@imudra I'd be wary of some (not all) of the Etsy sellers. Reputable ring slings use rings specifically tested for load-bearing and can tolerate the use as a baby carrier. Some folks on Etsy use decorative purse rings, and they're unsafe. I'd feel better working with a brand with a solid reputation. SBP Ring Slings are really well made (I have one and it's fantastic); their linen ones run about $60 and are a good fabric for summer.
I would really love to wear Josie more than I did DS1. Do any of these carriers work with plus size mommas?!? Even my Moby often feel secure enough because I couldn't wrap it twice around my waist.
@huzzahuzza, I know Tula's do. If you have a Target nearby, you may be able to try on a few different carriers there. I know mine usually has a Tula, Ergo, Lillebaby, Bjorn, and a few others out where shoppers can handle them.
I just ordered a baby ktan breeze from Buy Buy Baby (used 20% off coupon). I hope that helps this summer with the heat in SC! My sister had a baby a month ago, so I will probably try it out on him when I get it!

The baby ktan comes in different sizes. I am sure some others do as well, but I'm definitely not a baby carrier expert. I hope you find one that works for you!

They're not as fancy as SBs, but they're really nice and well made.
