The Ring Sling is the easiest and quickest way to wear your baby. The fabric is short and manageable; as it never needs to touch the ground, it’s more hygienic and easier to keep clean. There's no wrapping or buckling involved, and after a little practice, putting on the sling can be done by yourself in a matter of seconds.
