Soft”Skya” Lightweight Ring Sling Baby Carrier Featuring Linen Blend Fabric: Perfect for Newborns, Infants, and Toddlers; Perfect Shower Present for New Moms and Dads (Blue, L)

There is no baby shower gift that will be more useful for helping new parents bond with baby, sooth baby, feed baby, AND go places with baby!
Any one of our baby carriers can be used for a newborn, all the way through the toddler years — no need to size up your ring sling as your little one gets bigger. And slings adjust effortlessly to different caregivers.
So when we say woven wraps are for everybody, we mean exactly that — they fit like a glove for every BODY. How cool is that? But let’s get specific about sizing, and please note we offer XL and XXL for plus-size parents and other caregivers.
Ring slings are measured from the fabric’s gathered edge on the rings along the short rail. They are measured postwash in inches as follows: Medium = 75 inches // Large = 80 inches // Extra Large = 85 inches // XXL = 90 inches.
A good rule to follow is to buy your t-shirt size, though if you are large busted or have a large ribcage or carry a large toddler, you might choose to size up.
However, larger people can wear smaller ring slings and vice versa! The only difference will be the amount of fabric hanging down from the rings. Remember, they are only five inches different from each other, so don’t be wary of getting a shorter or longer size than you might think! You can measure a loop from one shoulder to opposite hip and back, and then subtract that number from the length of the sling to see how long the fabric will hang down with each of the sizes.
As for learning how to use these carriers, each comes with simple illustrations, we have video tutorials on the website, and BEST OF ALL, we have an online community that will help you every step of the way.
Thank you in advance for supporting a babywearer-owned company with your purchase and your recommendations! Thank you, too, for spreading the love of babywearing when you give the gift of a Skya ring sling.

• CREATE A LOVING AND PEACEFUL BOND with your baby. Ring sling baby carriers wrap your baby close to you, and research shows babywearing can lead to calmer, happier babies with more developed senses of trust and belonging, and reduced stress and colic. Skya can be worn as “kangaroo care” to promote bonding and temperature regulation skin-to-skin after birth and beyond.
• FEEL COOLER WITH ONLY ONE LAYER OF BREATHABLE FABRIC over you and your baby due to our innovative Helio Blend linen blend fabric. The Skya Ring Sling is great for summer and hot climates because it is lightweight and breathable (and packs down small in your diaper bag)! Your sling is soft from the start, and does not require “breaking in” to be snuggly soft for baby like crunchy 100% linen does.
• SUPPORTS BOTH FRONT AND HIP CARRIES and in both offers an optimal ergonomic and safe carry position for your child. It is easy to nurse / breastfeed / chestfeed / bottle feed your child in an upright position, which is great for babies with reflux. Supports your baby from 8 to 35 pounds and provides years of use – no need to switch carriers as your child grows. Hug your baby but be HANDS FREE!
