Ring sling suggestions

I'm looking into a ring sling to use for our infant, but there's a ton of choices! I would love one that is light weight for our hot summers, easily adjustable and works great for breastfeeding. Any suggestions? Thoughts on one-size v sized? 

Thanks!

  • I've only tried one kind, but I'm very happy with the one I bought from sleeping baby productions.  Reasonably priced, great quality, and totally customizable.  I got linen which I think will be great in the summer.

    Agreed!  I've tried quite a few different (more expensive!) brands, and I still keep coming back to my SBP's.

  • Ditto the pps. Love my SBP.

    If you're concerned about sizing, my advice would be to pick the size that fits the largest person who might use it. (i.e. my husband is a foot taller than me, so we bought one to fit him) The shorter/smaller person will just have a longer tail, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, and the taller/bigger person will have enough fabric for a comfy fit. If you have any specific questions, Jan at SBP is good about answering emails.

  • Ditto the sizing responses. (Plus I prefer a longer tail so it worked out well.)

  • Other than fabric (which can vary with one designer/manufacturer) the main difference is the shoulder style--pleated, gathered, etc.  The SBP shoulder style that PPs mentioned seems to work for most people.  Also, those RSs come at a great price point.  Finally, they're made by a sweet work-at-home mom.

    You can't go wrong!
