I didn't know what to look for, so when I found a print I liked, I posted the description on my local babywearing group and asked questions there. ( would it work for a nb and toddler, will it be ok for our weather, what's the shoulder style mean, etc.) it's a wcrs and I really like it. It has a hybrid shoulder which I find really comfy. I also have a sewfunky rs, I think it has a pleated shoulder, but I don't like it as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-slings#post-2171660 Fri, 08 May 2015 08:11:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2171660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Maya wrap, a SBP linen sling, and am looking at a Sakura Bloom silk.<br /> The Maya's are easy to get (amazon) and comfy. I really like having the tail pocket but the fabric can be a bit warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-slings#post-2171647 Fri, 08 May 2015 08:02:21 +0000 catomd00 2171647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think maya wrap is a good beginner rs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-slings#post-2171610 Fri, 08 May 2015 07:23:38 +0000 ninja 2171610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a linen ring sling from Sakura Bloom. Love it, but have nothing to compare it to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-slings#post-2171583 Fri, 08 May 2015 06:41:24 +0000 Chocoholic 2171583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a linen ring sling by sleeping baby. I love it, although it's my only ring sling so I don't have anything to compare it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-slings#post-2171581 Fri, 08 May 2015 06:37:22 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2171581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Rockin Baby sling, and it's a heavier canvas/cotton. I really don't recommend it- go for linen, or lighter cotton, or something woven. I find the canvas is way too thick (and wouldn't have ordered if I knew) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-slings#post-2171574 Fri, 08 May 2015 06:33:40 +0000 MenagerieMama 2171574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a used maya ring sling which seems like a great beginner RS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-slings#post-2171569 Fri, 08 May 2015 06:29:29 +0000 blackbird 2171569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought mine off Sleeping Baby Productions---she converted a wrap for me (which, you have to get a slot and then ti takes awhile, so i don't necessarily recommend that if you want one now). there are some sellers on Etsy who are certified....i'm pulling a blank on them right now....that i would be most comfortable purchasing from. Linen's a great option with summer coming! Or even joining a used group online (facebook has plenty of B/S/T groups) because a used one is so soft and easy to use and glides easily through the rings. it took a long time to break mine in, so I'm a big proponent of buying used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ring-slings#post-2171544 Fri, 08 May 2015 05:36:13 +0000 Kemma 2171544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anybody give me some advice as to what I need to look for when buying a ring sling? </p> <p>I'm new to baby wearing and have been using a stretchy wrap for my newborn however I'd like to get a ring sling but I'm not sure what I should be looking for.</p> <p>Can anybody give me some advice as to brands, fabrics, size etc, that would be best for a newbie? Thank you! </p>
