We are pleased that you have decided to purchase a OPPEDIZ Ring Sling,
‘and we are absolutely sure that it will be very helpful and enjoyable.
The OPPEDIZ Ring Slings are woven in the same broken twill and Jacquard weaves
as our baby slings. This means that the sling adapts to fit both the baby’s and the
carrier’s body optimally. It is very easy to put on, and can sometimes be pre-tied.
The Ring Sling is very light, which means that it takes up very little space and is
ideal during travelling.
When using a Ring Sling, the baby’s weight is only resting on one of the carrier’s
shoulders. For this reason, the Ring Sling is mostly suitable only for short carrying
times, especially if your child has become heavier.
You can use the OPPEDIZ Ring Sling from birth until your child is old enough
not to be carried anymore. It is, however, not as multifunctional as a long
or a maxi baby sling because of its possible carrying methods.
Have fun when carrying – and being carried!

Hip-carry
As soon as your baby can be
carried on your hip, you can
try this variant. Whether
shopping or short distances
between your car and your
apartment. Our Ring Sling
can be used almost every-
where quickly and without
problems. No long cloth ends
on the floor or stowed –
these are only some of the
advantages of our Ring Sling.

folding, it adjusts individually
to each body.
