Buckles, Rings, and Wraps – Oh My!

Yes, there are a lot of different types of wraps out there.  We’ve made it easy to compare all the varieties by listing them on our page dedicated staying current on different types of baby slings.  Here, we’ll point out those which we find to be the easiest to wear, or put on.

Criteria

The easiest types of baby slings, we feel, are those which are intuitive to put on and are obvious when put on wrong.

#1  The Pouch – It doesn’t get any easier than a single-piece of over the shoulder cloth that you set the baby in.  Pouches offer a couple of positions, including sitting up on the hip and lying in a cradle position.  There are a few top brands that we’d recommend, so that you can choose from your preferred types of fabrics and designs, including the Hotslings Pouch Sling, Slinglings, Peanut Shell, and Karma Baby Pouch.  See and learn more about different types of baby sling pouches here.

#2  Ring Slings – It’s a pouch sling with a ring, for adjusting the length and snugness of the fit.  Also allows for two baby wearing positions, sitting and cradle.
