It took me some time to break it in, so if you find a used one, I'd go for it. But I'm looking forward to using it with my newborn this time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688396 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 23:19:29 +0000 bookwormmama 2688396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: thanks for the input! That's what I'm worried about...a lot of people said it's pretty thick, and I remember being so hot during the first couple months postpartum last time, I don't want to add to it! I'm much further north than you, but our summers are still in the 80's-90's and humid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688394 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 23:13:09 +0000 wheres_c 2688394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the beco after not being able to justify the $$ for a sakura.<br /> Honestly I haven't quite got the hang of it yet. The fabric is really heavy also - I'm in Texas and I think it would be too hot for our summers.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688393 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 23:09:33 +0000 bookwormmama 2688393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: @peaches1038: thanks for the advice on getting a broken in carrier...that never crossed my mind! I'll keep an eye on that Facebook group and at consignment stores in my area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688373 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 22:02:12 +0000 peaches1038 2688373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried the beco RS but I agree with @MenagerieMama: in that a used sling is so great bc it's already broken in. I bought one new and it took foreverrrrr to break in.<br /> Babywearing on a budget is a great fb group.<br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/156002947911287/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/156002947911287/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688368 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 21:38:33 +0000 MenagerieMama 2688368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried it but got a really nice and broken in used Sakura Bloom RS on a b/s/t group for $50. Maybe try there if that's what you really want? I didn't want to deal with breaking in anyhow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688122 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 14:35:16 +0000 bookwormmama 2688122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am due with #2 this June and would like to try to babywear a lot with this baby. I had a ktan with my DS but it was a little tight and would definitely be too small now. I also didn't love it so I'm not interested in replacing it. I also have an Ergo, but will be selling it for something with better lumbar support. I like the idea of a ring sling for early on and have been looking at options.</p> <p>I was looking at the Sakura Bloom after seeing lots of recommendations for it, but while looking I stumbled across a Beco ring sling for half the price ($55). I've found some reviews and a lot of people really it, especially for the price point, but several people mentioned that they disliked the weight and feel of the fabric. I'm worried it could be too hot for summer and about the possibility of skin rashes if the fabric is too rough. Has anyone here tried it? Any comments? </p>
