4, Luxury Ring Sling Baby Carrier

Our motto is inspired by paradise, made with love. I wear my children every day, and I create beautiful and comfortable slings so I can share my passion for babywearing with others. We use the same luxury materials as designer brand slings at a fraction of the price. You will love the look and feel of our custom fabric blend of bamboo and linen. We guarantee this will be the softest ring sling you have ever felt or your money back!

REASONS FOR BABYWEARING WITH A RING SLING
• Helps create a bond of trust & belonging
• Easily adjustable to achieve just the right support
• Comfortable for parents carrying bigger babies too
• The warmth from your body will help baby drift to sleep
• The soft bamboo & breathable linen material is airy & comfortable
• While your baby sleeps soundly, you can continue to get things done
• Long and luxurious tail fabric means the ring sling will fit everyone, from petite to plus size
DESIGNED TO AVOID NECK & BACK STRAINS

The Pura Vida ring sling baby carrier is ergonomically designed to also keep you comfortable. The wide supportive material distributes weight evenly across the shoulder and torso to avoid neck strains and back discomfort, making it the ideal choice for walks around the supermarket or outside in nature.
• CREATES A NOURISHING HEARTFELT BOND: Carrying your baby close to your chest will feel like being wrapped in a loving embrace, which helps your little love gain a sense of trust & belonging. It is the most natural, womb-like position & creates an intimate bond between you both. Even a colicky baby will be soothed quickly to sleep as you carry him.
• ECO-FRIENDLY, SUPER SOFT BAMBOO & LINEN… provide an ultra strong, lush woven fabric that is lightweight & silky smooth. You will love the combination of the warm beige fabric with our signature copper/rose gold rings! Please see all photos as fabric photographs differently depending on the light. Unlike pure linen this will not scratch your baby’s skin and doesn’t need to be ‘broken in’. Our custom fabric blend is soft right out of the box and slides easily through our un-welded aluminium rings.
• SAFEST CARRY POSITION FOR CORRECT HIP DEVELOPMENT: Many carriers interfere with healthy hip positioning as the baby is held incorrectly or facing outward & this can increase the risk of hip dysplasia. Pura Vida slings harness your baby naturally in the M position so that hips can develop properly while keeping you and your baby comfortable. The front carry position massages your baby’s belly, improving digestion & preventing reflux & colic

Check out our YouTube channel! Be wary of cheap imitation slings made in China that are not safe for you or your baby. We put safety and customer service first. Make the safe choice for your baby and you can count on our excellent customer service and video tutorials made by us to help you learn to use your sling.
