Flexible and close: why ring slings are the ideal carrier for travelling
You’re out and about with your baby and want to stay close without a bulky carrier or stroller? Then a Ring Sling might be just what you’re looking for. This practical baby carrier combines lightness, flexibility, and deep bonding — perfect for those everyday moments that need to be quick yet intimate.
Table of ContentWhat is a Ring Sling anyway?
A Ring Sling is a short baby wrap with two sturdy rings sewn into one end. The fabric is threaded through the rings, allowing you to easily adjust the fit for you and your baby. Unlike traditional wraps, there’s no tying involved — making the Sling especially quick and easy to use.
Why a Ring Sling is so practical in everyday life
When you’re on the go, every second counts. Whether it’s a trip to the store, a quick errand, or when your baby gets tired: the Ring Sling goes on and off in seconds. No fiddling with buckles — once it’s threaded, you’re ready to carry.

Stylish babywearing: Ring Slings fit your life
Many parents choose a Ring Sling not just for practical reasons — but also for its look. The high-quality materials, flowing fabrics, and wide range of designs make it a stylish companion. At the same time, it offers comfort and functionality.
You carry your baby on your hip or slightly in front — close to your heart. This position gives your child a great view of the world without feeling overwhelmed. Especially in busy places like shops or public transport, this can offer comfort and security.
What to keep in mind when using a Ring Sling
Even though the Ring Sling is very intuitive, it’s worth taking a moment to learn the proper technique. Make sure your baby is well supported — especially at the neck and back. The “M” position is important here too: legs bent, hips tilted slightly forward.
A quick tip: Fabrics made from linen or hemp are especially breathable and perfect for warmer days. Cotton is cozy and suitable year-round.
Conclusion: Closeness that fits in any bag
The Ring Sling is more than just a practical baby carrier. It’s a space for closeness and security — right in the middle of your daily routine. Whether you’re carrying spontaneously or every day, this type of sling offers freedom of movement for you and what your baby needs most: you.

FAQ: Common questions about the Ring Sling
When can I start using a Ring Sling with my baby?
You can use a Ring Sling from birth, as long as your baby is full-term and healthy. Especially in those first weeks, the Ring Sling offers closeness and supports your baby’s natural posture. Make sure they are in a good M-position and that the neck is well supported.
Is the Ring Sling suitable for long periods of carrying?
Yes, but with some limitations: Since the Ring Sling puts weight on one shoulder, it’s more suited for short trips or spontaneous use. For longer outings, many parents also use a classic wrap or a carrier with even weight distribution.
Can I use the Ring Sling in summer?
Absolutely! Ring Slings made from breathable fabrics like linen or hemp are ideal for hot days. They allow for great air circulation and can be quickly put on or taken off when it gets too warm. Go for thin, airy fabrics — especially with smaller babies.
Is using a Ring Sling complicated?
Not at all — with a little practice, it becomes second nature. Unlike long wraps, there’s no tying involved. You simply thread the fabric through the rings and adjust it to fit. A babywearing consultation or tutorial video can be a great help in the beginning.
