Vlokup Cotton Ring Sling

I tried every type of carrier to wear my three month old. Aaaannnnd she hated every single one, no matter what I did. She’d go red in the face and cry if I even tried to put her in a carrier/wrap. Lol. But this mama needs to get some stuff done during the day and not be bound to the bed or couch all day. I don’t want to be a cave troll any longer. I really wanted to try a ring sling as my last hope to baby wearing. However, most of them are super expensive and I couldn’t afford $60-70 ring slings. So when I found one that was A.) CUTE and B.) affordable, I jumped on it. $36 didn’t seem so steep to try out something my baby would potentially hate. For the comments in the reviews to the material, I would liken it to the texture of linen. It’s nice and breathable and soft, yet sturdy enough to make sure baby is nice and secure. There is a bit of a learning curve to it, but it’s more comfortable that traditional carriers and wraps in my opinion once you figure it out. This is lovely and I absolutely adore it and will use for her and future children.

Definitely seems great quality but the material was too stiff for me. I prob needed to wash and use it multiple times but i ended up returning

Update: Baby is now 13 months old and we STILL use this carrier the most often. It's great for taking the kiddo out shopping (she prefers this to sitting in the cart, because she can see forwards and I prefer not having to chase a toddler around). I also love that I can run it through the wash so easily, because it inevitably gets crumbs/sticky fingers on it, and I tend to use the tail to wipe down toddler's face/boogers because I never seem to have actual wipes with me... I love this ring sling so much! It works great for both my husband and I (or any other family members who want to carry the baby). We've been using it since baby was about 2 months, and it is still comfortable at 6 months for both baby and adult. I like that I can wear it to run errands and get baby in/out of it without much adjusting (plus I just keep it on while we're in the car, rather than having to remove it like the big Ergobaby carrier we have). Pros: - Easy to put on & adjust - Easy to wash - Folds up small, so perfect to tuck into the diaper bag - Material isn't stretchy, so baby stays in place/doesn't slip down even on long walks - Breathable - worked great on hot summer days Cons: - Color is darker (more of a terracotta/burnt orange) than shown in picture. Though this is a plus in my book, and I get a lot of compliments on the color. - Fabric does tend to bunch, so I have to re-string the ring and straighten it out after 5-6 uses. This only takes a minute though.

I love this sling! It’s very sturdy and breathable! I didn’t think I’d love the pocket as much as I do. My one major con is that it’s not very soft, and hasn’t softened with washing. It is a little long, but useable. I’m 5 ft and it doesn’t touch the ground (although it does go past my knee) Pros: Sturdy Breathable Pocket is great Very comfortable Con Not soft Color is different than pictured (but still pretty)

I LOVE this ring sling! It feels so much more secure than my old one I have. This one really holds my baby in position well without shifting or stretching. she is very comfortable in this sling and I don’t have to adjust it constantly. It is easy to get her legs into the recommended “M” position for baby carrying. And a feature that I just LOVE is the pocket!! It is so useful. It’s a nice large sized discreet pocket. I can fit all kinds of things, my phone, baby toy, a bottle/sippy cup, etc. The orange rainbow design is so pretty and I’ve already received so many compliments. If your unsure of how to use a ring sling, YouTube has so many tutorial videos! Also with a little practice(I practiced at home first), the ring sling is a great wrap to be able to breastfeed on the go! I was able to breastfeed while walking around the zoo using a ring sling and using the extra “tail” as a cover to be discreet. I highly recommend this company and this wrap!

A really great ring sling for the price. I washed my sling in the washing machine before I used it the first time as the fabric was quite stiff, but even after just one wash, it softened up considerably. I did not put it in the dryer - I hung it to dry and it dried very quickly. The material is thin but sturdy so I think will be great for the summer. The rings themselves feel a little low quality (though not in any way unsafe!) but changing out rings is an easy thing to do. I really love the color in person, it’s shades of coral pink and gray. I previously owned a more expensive brand and I have to say other than the difference in rings (these are a matte finish) I think the quality is very similar. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

There are things that I love about this carrier. The first being that my baby is very close to my body. When I bend over or move about, it doesn't feel like he's going to fall. I have a front carrier that I use when I need to quickly attach him to me. When I wear it, he shifts a lot when I make sudden movements. Second, it weighs nothing. The 100% linen wears very easily. Third ties in with 2. Because it is made of linen, it's not hot like my front carrier. What I don't like... It's a pain in the ass to put on. I've watched YouTube videos. I can do it relatively easily now, but it still takes 10 minutes to make sure it's not twisted, it's sitting correctly across my back, and that the fabric hasn't mashed up in the rings... And finally situate his beautiful little body into it. IT IS A LOT OF WORK! If you're looking for something quick, this is not your carrier. Mostly what I don't like is that it's supposed to cap your shoulder. My boy only weighs 13lbs now. When I wear this, after it's been on for 30 minutes or so, I feel like my arm is going to fall off. As I said before, I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos (at least 15) to make sure I'm wearing it properly. I don't think that there is a way my shoulder and arm aren't going to hurt. Because of this I only wear it for short periods of time. I can't imagine what this is going to feel like as he grows. One video I watched had a toddler in it... There's no way! I'm not saying that it "probably" would be able to support a 2 year old (IDK). What I do know is that you'd loose the feeling in your arm pretty quickly. Seriously! I do use it regularly because of there are some good things. I don't wear it as often as I'd like or for as long as I'd like because of the arm and shoulder pain. I hope this helps.

I was worried my back would hurt from baby wearing but if you start them as newborns you get stronger as they grow. We are at five months now and I’ve been using this sling since my baby was born and love it. It’s really easy to transfer the baby to and from her car seat into the sling. She stayed sleeping many times! It’s comfortable too-I recommend watching sling vids to figure out the best way to carry your baby-it doesn’t have to be from this company just watch baby wearing videos using the sling or ring wrap. You can adjust tightness and tension easily so your baby is safe and comfortable. There is also a pocket on the wrap! Very convenient and fits my phone, keys and burp cloth. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the wrap! It’s a really nice design and color.

Beautiful fabric, light, airy and comfy. Perfect for hot weather. The colour is beautiful. After washing a few times the initial itchiness went away and now it's soft.

Stiff and not for plus size moms
