    Recommend me a ring sling!

    I currently have an ergo with newborn insert that I love, but it's too fiddly and awkward for childcare/kindy drop offs, and I'm not that into my hug a bub at the moment either. DD2 is a tiny 10 week old, plus she is on home oxygen so I need to carry a tank in a back pack at the moment. I'm looking for something quick and easier to pop her in for the drop offs.

    TIA

    I have a Sakura bloom linen sling. Love it.
    I bought it because of the linen and now that it's worn in it is just perfect. Soft and silky yet strong and cool. I got it in a dh suitable colour, but since he never wore it I wish I'd picked my fave lol.

    I have a silk Sakura Bloom ring sling and really love it too. I used it heaps and heaps with DD3. I bought a breeze ring sling for summer (she was a winter bub) and I hate it - the fabric slips through the rings and I don't feel like she's very secure in it.

    I have an Ellaroo RS which I was very happy with.

    I have a Lenny Lamb ring sling that I have loved. So soft, so easily adjustable.

    Do you sew at all? I can PM you some great instructions for a very comfy, easy to make pleated shoulder ring sling. I've made a few for myself and friends, and they're really quite nice, and a lot cheaper than buying one, generally, and of course, you can make it exactly as you like it, with accents on the tail or pockets, or whatever.

    I'm only new to RS myself but I just brought a Gyrasol and I love it!

    It's 100% woven cotton which makes it nice a sturdy but lovely and comfy at the same time
