Hip Baby Wrap Ring Sling Carrier – Sling Wrap Baby Carrier, Ideal Newborn Shower Gift, Soft Breathable Fabric, Lightweight Adjustable for Infant to Toddler, Comfortable Fit, Secure Hold (Oat)

I am desperately looking for a carrier 1) that doesn't hurt me and 2) my baby (3 months) will agree to ride in. I have an ergo, he won't go into it. I tried a hip seat and it hurt my low back, he is too little for backpack. He is a really big baby and very alert so he wants to be carried about and it takes often two arms to tote him around. I saw a lady at costco with a ring sling. Hers was Wild Bird brand, but when I looked them up, major sticker shock wow. I found this highly rated linen sling on amazon. BEAUTIFUL fabric, weighty, sturdy, and the blue berry color was elegant, almost a greyish blue heather. I would even dress up an outfit! It felt good for all of about 1 minute on. The fabric was very difficult for a beginning like me to manipulate, even though I watched youtube videos and read about pitfalls to avoid when wearing ring slings. My neck and shoulders aren't strong from former whiplash injuries. My baby shouted and squirmed and didn't look comfortable in it. He just was unhappy and tensed his legs so he wouldn't sit in a deep seated M position unless he was asleep. Oh well. I have to return it. This is a good sling and very quality and a great price if you are a ring sling wearer and your baby is a happy passenger. I think I'm going to have to tough it out until he crawls.....

Perfect for hot summers in the southern United States. My baby wants to be carried everywhere and we also have a stretchy wrap but this is better for us as I am nursing. The linen is very comfortable, we wash it in the washing machine and air dry. My baby sleeps soundly in it when she’s tired. Ring slings in general have a learning curve but this one ended up being easy to use with tutorials. I’m about 6 ft tall and weigh 160 ish pounds so you can see in the picture the tail ends just past where the picture does without wrapping the rings. We got this when my baby was 2.5 months old and she’s 5 months now. Still using it and plan to until she doesn’t want to be carried anymore. There are comments about the color, how it’s scratchy fabric, etc and all I have to say is I think the color is beautiful and the fabric did start out a little scratchy but my baby was fine until we broke it in.

Such a beautiful ring sling and well made, but not made for even slightly plus sized mama’s. 78-85 inches is a pretty standard length and the one I received was only 71. Unfortunately I had to return it and purchase from another company because it wasn’t long enough for me. Good quality fabric and I see no other issues with it, so if you’re average sized or petite this sling would probably fit you put perfectly!

I have a moby wrap, an Ergo baby carrier and this ring sling. Out of all three this is by far the best carrier we own. Its the easiest to store on the go, and it is light weight and breathable. It is easy to transition baby in and out of and makes for great transportation of baby on road trips and shopping trips. It has great quality fabric and looks very fashionable as well as the best function for mom and baby. I would buy this again in a heart beat. The problem with the moby wrap and the ergo are that they are much more bulky and take time and an additional person to put baby in and out of. I can use this wrap with out assistance from my husband.

Seems nice, but HOLY COW this brown fabric runs a TON! Stained me and baby on our first walk (not a heavy sweater) so i followed the washing instructions and the water is basically straight up brown. Im on my third rewash load now and the water is still brown. Looks like we chose the wrong color option. And now that we’ve washed it i doubt we’ll be able to return it. I hope Hip Baby Wrap reaches out with some sort of solution for us so i can up this review. Otherwise, the wrap is great!

So I really wanted to love this product, I just like it. First off the fabric gets stuck in the ring it’s not as smooth when tightening, the fabric sheds ALOT I can’t wear it or have it touch my clothes without leaving tiny shards of fabric. Overall I love the color and the concept, but I’d invest elsewhere if quality is more your forte.

I purchased this ring sling for the color and the price. The violet is really gorgeous and vibrant. I wanted to try a ring sling because it seemed easier than a woven wrap, and I was looking for something to throw on quickly around the house when I needed one hand and a little bit of extra support. I also use knit wraps, but sometimes I do not have time to work the wrap, but need a place to hold a fussy infant ASAP. My comfort rating is only 3/5, because my back just really cannot stand the one shoulder support for much longer now that my bub is 10+ lbs, even though I know this is supposed to be supportive up through 35 lbs. This is true for my wraps, too, and I found the only thing that is good for long term wear for me is a soft structured carrier once we crossed the 10 lb threshold. The other reason comfort was dropped a notch is because this linen is stiff and a bit scratchy. I do know the more expensive wraps tend to be made from softer, more expensive fabric, but overall the price point for this and the limited use it will see versus my SSC make this a limited issue for us. My daughter is not at all bothered by the fabric, so it's more from an observational standpoint on my part.

Very nice! It did come with an odor when I first received it but that was easily remedied by washing according to the label (which I would do with anything I use with my baby). A few reviewers complained that the fabric comes stiff and strategy, but that is ABSOLUTELY typical of real linen (woven flax). As you wash, wear, and use the sling it will soften and become very soft! But breaking it in does take a little time. Linen is also naturally anti-microbial, stronger when wet, and doesn’t stretch, which is definitely helpful when baby wearing. I have some very expensive slings, and this is similar quality to the $80-$100 linen slings I’ve used. Baby and I both love it and it was definitely worth the purchase.
