    Sakura's are great Ring Slings, beautiful wide shoulder and great fabrics. Easy to on/off, and if bub is colicy/refluxy the upright tummy to tummy position is a godssend.
    The advantage of a true RS is also it has a much longer useful time span than the Close Carrier, as you can do a hip or tummy carry with an older baby, and hip carries with toddler for as long as you can carry their weight. Having mt 2.5yo in the RS through the School car park is great compared to the little ones diving away from Mums.

    Close carrier. Really easy to put on, and comfy. I found it the only one with a newborn that I could put on without having to put the baby down.
