Nalakai Luxury Ring Sling Baby Carrier, Soft Linen Blend Baby Sling, Baby Wrap, Wear Your Little One Close to Your Heart, Longer Length

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 live in hot weather and baby can stay in it. It doesn’t feel heavy or hot. Fabric is great quality and compared to other baby carrier styles, this one doesn’t make my back or knees hurt. It is great for breastfeeding and baby sleeping. I also use it while eating so baby can still be on me. Baby is happy in it too. Easy to adjust and beautiful design.

This sling is great for beginners. The fabric is soft and smooth so it moves easily through the rings. The company offers a lot of how to videos on their website which I watched to help get the sling on and my baby comfortable. It’s so nice to have because it’s so much easier to use than a stretchy wrap so I use it around the house and when running errands and don’t want to bring the stroller. The only cons to this sling is that because the fabric is so smooth it does slip a little in the rings and loosen as you wear the baby. Additionally the style of carrier isn’t great for carrying for long periods of time or walking a lot as the weight isn’t distributed very well as compared to other styles of carriers. I do love this sling though and use it all the time and would definitely recommend to friends and family looking to baby wear.

Before purchasing this sling I researched it well, found great reviews and confirmed that Pura Vida complies with the CPSIA and ASTM standards. The fabric has been tested for strength and also for low flammability and the unwelded rings have been tested to be lead free and have been weight tested as well. Pura Vida has a Children’s Product Certificate showing their compliance that has been approved by the CPSC. Safety is very important to me and I was satisfied with Pura Vidas compliance with all standards. My baby and I love the slings comfort and support. The fabric is so soft and smooth without even wearing to break it in. The fabric is breathable and is perfect for hot days (may baby runs warm always sweating). The versatile fabric is also perfect for cold weather, by baby keeps warm with the fabric and my body temperature. I purchased this sling when my baby was 2 months old, she is now 4 months. Since purchasing the sling I used it just about everyday. This was the perfect solution for bonding using skin to skin contact in her early newborn stage and loved how silky the fabric would lay on her supple newborn skin. I would twist the tail end for that extra support on her newborn neck. Even now she falls straight to sleep when I'm baby wearing. I just fell in love with this sling. Everywhere I would go people would comment on how stylish and beautiful the sling was. I just had to rave about it to family and even complete strangers. I even made a new mommy friend while shopping she adored my sling and I gave her all the details even helped her search for it on Amazon. People thought that I worked for Pura Vida! I was like I wish!!!! I love this sling so much! I'm just a mommy that was so impressed with the quality and pricing of this sling. I love the business owners story/bio on the Pura Vida website. I even tend to share her story! If you love to support small family businesses here it is! Most importantly I'd like to share a story on a more personal level, a few weeks ago my car was vandalized.On 4/2/2018 I took my son to his music lesson in Chino California and my car was vandalized. My passenger side door window was shattered to pieces and my diaper bag and sons toddler bag was stolen. Inside my diaper bag was my beloved Pura Vida Ring Sling. My wallet was stolen as well because it was inside of my ring sling so I spent hours at the DMV getting a new license the following day and canceling all my credit cards and debit cards I wasn’t concerned about that because the Credit Card companies replace the cards and refund the money. The criminals charged over $2,300.00. Between my sons toddler bag and my diaper bag I lost about $1,000.00 in toddler and baby items as well as my personal items.This was the worst invasion of privacy of ever. I really couldn't afford to purchase a new ring sling and was hoping Pura Vida would be able to offer some type a coupon or discount to buy another sling.With the loss I had taken and having to replenish everything that was already in my diaper bag and toddler bag it was a big burden. Including having to buy a new drivers license and paying the deductible for my car insurance to fix my car window. I was really hurt and sad that my sling was stolen, My most prized possessions I loved so much. I sent Pura Vida an email sharing my story in hopes of a coupon. To my surprise the owner of Pura Vida Ring Sling, Anne Ferris emailed me back herself. She offered to send me a new sling free of charge in hopes to help a fellow mommy out and put a smile on my face. As I read her email it brough tears to my eyes,I could not believe it. My heart was warm and overjoyed! I can't thank Anne and Pura Vida enough for the love and support they showed me. Now I can continue to bond and be close to my baby. I'm definatly going to purchase any future Item from Pura Vida! I will contunue to share my story with others and want people to know how great this product is as well as how much Pura Vida cares about their customers. I hope this review helps people to decide to purchas ethis item and helps out Pura Vida as well because it is well desereved! Thank you for supporting this mommy in a very stressful and trying time.

You have to practice a couple of times and get use to it BUT after you’ve got it it’s easy as pull up your trousers! 🤣 we loving this and it’s so nice.

This is the first sling I've ever gotten on with. It's so easy to use and my baby is so safe, secure and comfy in there, it doesn't take her long to fall asleep. It works amazing for colic as well. Onces your ring slings in place you can pop it in your baby bag and just quickly put it on while out and about. My baby goes straight from her car seat into the sling when doing school runs or shopping.

It's beautiful, comfortable and easy to use once you know how. Suitable from newborn right through the toddler years (my 3 year old nephew had a go in it and I use it for my 1yo). There are handy YouTube tutorials and I received excellent customer service from the seller. They're very kind and helpful.

I had high hopes for this sling and thought it would be a good wear to wear my 11 month old but it simply doesn't not live up to standard. The material is slippy and not matt enough for a sling, this results in the material sliding up and over my babies bum, the rings are cheap and flimsy also and do not to what they are supposed to. It makes for a very unsafe and concerning baby wearing experience! I'm very disappointed with this and would never recommend it to anyone. 2 stars for the nice packaging and bag it comes in but the product itself is unsafe and absolutely useless.

Absolutely love this sling! I previously hired a different make of ring sling and I couldn't get on with it... I was about to give up on ring slings until someone recommended this one to me. So I took a risk and this sling is AMAZING ! it's so easy to put on. Baby feels super secure. He's so happy and content in it. I can breastfeed so easily in this sling too and neither of us get overheated. I even carried my almost 4 year old around in it with no issues. My husband really likes it as well. Loads of videos on their YouTube channel to help if you're not sure how to use a ring sling. So glad I purchased!!
