What’s your favorite summer carrier?

[sidramalik100]

I currently have a Solly Baby wrap, a Hippie Joey, and an Ergobaby Embrace. He really likes the Solly wrap, but I’m looking for a carrier with more breathable fabric for summer. Baby is currently 3 months old and I’ll want to be able to use this until he’s 7-8 months old. I was thinking about picking up the hope & plum linen ring sling. Would love suggestions or opinions on the hope&plum ring sling. Thanks in advance

@sidramalik100 Ring slings are definitely cooler but not as supportive since all the weight is on one shoulder. Probably better for shorter carries rather than an all day wear

@sidramalik100 A woven wrap would be like the Solly in many ways but you can get a lightweight fabric and do single layer carries and it will be much cooler than the Solly. It will also be very supportive and will easily be useful well beyond 8 months.

Personally I never did figure out ring slings and found woven wraps much easier, but lots of people have the opposite experience, and a ring sling should also be relatively cool for summer if you decide you like it.
