Ring Slings

Design Ring Slings are a one-shoulder baby carrier based on the traditional slings of South America. They are simply a loop of fabric with rings attached at one end, through which you thread the other end, much like a belt. The width of the fabric creates a 'pouch' for your baby to either lie or sit in and the 'tail' section which hangs down is used to tighten and adjust the sling around your baby. All the slings we sell use industry standard sling rings which have been tested for safety extensively.

Choose It can seem a daunting task choosing the right ring sling for you and your baby, although the basic design is the same in all ring slings. Available in a variety of designs and fabrics, our range has something to cover all tastes and budgets. There is some variation in shoulder design and some slings offer a pocket on the tail as well. Washing instructions will vary from sling to sling and if machine washing and quick drying is of importance to you we recommend choosing a cotton or linen ring sling.

Use Ring Slings are a wonderfully versatile choice for your family, allowing both parents to usually share the same sling and also offering comfort to your baby from birth through toddlerhood. Babies can be carried in a variety of positions with this style of sling, including an upright carry from newborn, and easily moved from one position to another if needed for feeding or naps. All the slings we sell will arrive with written instructions, while some manufacturers offer DVD instructions as well. Our Using a Sling page has a section on Ring Slings directing you to other instructions and tips on the web.
