Review on Vlokup Baby Water Ring Sling: Lightweight Mesh Carrier For Summer Swimming And Beach Adventures by Elizabeth Reyes

and wanted a cool way to baby wear with the option of wading .

Here's my situation. I have a baby and summer is coming, and wanted a cool way to baby wear with the option of wading into a pool with baby. I was super skeptical of ring slings in general (they just didn't seem super secure) and I was a little leery about one of the cheaper made in China models, especially with some negative reviews about safety. But I decided to give it a go. It's totally great. First of all, the ring sling concept in general is much more secure than I thought. I practiced and now feel confident about using it, admittedly with one hand on baby because I'm nervous. This fabric is lightweight and folds up to be super small in a built in pouch. It holds to the rings securely-- i pulled HARD to test the safety/durability, and I didn't see any slippage. It also came with a very informative booklet about safe baby wearing (which matches everything I've read online by baby wearing experts.) This will definitely serve my purposes this summer and I'm thinking about ordering another that will live in either my car or diaper bag for those inconvenient moments when a screaming baby insists on being held when your hands are full. My other favorite carriers (baby ktan and beco Gemini) are significantly bigger and I don't always have the space in my diaper bag to justify buying a spare.Random side note: it also came with a free bib. The print was kind of weird, but it's soft and a good size, so I guess that's cool, too.

Pros
  • The mesh material of the ring sling is quick-drying, which means you don't have to worry about it getting damp or moldy after use.
Cons
  • The sling may be difficult to get a snug fit for smaller babies
