Pouch and ring sling suggestions

[twobears]

Looking for a carrier that is easy in and out, and good for a newborn. Have an ergo and ellaroo mei hip but would like a pouch or ring sling. I wear a size 16 or 18. What do you use?

Both are great slings for a newborn and quick in and outs. I would go with a ring sling that can be made for your specific body frame. Or maybe you could make one. Pouch slings need to fit your body well to be affective and successful.

I'd also go for a ring sling over a pouch for adjustability and overall versatility. I have a woori ring sling (that i rarely use) and my son was never able to stand a pouch sling.

I'd suggest a Sleeping Baby Productions ring sling, especially if this is your first ring sling, because she does a nice comfy shoulder AND her prices are great to "try" a sling, i.e. if you don't end up liking it, you haven't shelled our big bucks for a sling. (I got mine for $25, a really gorgeous original Maya "SBP redo" in a deep plum color.)

I like Comfy Joey's pouches a lot, and they are on a clearance sale, so sizes are really limited.

I used a Hotslings pouch with DD for almost 2 years. It was definitely very easy to get her in and out. I liked that I could fold up the pouch to fit into my handbag. It was very easy to put on and take off (as it doesn't have anything to adjust). I didn't use it a lot when DD was a newborn (only because I have really large boobs and I felt it was just easier to hold her in my arms).

I'm also a 16/18 and I love ring slings! I have a medium Maya Wrap Lightly Padded Ring Sling that I loved when ds was a newborn, but once he got over 22lbs or so I got a linen Ring Sling (Sleeping Baby Products, Sakura Bloom) and that is sooo comfy and supportive. I have a couple in the car that I use for quick trips/errands
