I LOVE my ring sling for my toddler for hip carrying. It's fast and easy, and my babies have loved it too. It allows them to look around, and it's a position they are very familiar with. It's really the only way I've used my sling - I didn't feel like it was safe for my itty bitties. But toddlers? Perfect.
The sling sounds nice! I have a boba wrap but it's so large. It would be nice to have something smaller but same idea. What kind/brand of sling do you have?
