I agree, Cristina and Laurel. There is not just one kind of sling to carry a baby one way. There are so many different kinds. I used to help families figure them out, and I have never met a parent that I could not help find a carrier for that worked for them.

You can use a sling or a pouch on your back, and you can use a structured carrier or a wrap as well to do back carries.

In addition to slings, there are non adjustable pouches (hotslings, peanut shell), adjustable pouches (mom and me pea in the pods, kangaroo corner), woven wraps (girasol, didymos), stretchy wraps (moby), mei tais (baby hawk), structured carriers (ergo, beco), chuneis, podaegis.

The list goes on and on, and there are a number of brands under each type. Just see thebabywearer.com. It’s wild.

That sling is gorgeous! I love it. My kid was never a sling fan, but he loved a pouch and the wrap. I hope my next one loves the sling because this is really a gorgeous sling.

Lovely sling, beautiful mama! And Laurel, totally agree with you. All babies are capable of being worn in a carrier. I never got the hang of cradle carry in a sling like that, but loved tummy to tummy and hip carries in one. And my 3 year old still loves a ride on mama’s back in one of our many woven wraps!

When I meant “slingable,” I meant it’s possible to find a baby carrier that you can wear your baby in – whether it’s on your back, front, or in a wrap, mei tai, baby bjorn or something else! I agree that ring slings like this one aren’t for everyone, you have to find the sling/carrier that’s right for you and your baby.

the sling’s not that pretty. I personally prefer solid colors, and besides that she doesn’t seem to be wearing it properly.

this is the prettiest sling I’ve ever seen… unfortunately it seems to be made of normal fabric and not wrap-fabric… which supports the baby a lot better than normal fabric.

Beautiful sling! My son didn’t like it (maybe I didn’t get the hang of it right) but he loves the moby wrap. He is 12 months and still loves it
