My honest review of all my baby carriers! (All of which I have bought myself and have been using for years). 

I tried the ring sling and I could never master it 🙈 I also felt like it didn’t give me the same back support as a structured carrier. But, I genuinely don’t know what I am doing when it comes to those so take my opinion with a grain of salt 😝 

The thing is, when it comes to a baby carrier I don’t want something I have to think about and try to coordinate. I want to slip it on and go! I love my Ergo for the support but I have a very difficult time strapping baby in on my own. I need someone to help me clip the back. I have tried different ways so I don’t need help with the clip but it ended up not fitting right or being more complicated. 

I still use my Ergo if we are doing longer stretches in it, such as a baseball game or a day at the Zoo. But I like this cloth/structured carrier for the everyday when baby is constantly rotating in and out of it. 

I can wear it all day and just slip him in and out. No clips, no fuss! Plus it’s crazy cute and WAY less than some of those other cute and fashionable baby carriers out there 😏

Now, when baby is a newborn I do a wrap which is different than a sling. I have had my same wrap since my first and have used it with each kid! 8 years old and 5 kids later and it still works great!!! It’s under $30 too! I love wraps for newborns because the material is soft, doesn’t clinch, is comfortable, and keeps baby snuggled so securely. 

Do you baby wear a lot? What are some tips you have when it comes to baby wearing? I may have 5 kids but I am no expert!! I would love to learn more!
