Nalakai Luxury Ring Sling Baby Carrier - Extra Soft Bamboo & Linen Fabric, Full Support and Comfort for Newborns, Infants & Toddlers - Best - Nursing Cover (Pink Sunset)

I read most of the Amazon reviews for Pura Vida slings before purchasing, so I had some idea of the quality craftsmanship that goes into these slings, as well as the ethics and communication practiced by the company. I was pleasantly surprised when my expectations were met and even exceeded.I will start by reviewing the fabric used by Pura Vida, I purchased the Pink Sunset sling and came back a few days later for the Seashell, they are that addictively soft! I've owned a few ring slings over the last 16 years, but none of them came close to the comfort and structure offered by Pura Vida. Anne even made sure there is a seam along the shoulder to help with getting the perfect fit (don't pay attention to how it slipped a bit in my 1st picture, we had just used the restroom--yes, squatting & wearing a ring sling is very do-able--and my baby was squirmy, I hadn't yet readjusted), the fabric glides smoothly through the (very pretty rose gold) rings, also the fabric is soft yet structured enough that it won't start to bag-out for I-don't-know-how-long, as I've worn mine for over an hour of vigorous walking with no slippage or drooping. We didn't break a sweat during our day out and about at the zoo, and my baby enjoys her slings so much that I've been using them to hold her while I cook dinner (even when extra hands are available), she literally makes happy sounds when I pull out Sunset Pink. The material is thick but not heavy, smooth but not slippery. I might update my review once I've worn them during the scorching summer months, so far so good!As far as structure goes, I already mentioned the shoulder seam, the pocket comes in handy for carrying a phone (I have an older iphone with a bulky case & it fit fine), the tail of the sling is long enough for winding up into the top rail that goes behind baby's head, for extra support. My daughter likes to lean her head back and look up at the trees as we walk, I feel that the sling holds her securely while she's doing that. There is plenty of material for making a deep seat for my baby, she's about 20lbs.Color, my favorite part. These colors are gorgeous! I can see how easy it would be to end up with 4 or 5 Pura Vida slings. The two pink colorways that I purchased are completely different shades, and the vibe of each one is also very different. My third photo shows a comparison of these colors (indoors, daylight). I believe that the tail on Sunset is longer than on Seashell, but they are equally functional and beautiful.If you read through the reviews (here and on Instagram) you will see how Pura Vida sling wearers are devoted to this brand, not only because of the superior product, but because of the care and interaction provided by Anne and her company. Like another reviewer, I was replacing a stolen sling (of a different brand), and came upon Pura Vida, maybe that theft was a blessing in disguise...I had no idea what I was missing as far as comfort and style. I do own two other types of carriers (Babylonia and Sakura Bloom), but Pura Vida will be the only linen ring slings that I buy. I love that they add a bit of bamboo to the mix for some extra coziness, for this price I don't think you can find anything remotely comparable.Thank you , Anne and family, for providing such a high quality, and lovely, product & experience.

I absolutely love this! I have a baby that never wants to be put down. This allows me to keep her happy and I can actually get things done! Excellent color and quality fabric! Highly recommend! I suggest going to their YouTube page to watch a couple videos on how to adjust it properly the first time, and then you can easily take it on and off with little adjustment. It’s so easy! I want it in all the colors!

The only carrier my baby would let me put her in. Love the color, little bit of a learning curve I’m used to structured carriers. Easy to keep in the diaper bag.

Super soft. Came with a nice bag for when you’re not using it. Beautiful colors! So happy with this purchase and my newborn is too

I got this as a backup to my linen ring sling. While it's a little shorter and wider than my other one, it is so soft and the fabric slides along the rings easily for tightening. I've been wearing a ring sling for 4+ years now and this one is great quality and a great price!
