Very nice! And how cute is that little tongue sticking out! I'm so tempted to try a wrap conversion ring sling (and mei tai) - let us know how you like it!
I wore Ari in the sling for about 3-4 hours total last night, including a mile walk. I was actually amazed at how comfy it was. I was a little skeptical about being able to wear the ring sling that long because I have some back & shoulder issues, but I mainly wanted something for quick in & outs. I was pleasantly surprised - once I got tightening the rails down pat, I could barely tell I was wearing him. He weighs about 18.5 pounds now, so he's chunky.
SBP does all of the ones Giselle carries. Jan (the SBP lady) has a very limited selection of Didymos conversions on her site too. It's about $16 to convert one if you send it to her I think? If you Google Didyslings, Didymos actually makes their own now too, but I only saw them for sale in Canada & Europe.
Anyway, I highly recommend the ring sling.

Ha ha!
Thanks for the info. I've been eyeing one of the SBP conversions for sure. I was kind of a ring sling failure before and I like rebozo well enough but I wonder if a ring sling would be easier to adjust and get comfy than rebozo - I have the worst time getting the shoulder in the right spot so I wonder if having the fixed pleats would help. It seems like it's personal preference in the end.
Glad you found it supportive. I also have trouble with one shouldered carries. I haven't tried a Neobulle yet so I'm thinking I might just have to try one of Giselle's NB ring slings ;-)
