They are only un-secure if not done correctly. It's a bit of a learning curve to find the best fit but once you've found it there's no way baby's going anywhere and it's super comfortable.
I have an Ergo wrap that I've been practicing with (that's me with my chihuahua up there) but I wasn't sure how a RS differs. It looks less secure just from the pictures, but also pretty darn simple. I'm hoping to pick up a carrier or two for me and DH when the kids gets a little bigger, plus I don't think DH will want to deal with a wrap. I've recently heard a bunch of people raving about RS, so I was wondering if I should go that route instead.
I always had thought that a RS looked less secure, but once I actually tried one on at a babywearing meeting once DS was born, I was amazed at how secure it feels. With a good woven wrap, it's kind of grippy, so it grips on to the rings and itself as it goes through the rings, which is how it gets snug. And you can take it one step further, tying the tail around the rings (which I usually did just to get the tail out of the way).
