  • Uncomfortable to wear

    I was very hopeful this would work well for me and my baby. However, the material is not very soft and I found that this style sling puts a lot of pressure on the shoulder. My baby didn't seem to enjoy being in it and it just didn't work well for us. I tried a stretchy wrap type for baby wearing and it was much more comfortable.

    • I like it but my baby does not

      Great quality but my baby doesn’t tolerate being confined inside. We keep trying and will continue as she grows but as an infant this product was a bust.

    • Not super supportive

      This sling is okay for a carrying assistant. I would not feel comfortable using this for my baby without having at least one hand on my little at all times.

    • Great sling!

      I’ve been baby wearing for years and confidently know my way around a ring sling. This sling is perfect. It’s strong and the perfect blend of material to allow for breathing and sweat absorption. The rails glide very smoothly through the rings for adjustment for being brand new, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s also a way prettier gray than I had anticipated! I have used this with my 18lb 3 month old so far and will also be using it for my 3 year old who is about 30lbs. If you are new to baby wearing with a ring sling the company also provides a QR code you can scan on the manual that will take you to a YouTube tutorial. (Pretty handy!) All around this is a great sling so far and I’m really happy with my purchase. The only thing negative I can say is it comes with a smell but even so…you should always wash anything for baby before using so it didn’t even matter that there was initially a smell. 5/5 would definitely recommend!

    • Not suitable for plus sized moms

      This item was not safe to use with my infant, becasue of me being plus size the product didn't sit right even though it said it works well with all sized people . Not recommended for plus size. 😕 would like my money back but idk how to do that so I'm just going to leave this review

      Also this item is so uncomfortable the shoulder piece kept digging in and moving to where it would start pushing into me or my infants head. Not ok.

    • Not for me personally

      I liked this baby carrier and REALLY wanted it to work but for me personally I was not a fan of assembling it. I was worried I was going to drop the baby or not wrap it properly. It looked as imaged and came with instructions I just didn’t want to mess up. I ended Ho ordering a different carrier that was pre wrapped for my own comfort.

    • Good product

      Still learning how to use but it definitely helped pack around my 13 month old at Disney World when she wanted to nap on me, or in lines we couldn't bring the stroller. At times was a little uncomfy for me, but I would have trouble adjusting it. So it was user error & nothing wrong with the product itself!

    • Baby snuggles

      Super cute and easy to put on. We have a MOBY but this is much easier to just slip on. Only wish it came a little longer. My husband’s chest is a bit wider than mine and it was a bit snug for him when carrying the little one. TicTok has great videos for advice how to wear it best though!

    • Buy buy buy!!!

      Seriously was nervous getting this but I love it. It is a little hard to adjust but I mean when a baby is in the carrier it makes since. Seriously going to have to buy more I love it!!!!!! The pocket on it helped hold my phone, wallet and keys which was a bonus.

    • Liked it, but don’t use it

      I think this ring sling is probably a good one, but I found the ring difficult to adjust without a ton of force once the baby is in and consequently didn’t use much. The baby seems to like it, but quickly outgrew it and prefers carriers like the ergo baby or lillet now.

    • Baby sling

      I bought this sling for my newborn. I was looking at Wildbird slings and thought this would be a more affordable option. It was very hard to tighten when baby was in it - I think something to do with the rings? The wrap is great quality but unfortunately for me, not easy to use

    • THE BEST BABY CARRIER HANDS DOWN

      This is perfect for newborns alllll the way to toddlers. My babies love cuddling and I love holding them close when they need comfort while not putting too much strain on my arm. So this is perfect. This also fits so well in my diaper bag so I can take it out whenever I need

    • I can walk around while the baby is latched!

      I can let my son latch and walk around the house while he eats. I hated being a locked to my couch or bed while he ate. Now I can multitask. It’s comfortable and easy to adjust. He is so comfy in it also.

    • So hard to use

      Maybe I’m dumb (it’s quite possible) but this is the hardest baby carrier to figure out I’ve ever used. I’ve been trying for months and no matter what either baby or I are just super uncomfortable. It’s not easily adjusted like the tutorial suggests and I just hate it honestly

    • Overall happy with this purchase

      I like it but I worry he's gonna fall out the bottom... also its hard to tighten the material through the rings once he's in... good material and breathable. 4 stars I'm not unhappy with this purchase. I like to use it in the store and at gatherings so nobody is trying to touch or hold my baby since it's flu and cold season

    • Not for us sadly

      We tried and tried and I watched video after video and my baby and I both don’t like it. It hurts my neck and holds her in a way that isn’t comfortable and that is scary she may fall out. She is 3 1/2 months old so it may work better when she is a little bigger so I didn’t return. The fabric and the loops are very well made. A little spendy but worth the cost of it works like it’s intended to.

    • Good product but baby hates it.

      There is nothing wrong with this sling, but my newborn hates it. It is good quality and it is very well put together. Nothing wrong with it, my baby is just very very very picky. She doesn't like being worn. Good product for a good price. If you're looking for a quality baby wear, try it out.

    • Amazing! Helpful,

      I LOVE this sling!! I had a linen and bamboo sling 1st but it was so think and hard to use and these carriers are hard to learn to use in the 1st place. So I wanted a thinner more lightweight fabric N this carrier has been perfect!! I was able to learn and get comfortable using the sling that I can actually use the other 1 now too. But when it was hot outside. Summer months it was fabulous
      It disperses the weight very well maybe better than a stretchy wrap.

    • Super nice product

      This is the best baby carrier because it’s so fast to get them in and out and it distributes the weight so nicely that it doesn’t hurt your back to carry them. We take it to the beach with us so we can carry the baby and all our things. Makes carrying him totally hands free. Love it

    • Great sling

      I love wearing my baby with a ring sling and this is a great fit. The ring color has already faded after 1 month of use which is why I rated 4 stars, otherwise it’s a great value.
