    Love this ring sling. Comfy with the padded shoulder, has a nice zipper pouch for little things, and babe falls asleep immediately. Oct 30, 2023

  • Fabric is very nice, rings are sturdy. Very easy to wash. My favorite part is the padded shoulder to help with the fabric digging. We are still trying to perfect baby wearing in this. Oct 06, 2023

    I used a Maya wrap 9 years ago and LOVED it. However currently I am having trouble with my new one. It doesn’t seem as easy to thread and baby is not comfortable in it. Maybe as baby gets bigger Aug 22, 2023

  • I love a ring sling for all ages! Quick and easy, folds up small, lightweight. May 04, 2023

  • Had a beautiful green one with my middle child and loved it so much! Comfortable for both of us. I really liked the pocket also. May be best part. I was able to fit everything I needed for a diaper ch Apr 22, 2023

  • I love this sling!! Easy to use and great for nursing in as well. Jan 11, 2023

  • Great for really little babies! My daughter loved the swaddled feeling as a newborn, great as a nursing cover, easy to stash in diaper bag. The pocket great to throw phone, keys, wallet, etc. in. Dec 09, 2021

  • Can’t wait to use with my little one. Jul 30, 2021

  • The padded shoulder and zippered pocket make this an obvious win for babywearing! May 20, 2021

  • I know. I know people looove the maya wrap and swear by it. But I find it bulky and super awkward to use. And honestly, it hurts my shoulder! The learning curve is real on this thing. Apr 13, 2021

  • I love this ring sling. We have another color and it may not be as soft as a velvet blanket, but it’s not bad at all. Easy to use once you get the hang of it. Light weight. Still use it with a 2yr old Mar 07, 2021

  • I got this as a gift and loved the pocket, but found other slings I liked better overall. The fabric was a little stiff and scratchy for my liking. Perhaps it would have softened in time with washing Feb 24, 2021

  • Was not worth it! Aug 07, 2020

  • Love this ring sling. Comes in a variety of gorgeous fabrics and is easy to use. There is a learning curve with ring slings, but once you get the hang of it they are a huge lifesaver. Jul 02, 2020

  • It’s surprisingly difficult to use a ring sling with an uncooperative newborn. May 09, 2020

  • I love to ring sling. This saved me with my first. However, it is much harder to maneuver than ring slings made with lighter-weight fabric. The pocket is a great feature, but can also weigh it down. Jan 01, 2020

  • My favorite!! I love the thicker material, so baby feels secure and doesn't slip. The pocket to hold phone/keys/diaper is also a must. I use this for infants and toddlers, and love it! Nov 30, 2019

    I regret this purchase. It was just too much fabric I felt like baby and I were drowning in fabric. It was much easier to use with my toddler but he only wanted to be in it for short periods of time. Sep 11, 2019

  • This is really great wrap I used this for my babies 1 month - 12 months. Aug 08, 2019

    • Dana S.

    • Bedford, New Hampshire

    I would not buy this in a do-over. It causes a lot of shoulder pain with even light use and requires too much effort to put on. I barely use it with my second. Jul 30, 2019

  • Uh, it has a pocket! Yes! I love ring slings for ever around the house when babies are new and tiny. It makes things so much better. The pocket is perfect for a phone and/or wallet. Jul 25, 2019

  • This was a great product to have to pop my daughter in to do things around the house. She loved being in it! Jul 22, 2019

  • it was a little more difficult to get the deep seat figured out then a stretchy wrap. As my baby grew bigger I began to favor the maya wrap. It is very sturdy and the padded shoulder is a plus! May 03, 2019

  • My go-to newborn carrier. Still great for quick trips with my toddler. So easy to use and store and take with you. It even has a pocket! Apr 03, 2019

  • Not my favorite. Seemed hard to support baby in :/ Jan 29, 2020

  • Definitely not the softest, snuggliest ring sling. The fabric can be difficult to adjust, but we also had some great snuggles in it when the kiddo was little. Dec 23, 2017

  • This wrap is not easy to use. The fabric gets stuck in the ring making adjustments difficult. It's too much work to get baby in and out. Oct 26, 2017

  • This is such an awesome ring sling for the price. I have several different brands of ring slings and this is the only one that has a pocket and I love the padded shoulder feature! Oct 07, 2017

  • I am not a fan of all the extra fabric with this wrap. Maybe because I'm really petite it just seems like too much. I didn't use this one until my baby was older, and he never liked it either. Oct 06, 2017

  • I have this in a medium, threading the wrap is a learning curve. I preferred to use this in only a newborn hold. Love the cotton fabric and the beautiful color choices they offer! Wish it had a pocket Sep 14, 2017

  • I love how easy this sling is to put on and pop baby into. And when it's not in use, it fits easily into the diaper bag. Jun 24, 2017

  • I have 3 different colors. Absolutely love the Maya ring slings. Easy to use. Fabric soft and yet secure. Allows for breastfeeding in the carrier as well as provides a cover if you choose. Beautiful May 24, 2017

  • I loved the thought of this ring sling, I was just sad that I couldn't figure it out. Apr 09, 2017

  • Skip the padded shoulder! I am experienced in slings and hated the fit, Oct 19, 2016

    • Dani R.

