Bella Slings

Ring slings are used very similarly to native slings.  They are great for newborns all the way until you can't carry your baby anymore.  The great thing about ring slings is that they are adjustable.  As your baby grows, or if anyone else would like to use the sling it is easy to make the transition.  They can also be used for cradle carry, hip carry, back carry, etc.  

I didn't get a ring sling until my baby was old enough to hold her head up and be carried in the hip-carry, so I don't have personal experience with newborns and ring slings. 

I used my ring sling when we would fly and it was wonderful because it was easy to slide her into and out of the sling in the tight quarters on the plane.  

Pros:  The adjustable rings make sharing your sling easy.  As your baby grows, you won't need to worry about them outgrowing the sling.

Cons:  Some people don't like having to fiddle with the rings whenever they put the sling on.  It has more fabric so it is bulkier to carry in your diaper bag, and the rings make a terrible clanging sound in the drier (lol).  The weight is all on one shoulder, so if you are carrying your baby for a long time you might need to switch shoulders or carries if your shoulder begins to hurt.

Bella Slings ring slings are made with 100% cotton fabric.We buy our rings from slingrings.com and each ring is individually tested to hold 250 pounds.  I use aluminum rings that are lightweight and very strong.  As you can see from the picture to the right, I fold the sling accordian style around the ring so that it will fan easily over your shoulder and provide the most support. 

I sew over the weight-bearing seam at least 4 times to ensure that you will never have to even think about the safety of your sling.

Bella Slings custom, handcrafted ring slings start at $35.00.  You can make your Bella Sling your own with lots of fun additions for super-low prices.  Options like reversible slings, pockets, and pacifier holders are easy to add to your order.
