Ring Sling - Yaro, Dandy Spring Sunrise (RS19) Due 05/05/2024

Overview:

Ring slings are a lovely option for newborns, babies who want to constantly be on your hip, and toddlers whose legs get tired and want a quick 'up'.

This is a very joyful wrap fabric in lovely turquoise - blue - pink -purples, made of a combination of cotton and natural bamboo.  The coolness of bamboo makes it a great summer option, but it's also great for year-round use. The colour bands run down the long length. This makes it easy to tighten colour-by-colour through the rings to achieve a great fit, as well as a quick visual check that you've got a good 'seat' - the colour that is supporting under baby's bottom and thighs shouldn't be visible on your baby's back!   Great for learning ring slings!

Yaro are based in the Netherlands, with slings made in the EU. They're sold in the UK on specialist sling websites Slings and Things and Koala Slings.  The quality is really high for the price point - usually around £40-50. Woven wrap fabric like this is often price
