How to choose a baby wrap: key features to consider
Size
The size indicates the length of the woven wrap and is chosen according to the caregiver’s body type and the carries you want to use. The ring sling comes in one size.
Composition
The fibres used affect softness, breathability, support and the feel of the fabric. Common compositions include cotton and linen-cotton blends.
Fabric weight
Expressed in g/m², fabric weight helps describe the thickness and support of the fabric. A medium weight is generally a versatile choice.
