Lite-on-Shoulder Baby Sling Ergonomic, 100% Cotton , Adjustable Baby Carrier

I started using this sling instead of a Moby wrap when my baby was about six months old. He was big enough I wanted to side carry, but that really wasn't comfortable with the Moby style wrap. I quickly switched to using this exclusively. He falls asleep in it when tired, and has enough freedom to not get bored in it when he's awake. I still use this with my now toddler.It's also far more convenient than a wrap. Just pick baby up, throw it over both your heads, and adjust. As a bonus, when he falls asleep in it I can lay him down in the wrap without waking him (not in his crib, as I need to place him on the floor before I slide out of it, but in the couch if someone will be sitting with him or on a blanket on the floor.).I tried a front carry with a two month old, and wasn't happy with this sling for that use. His chin kept touching his chest, so I was constantly adjusting him.When purchasing I was afraid that it might be too small, since I am a plus sized woman, but I find that it fits quite comfortably.It can get a little uncomfortable after prolonged wearing, especially if your little one has a favorite side. I have worn it for over four hours before, and my back felt worse than my shoulder, so it's not that uncomfortable.If you have a wiggly baby you'll have to tighten it periodically, but it adjusts very easily. For safety I check that he's secure fairly regularly, but I've never had the bottom slip at all when he's properly seated.Also, I was hoping to be able to do a back carry with this, and the wrap says you can, but cautions to only use it with a "cooperative baby" because it isn't very secure. I'm not comfortable with that, and may need to switch to a different style when my son is older, but for now I am very happy.I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a baby who sits up. I take mine everywhere and use it daily.

I've only had this for about 5 minutes but so far I love it! And he didn't seem to mind being in it at all. I bought this to take hiking so I could pick him up when the path is dangerous, slippery wet, muddy, to use just for a few minutes here and there. But I can also see using it when we're in really heavy crowds to more easily navigate and keep him from being stepped on. For reference, he's a short/long 14.5 pound dog. This is a great alternative to the much more expensive and mostly smaller pet slings.

I've bought multiple slings and baby carriers, including the Moby Wrap and a Seven Slings sling and a few more... this ring sling is easily the best baby carrier I own. It's the most compact, has the most padding in the shoulder (where you need it!!), and is the easiest to adjust. With other slings and wraps you have to take them off and put them back on, a lot of times--with this one, you just adjust the ring.I used this sling with my first baby, all the way up until he was 2 years old and 28 lbs and I was 8 months pregnant. Now I use it with my brand new baby. We love it. I have two Lite-on-Shoulder ring slings now, one in Fern Batik (great because bright yellow baby poo doesn't show up on it) and one in Tangled, which I love because it is so pretty and matches most of the things I wear. I definitely recommend this sling, 100%. You can't go wrong!

after my little one eats in the morning, I put her in this sling (she's 6 weeks now and 8 lbs) and I do my housework and the motion of the movements put her to sleep and this sling is the only way I am able to get done what I need to around the house! I also have the Baby K'tan wrap which I really like, but it can be thick and a bit cumbersome, and this wrap is very fast and easy to use. I see some reviews complaining about the rings but they feel sturdy to me and I haven't had an issue.

The pattern is gorgeous and my daughter seems to love it. She's currently on a trach so it makes it a bit difficult to get her in but once she's in she's as happy as a lark. Thank you so much for having this product it is absolutely awesome. By the way it also includes instructions which is terribly helpful for people like me that have never used one of these before.

There are much better ring slings. If this is your first upon entering into the world of babywearing, I would much rather suggest a Little Frog brand or Bibetts on Etsy. The padding along the top rail of this makes it almost impossible to properly tighten.

I bought this for our 12 month old to help free up my hands. She loved being "worn" as a smaller infant but has outgrew my previous carriers. I was looking for something that could hold a toddler and this is the ticket! She hangs on my hip very supported and loves just hanging out while we get stuff done around the house. I wish I would have bought this when she was born!

Hated it....couldn't get my newborn in it in any comfortable position. Very awkward and the padded edges make it difficult to pull tight.