    • Allentown , Pennsylvania

    I love it once I was able to figure out how to use it. Now that my baby is bigger she wants to face front which presents a problem with this Carrier Jul 25, 2016

  • I bought this cause it was a cool looking carrier. My daughter hated it, and it was just really hard to carry a baby in cause she was so floppy in it. It doesnt really have any structure to it either May 07, 2016

  • Very nice ring sling but we never got the hang of it. Apr 22, 2016

  • I was very excited about this wrap. I found it very difficult to use and my daughter hated it. The fabric is very rough and skinned her toes when I was tightening it. I returned mine ASAP. Feb 15, 2016

    • Laura H.

    • United States of America

    I tried to love this, I really did. But when the baby is was small enough, it didn't seem like enough support and he wasn't comfortable or able to breathe well. When he got bigger just used the Ergo. Jun 24, 2015

  • Our absolute favorite carrier, we've taken it everywhere from Disney to using it around the house. Great way to hold baby close and still feel free, a breeze to put on and take off. Apr 28, 2015

  • Love this. Little guy didn't like the traditional wraps like the moby/boba but he enjoyed this. More breathable. Also easy to pop him in & out around the house. Feb 25, 2015

  • Love this sling wrap. It's not stretchy, so the baby does not sag. A great wrap for carrying the baby in and out of the car into stores, doctor's office, etc. Not ideal for hikes. Dec 08, 2014

  • Was usefule when she was very small around the house. Not sturdy enough for long walks and awkward once she got heavier. Becco was better for all things other than around the house "emergencies" Oct 17, 2014

  • We haven't actually used this since he was a tiny guy but it was the only carrier he would let us use for about 4 months. Oct 07, 2014

    • Liz C.

    • 30047, Georgia

    Best for newborns and littles, also great for a quick trip where I could just stash it easily in a bag. Great nursing cover or blanket in a jam too. Can wear >1 sling w/it, I did a toddler & babe. Sep 29, 2014

  • The padded shoulder strap wasn't wide enough for my broad shoulders - didn't distribute weight comfortably. I had to return for a sling without the tapered fabric Aug 17, 2014

  • I like this. I don't love it. Even with pretty extensive use I still find it difficult to adjust. Good for times you know you are going to need to nurse in public. Jun 19, 2014

  • First carrier I ever owned, slight learning curve to get a tiny baby in safely but once you get it down, its a great product. Zipper pouch on the tail is wonderful. Feb 15, 2014

  • no matter how hard i tried i couldnt figure this thing out. May 13, 2013

    Wanted to love this so much. My kids hated it and it killed my shoulder. Mar 26, 2013

  • Q: I have heard that you can breastfeed your baby while using this wrap. Is that true and is it easy to do or uncomfortable for the mother?

    asked by Celeste S. - Mar 23, 2014

  • True! Easy to do once you get the hang of adjusting the wrap. I found the wrap to be super comfortable, even while nursing, but the heavier your baby gets the more weight on one shoulder which can be sore. Make sure to switch it up by wearing the wrap over one and then the other shoulder. Check youtube for videos showing various ways to wear the wrap. Hope this helps!

    Elizabeth C. - Mar 23, 2014

  • I nurse it in frequently. It may take a few tries to really get the hang of it but it's a wonderful carrier for nursing.

    Laney L. - Mar 23, 2014

  • Sorry you're asking the wrong person - I had this wrap and HATED it. No matter how many times i tried it I couldn't figure it out, and eventually returned it.

    Kristin H. - Mar 24, 2014

  • I really enjoy this wrap, but I've never been able to comfortably breastfeed while my baby is in it. I watched videos, and tried a number of times, and while he was able to eat, it was not a nice latch and made for a lot of pain later.

    Roslyn L. - Mar 24, 2014

  • Sorry, I meant so also say that many friends and fellow baby-wearers have managed to, so it could be that I need more practice!
