FAQs

1. Why the Ring Sling? What makes it so great?

The Ring Sling is the easiest and quickest way to wear your baby. The fabric is short and manageable; as it never needs to touch the ground, it’s more hygienic and easier to keep clean. There's no wrapping or buckling involved, and after a little practice, putting on the sling can be done by yourself in a matter of seconds. To see it in action, visit our tutorials page.

2. Are Ring Slings safe?

Yes! Our greatest concern is the safety of you and your baby. WildBird slings are made from the highest quality aluminum rings and fabric available, and each is certified and tested to ensure the sling remains safe over time. However, like any baby carrier, it’s essential that slings are used correctly for safe babywearing. Please study and practice the recommended carrying techniques in our tutorial videos and in your instruction pamphlet.

3. How soon can I start to wear my baby in the sling?

Most newborns can be worn right away. If your baby has health challenges, or weighs less than 8lbs, you should discuss babywearing with your health care practitioner.

4. What’s the weight limit for wearing my baby in a Wildbird sling?

Meets ASTM F2907 standard for full term babies up to 35 lbs, however, WildBird recommends caregivers always consider their baby's overall size and readiness to ensure a safe and comfortable fit. Baby's head and airways should sit above top panel of the carrier. This carrier is intended for babies up to 35 lbs.

Linen is the strongest natural fiber. It’s hypoallergenic and temperature regulating, and it’s easy to care for – everything we’re looking for in a baby carrier for our little ones!

Our slings can be hand- or machine-washed in cool water and hung to dry. Avoid using detergent with optical brighteners. See our care page for more details.
