The SlingEasy ring sling was reviewed for GYHB by Amanda Ryan, along with her husband, Stuart. They have two children – 3 year old Maisie, and 8 month old Lucas.
First Impressions
The SlingEasy ring sling came with easy to read, comprehensive instructions and pictures, making wearing the sling for the first time a simple process, however I feel using it for the first time with a very active 8 month old made it a more difficult task.
Ease of Use
The sling was comfortable to wear, spreading out across my back and the large shoulder padding made carrying my weighty boy easy. It was quick to put him in and after trying him in different positions found one both comfortable for him and me; however having an active boy meant that I did feel I had to keep a hand on him at all times as he could lean quite far back, which made his position on my hip a little sore after a while.
Value for Money
Their site shows the various colours and designs the sling can come in which would make it a great unisex product. The fact that it can be adjusted using the rings to tighten or loosen an neccessary means that one size fits almost everyone. The pricing makes this a good value for money sling.
Overall
I think that this sling would be ideal for babies to nestle in, perfect for breastfeeding while out and about, as it had enough fabric for good coverage, and for quick trips out with older children. I think if the child had been in this sling from younger months they would be more settled in it on longer journeys, and in different positions.
