Every Baby Needs a Sling and Every Mom Deserves One. Snuggy Baby banded ring sling carriers are a wide lightweight sling that will keep you cool in hot weather. These slings are made with 100% linen with a decorative band of cotton fabric to add style and personality. Linen fabric is lightweight and one of the strongest fabrics available. Linen is a great fabric to keep you and your loved one cool in hot weather. The open tail can be used as a great cover to provide protection from the sun, wind, or rain. It also provides excellent coverage as a nursing cover allowing for discrete nursing in public. The decorative band at the bottom of the tail allows mom to share her sense of style as she carries her loved one close. The shoulder of the baby ring sling carrier is pleated to decoratively provide even distribution of your baby's weight without bunching or cutting into your shoulder. I have also added a matching decorative band across your shoulder to make the sling more attractive. Wearing the band across the top of your shoulder will ensure the correct placement of the rings when wearing the sling. The aluminum rings of the baby ring sling carrier are secured with double stitching (4 rows of stitching total) to ensure the security of your loved one. I exclusively use SlingRing rings which are specially designed for baby wearing and are designed to be lightweight and free of welds. Snuggy Baby ring sling carriers are 100% adjustable so they work for multiple caregivers, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the benefits of babywearing. You adjust the baby ring sling carrier to fit you, so no matter what your body type is you can get a custom fit every time. As your baby grows, you will continue to adjust your baby ring sling carrier for the perfect fit. You never need to worry about needing a larger size. All of my baby carriers come with an instructional DVD that will show you how to wear your baby in several different positions. You can also view the videos on this website.

This is a wider sling and perfect for larger babies. It provides a deep secure pocket for newborns and still provides plenty of support for a wiggly 3 year old.
