As mentioned above, a ring sling is also made from a baby wrap. Additionally, the rings on ring slings simplify tying and putting it on.
A ring sling is a wonderful baby carrier that can be put on and taken off quickly. The special feature of ring slings is the combination of a baby wrap and two rings. For older children, it is more suitable to carry the ring sling on the hip. Many parents carry the sling in their bag or car to always have a quick-to-use carrier handy. The ring sling can be folded small and does not take up much space. Thus, it remains a loyal companion until the end of the carrying period.
For a comfortable carrying experience with a ring sling, there are several things to consider. Surely, before purchasing, you thought about what size you needed, which sling model was right for you, and what fabric a ring sling should have so that your little one can be carried safely in it.
To help you choose a ring sling, we have put together the following 4 purchasing tips for you:
As with conventional baby wraps, you have a choice of different lengths for a ring sling. The optimal length of the ring sling depends on the wearer's body shape. Ideally, the sling should lie around your body like a sash.
Tip: If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us. We are sure to find the perfect ring sling for you!
The fabric of a ring sling must not be too thin. You should always opt for a ring sling made of proper baby wrap fabric, as the thinner models on the market are unfortunately too unstable and thus easily tearable. Some no-name providers even advertise with transparent fabrics – these offer a different design, but unfortunately not the protection and safety that should be the highest priority for a ring sling.
Tip: When reading the description of a ring sling, make sure that the fabric is baby wrap fabric.

All major ring sling manufacturers focus on quality rather than quantity. Our ring slings are handmade and always undergo quality control. Some manufacturers produce ring slings by machine, but this does not always ensure the best craftsmanship.
Tip: If a ring sling appears poorly made to you, you should trust your gut feeling and decide against purchasing it.
With a ring sling, you have a baby carrier that is easy to put on and take off, and, just like a baby wrap, allows you to have both hands free. A ring sling creates beautiful moments outdoors or productive minutes at home.
Ring slings offer the following advantages:
Easy to put on: A ring sling, like any other baby carrier, should be adjusted to the wearer and the baby before use. If in doubt, you should consult a babywearing consultant. But the beauty of the ring sling is that this carrier can be adjusted more easily to the wearer and the baby.
Strengthening the bond with your child: As with all other baby carriers, carrying with a ring sling strengthens the bond between the wearer and the baby. This allows you to better read your child's signals and learn to recognize your child's needs more quickly.
More productivity with free hands: You shouldn't leave your little one unsupervised, and at first, you'll have very little time for daily household chores anyway. With a ring sling, you carry your little one with you and can easily complete shorter household tasks.
Uncomplicated stroll through the city: Especially in big cities, it's difficult to navigate through crowds with a stroller – let alone find your way through the narrow aisles of shops. Of course, you can also do your shopping at times when the cities are almost empty. But why should you let yourself be restricted when you can do what you want with the help of a ring sling?
The choice between stairs and elevator: With a stroller, especially in the first few months, you always have to choose between the elevator or detours. However, some train stations or shopping centers don't even have an elevator, which limits mobility for parents with a small child. With the help of a ring sling, you can simply take the stairs and avoid unnecessary detours.
Carrying newborns: A ring sling is particularly well-suited for carrying newborns. For questions about suitable carrying positions, you should consult a babywearing consultant and/or contact us, and you will automatically be advised by a trained babywearing consultant.
Skin-friendly and comfortable for wearer and baby: A ring sling is made from soft and skin-friendly baby wrap fabric. This provides absolute comfort for both you and your little one.
Customizable design: With us, you can have your individual ring sling made. Decide for yourself which colors your baby wrap should have and which rings should be used.
