One Shoulder Carriers - Ring Slings and Pouches: Worn diagonally across the body like a sash. This makes them more suitable for wearing for shorter periods of time due to the fact the weight of your baby is not distributed as well as with a two-shoulder sling. Some of the slings do include waist support making them more supportive for longer periods.
Ring Slings
Ring Slings are a one shoulder sling based. The fabric is threaded through a set of rings (usually aluminium) forming a pouch in which a baby/child sits. The fabric that hangs down from the rings (called the 'tail') allows you to tighten and adjust the sling for a perfect fit. Suitable from birth to toddler and relatively quick to learn to use
A pouch is essentially a simple loop of fabric, usually with a curved seam sewn in which is folded in half lengthwise to make a pouch and worn over one shoulder. Suitable for use from birth they are an excellent simple 'pop and go' carrier.
