QuirkyBaby QuickPick: choose the Maya Wrap Lightly Padded Ring Sling if --

you want a highly adjustable, compact front carrier for a small baby and a poppable hip carrier for a toddler
you want the ease of a pouch-style sling that's fully adjustable
you'd like a baby sling carrier with a built-in nursing cover and sunshade
you'd prefer a sturdy, washable, breathable hand-loomed cotton fabric for your baby sling
you want light padding in the shoulder of your ring sling

What It Is

The Maya Wrap lightly padded ring sling is a length of hand-loomed, 100% cotton that threads through a set of two lightweight but strong aluminum rings. It features a unique, lightly padded shoulder that comfortably cups your shoulder and pleats that spread out to distribute baby's weight across your shoulder and torso. The unpadded edges of the ring sling adjust easily for a custom fit but won't slip out of place. There's a pocket in the ring sling's tail with a concealed zipper for carrying small, lightweight items. The Maya Wrap's hand-loomed cotton fabric is sturdy but highly breathable and softens with time and use to a wonderful linen-like feel.

How It Works

The fabric of the ring sling's tail is threaded through the rings. This forms a pouch for baby to be carried in. You put on the ring sling by slipping your head and one arm through the loop, with the rings and tail in the front. Baby goes in a front or hip carrying position in the pouch formed by the two edges. You adjust the fit by tightening or loosening the edges, or "rails," at the rings. The ring sling's tail can be left flowing loose, wrapped around the rings for a more tailored look, tucked into the pocket of the sling, or used as a cover for discreet breastfeeding, weather protection, or a sleeping baby. The Maya Wrap lightly padded ring sling comes with an instructional pamphlet and DVD; you can preview the DVD here.
