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 lovely demonstration ring sling with extra features for learning - a very bright orange stripe is really helpful! If you aim for the orange to be at the bottom it forms a quick 'safety check' - if you can see orange on your baby's bottom or back, it's a clue that the bottom of the sling isn't snugged up into a safe seat. Great for learning and reassurance!
