This sling is awesome. Unlike many of the ring slings and whatnot, you don't have to worry about ajusting or wrapping it over and over. It just loops over your shoulder, and baby fits right into the pouch. It's soft, easy to wash, and folds up super small to fit into the diaper bag. I used mine from the day my son came home from the hospital, it was a great help in making sure I could use both hands for my older child.
