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 soft wrap fabric in lovely blue - grey -pink stripes, made of 100% cotton. 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!
