Ring slings are made from a single piece of fabric threaded through a pair of rings, creating a secure pouch for carrying a baby on the front or hip. They are quick to put on and adjust, and they fold up compactly to fit in a bag. Ring slings work well for newborns through to toddlers but require practice to achieve a snug, supportive fit. They are a great option for short up-and-down carries and quick trips.
