Advantages: Padded shoulder, pocket, strong fabric, easy to use

Disadvantages: Ring slings have a more limited number of positions

I bought this sling when my baby was 12 months old. I had previously used tied Mei Tai styles only. My little one was going through a phase of looking to be held, then looking to be down. I would hardly have my Mei Tai tied and she would want out. So I purchase this ring sling in the hope that it would be quicker and easier for lifting baby in and out.

I bought the Olive green colour which is lovely and matched a lot of my wardrobe. I wore the sling most of the day and people hardly noticed. I was able to lift my little one up and pop her in the sling within seconds. I wore my baby on my hip which was perfect for me when working in the kitchen.

There is a small zip pocket in the tail of this sling which is great for car keys, wallets or soothers. The fabric was strong and washed easily without any signs of fading.

The padded shoulder made a big difference and allowed me to wear my baby for longer periods of time.

Sling comes with a great instructional DVD.

Summary: Great Ring Sling especially for first time use. Perfect with an active toddler
