5.0 out of 5 stars All-around fabulous ring sling February 28, 2009

By Alexis Coxon VINE™ VOICE

I have numerous baby carriers, and each has its different uses, but the one I love for around the house and short trips is my Maya Wrap ring sling. (I have the Bright Stripes pattern, which is gorgeous!)

It's easy to stuff in a diaper bag. You can quickly pop your baby in and out of it. You can put it on under a coat and put your little one in it without having to take your entire coat off. (A HUGE bonus in wintertime!) The tail is great for providing privacy while nursing. The Guatemalan woven fabric is both lovely and supportive while remaining fairly breathable. It's also very washable, which is great. We've had diaper blowouts and spit-up on our sling, and it still looks like brand-new. (Those silk slings look sooo lovely, but I would be scared to death to put a real live baby in one! Don't the makers of those things know the sort of substances babies exude?)

Bonus: The Maya Wrap comes with a great DVD that I found extremely helpful.

That said, a ring sling isn't perfect for every circumstance. For very long trips or older children, I prefer a more structured carrier, like the Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining. Some moms who don't care for the one-shouldered support of the Maya Wrap may prefer the Moby Wrap Baby Carrier-12 Colors with 2 New Limited Colors!!. But while I love both those carriers, if I had to choose just one, I would pick a Maya Wrap, hands down!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Recipe for a Happy Baby February 16, 2008

By L. Loyd VINE™ VOICE

After having my son, I realized that he would be happy as long as I was holding him. I had gotten an Infantino pack as a shower gift, but my 9 lb. baby made my back hurt very quickly because of the thin straps. I love this baby carrier because it's hands free (so I can get things done!) and my son is very content in it. Sometimes he is all interested in what I'm doing and just takes everything in, and sometimes he just zones out and sleeps. Either way, though, he's happy and my arm is not killing me from holding him for long periods of time. I love that I don't have to take the stroller in to stores and stuff. I alternate this with a Moby Wrap so I'm not just carrying him one-shouldered all the time, but this sling is very convenient (and quicker to get on and off)--I think this'll be my new baby-shower gift! I read Dr. Sears "The Baby Book" and it talks a lot about how good baby-wearing is, and for my son and me, it's been absolutely right.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too difficult to use, and not comfortable for baby! November 21, 2009

By LittleTreasures

Color Name:Multi| Size Name:Medium|Amazon Verified Purchase

The seller of this product is wonderful, but the Maya Wrap is not for me or my little guy. I guess I am just not a fan of ring slings. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews and this is the first baby carrier I decided to buy. My baby boy (4 weeks old when I received the sling) always wants to be held so I was looking forward to being able to hold him all the time and nurse him hands free.

First, I am small framed and the sling kept sliding down so the ring was too low. Then when I tried one of the positions my baby either kept hitting his head on the ring or grabbing onto it. The fabric is not soft and comfortable, it is a bit rough, and the sling does not feel comfortable (for me) when on. But most importantly I don't like the fact that with all the positions except the nursing one, my baby would have to have his legs crunched up in the "frog" position - he hates his legs being confined like that!

I returned it and ended up buying the Moby Wrap which I love - fabric is soft and comfortable, and my baby can have his legs out in almost all the positions. It is also much easier to figure out how to use and to get him in and out of.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Live Without It! September 8, 2010

By Sandy in Florida

Color Name:Bright Stripe| Size Name:Small|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is the best $60 I have ever spent. I don't get the comments about it being uncomfortable to wear and hard to figure out (it's a long strip with rings on the end!). ?? This little number does such a good job of comfortably distributin baby's weight, and the baby LOVES it. She curls up inside as though she was still in the womb. I can even vacuum with her in there, and she sleeps right through it. This is also our method of last resort when she is having one of her rare crying jags and nothing else consoles her.

Sooo many advantages:
1. Such a nice way to be close to your baby
2. Gives both arms free to actually get something done
3. Very comfortable
4. Easy to bring with you because it doesn't take up much space
5. Baby loves it!
6. Great for shopping. Frees up both hands and keeps her content for hours.
7. Easy to tactfully breastfeed in public

Tip: If you are debating about color, go with one of the prints. Any little spit up or smudges don't show up like they would on a solid color.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT work-horse sling! October 18, 2008

By Kristen Stewart VINE™ VOICE

When people think of slings, they think of ring slings, and this Maya Lightly Padded should win the prize for best workhorse sling. It is lightweight, but sturdy, with a padded shoulder that works for everyone! It doesn't need the gentle treatment of it's more expensive silk cousins, so it can handle spit-up, diaper explosions, etc. and be passed around the neighborhood. You can use it to hold newborns upright or laying down, and even nurse comfortably. As your child grows, they can be carried facing out to see the world or on your hip for a quick trip into the post office. A medium works for most people, so other caregivers can use it as well. I am a big fan of babywearing in general and this is the starter sling I recommend most highly.
