’ve noticed it doesn’t stay tight. I ordered a different brand with different, more sturdy material and that seems to be helping. My new sling isn’t as breathable, but I feel like it’s more secure. Love the versatility of this ringsling! It’s a baby carrier, nursing cover, hands free pump holder, car seat cover, etc. I use it for my 6 week old twins and also my 2 year old. Beautiful, light fabric!

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.

Love my ring sling and use it all the time - grocery shopping, the park, the zoo. Took a couple weeks to get good at it but now it’s so fast and easy. Quality is great, sag is minimal to none after a few uses, washes great, and can work as built in burp cloth lol

This is an affordable and perfectly usable ring sling. It is well made. The fabric is soft and the sunset pink is a sort of flesh color that goes with anything (not exactly as pictured, it has more orange/tan in it and less pink). However, there is a big difference in ring slings as you go up in price. I did not know that until I received a WildBird (a mid-grade brand) as a hand-me-down. That one is more comfortable and easier to use than this one because the fabric is more substantial. Because the fabric is thinner on this one, it has a tendency to stretch, making it more difficult to adjust initially and then requiring adjustments throughout the carry as baby’s weight settles. This one is also more likely to dig in at certain spots and distributes weight less evenly overall, leading to a less comfortable carry for mom. That said, I used this sling almost exclusively before receiving the other, and was satisfied enough to use it almost daily. If this is your price range, this is a great sling!
