A great ring sling! November 25, 2008
Christine M. Deacon
My 8-month-old son and I love this sling. There is a slight learning curve on threading the ring, but once you get it, it's so quick and easy to put on. My son wants to be held often, and this is a great solution so I can still have both hands free to do chores, shop at a store, etc. while he is secure on my hip. I own several baby carriers, and this is probably his favorite. I love the lightly padded shoulder, it is more comfortable than the unpadded slings I have. Sometimes I prefer to grab a back carrier (e.g. a soft-structured carrier or mei tai) because then it's easier for me to bend down, as with a sling you still may use one hand to hold the baby in place sometimes. But for hip carrying, this is top notch.
A GREAT work-horse sling! October 19, 2008
Kristen Stewart (Under the Mountain)
When people think of slings, they think of ring slings, and this Maya Lightly Padded should win the prize for best workhorse sling. It is lightweight, but sturdy, with a padded shoulder that works for everyone! It doesn't need the gentle treatment of it's more expensive silk cousins, so it can handle spit-up, diaper explosions, etc. and be passed around the neighborhood. You can use it to hold newborns upright or laying down, and even nurse comfortably. As your child grows, they can be carried facing out to see the world or on your hip for a quick trip into the post office. A medium works for most people, so other caregivers can use it as well. I am a big fan of babywearing in general and this is the starter sling I recommend most highly.

This sling has been a lifesaver with my six week old daughter. She loves being so close to me and usually falls asleep within 15 minutes. It makes it much easier to go shopping and do housework with my hands free. It does take a few days to get the hang of it, but once you do it's second nature. I am purchasing another so I have one to wash and one to wear. I recommend this to all moms!!

I wished I got this when my daughter was younger, she is 8 months and I was worried she would outgrow it too soon, but she fits perfectly in it, and I think it will last a while! Very happy with price and shipping!

After having my son, I realized that he would be happy as long as I was holding him. I had gotten an Infantino pack as a shower gift, but my 9 lb. baby made my back hurt very quickly because of the thin straps. I love this baby carrier because it's hands free (so I can get things done!) and my son is very content in it. Sometimes he is all interested in what I'm doing and just takes everything in, and sometimes he just zones out and sleeps. Either way, though, he's happy and my arm is not killing me from holding him for long periods of time. I love that I don't have to take the stroller in to stores and stuff. I alternate this with a Moby Wrap so I'm not just carrying him one-shouldered all the time, but this sling is very convenient (and quicker to get on and off)--I think this'll be my new baby-shower gift! I read Dr. Sears "The Baby Book" and it talks a lot about how good baby-wearing is, and for my son and me, it's been absolutely right.
