For this reason, the Ring Sling is mostly suitable only for short carrying times, especially if your child has become heavier.

It is, however, not as multifunctional as a long or a maxi baby sling because of its possible carrying methods.

Here you find the instruction for a quick belly-carry variant which is suitable for you to carry your baby very early.
