Ring Sling Recs?

I'm due with my first LO in May.  I have a Moby wrap for the newborn stage, and a Boba carrier for when she's older, but I'd really like a ring sling to use during the summer if the Moby is too hot.  What would you recommend?  I know very little about slings.

    Sleeping Baby Productions. A variety of options and fabrics (I have tencel, which I love) but I bet linen would be great for summer. Very affordable, great to work with, good turn around times.

    I was just looking at this website!  I have no idea what I'm looking for in a sling though, so I appreciate the feedback!

    Yeah, it's a little overwhelming. I just ordered the basic sling in tencel with a pocket. The pocket comes in handy for keys and pacifiers and such. I measured it with the instructions on the site. She's also really good about answering any questions you might have.

    Another linen option is the Maya sling, which I think has a slightly padded shoulder. You can buy those ready-made.

    Ditto Sleeping Baby Productions (SBP) ring slings.  I liked mine, but I couldn't use it for too long.  I have really big kids, so DD wasn't that old when I had to start using my carriers that put her weight on both shoulders.  Love my SBP RS though, and it will definitely get more use with future DCs.  It's also my only option for nursing in it.  I can't quite get it right with my others, but this one is really easy.
