Nalakai Ring Sling Baby Carrier, Soft Linen Baby Sling, Baby Wrap, Comfort, Style, and Giving Back – Carry Your Little One with Love

Care for their customers
Before purchasing this sling I researched it well, found great reviews and confirmed that Pura Vida complies with the CPSIA and ASTM standards. The fabric has been tested for strength and also for low flammability and the unwelded rings have been tested to be lead free and have been weight tested as well. Pura Vida has a Children’s Product Certificate showing their compliance that has been approved by the CPSC. Safety is very important to me and I was satisfied with Pura Vidas compliance with all standards. My baby and I love the slings comfort and support. The fabric is so soft and smooth without even wearing to break it in. The fabric is breathable and is perfect for hot days (may baby runs warm always sweating). The versatile fabric is also perfect for cold weather, by baby keeps warm with the fabric and my body temperature. I purchased this sling when my baby was 2 months old, she is now 4 months. Since purchasing the sling I used it just about everyday. This was the perfect solution for bonding using skin to skin contact in her early newborn stage and loved how silky the fabric would lay on her supple newborn skin. I would twist the tail end for that extra support on her newborn neck. Even now she falls straight to sleep when I’m baby wearing. I just fell in love with this sling. Everywhere I would go people would comment on how stylish and beautiful the sling was. I just had to rave about it to family and even complete strangers. I even made a new mommy friend while shopping she adored my sling and I gave her all the details even helped her search for it on Amazon. People thought that I worked for Pura Vida! I was like I wish!!!! I love this sling so much! I’m just a mommy that was so impressed with the quality and pricing of this sling. I love the business owners story/bio on the Pura Vida website. I even tend to share her story! If you love to support small family businesses here it is! Most importantly I’d like to share a story on a more personal level, a few weeks ago my car was vandalized.On 4/2/2018 I took my son to his music lesson in Chino California and my car was vandalized. My passenger side door window was shattered to pieces and my diaper bag and sons toddler bag was stolen. Inside my diaper bag was my beloved Pura Vida Ring Sling. My wallet was stolen as well because it was inside of my ring sling so I spent hours at the DMV getting a new license the following day and canceling all my credit cards and debit cards I wasn’t concerned about that because the Credit Card companies replace the cards and refund the money. The criminals charged over $2,300.00. Between my sons toddler bag and my diaper bag I lost about $1,000.00 in toddler and baby items as well as my personal items.This was the worst invasion of privacy of ever. I really couldn’t afford to purchase a new ring sling and was hoping Pura Vida would be able to offer some type a coupon or discount to buy another sling.With the loss I had taken and having to replenish everything that was already in my diaper bag and toddler bag it was a big burden. Including having to buy a new drivers license and paying the deductible for my car insurance to fix my car window. I was really hurt and sad that my sling was stolen, My most prized possessions I loved so much. I sent Pura Vida an email sharing my story in hopes of a coupon. To my surprise the owner of Pura Vida Ring Sling, Anne Ferris emailed me back herself. She offered to send me a new sling free of charge in hopes to help a fellow mommy out and put a smile on my face. As I read her email it brough tears to my eyes,I could not believe it. My heart was warm and overjoyed! I can’t thank Anne and Pura Vida enough for the love and support they showed me. Now I can continue to bond and be close to my baby. I’m definatly going to purchase any future Item from Pura Vida! I will contunue to share my story with others and want people to know how great this product is as well as how much Pura Vida cares about their customers. I hope this review helps people to decide to purchas ethis item and helps out Pura Vida as well because it is well desereved! Thank you for supporting this mommy in a very stressful and trying time.

Comfy, but a little loose
For my first go at a ring sling, this one is convenient and comfortable and my newborn loves it! The downside is that I have to tug on it every so often to keep her snug and tight to me. Apparently I’m not the only one with this issue, so it could be the softness of the material. It is luxuriously soft and lightweight, which is nice and has its own benefits, but if you’re looking for something more stiff and sturdy, probably look for a different material.

I loved this when my little one was a newborn it was all she would go in, I loved it as it was one the few slings you could leave ready and just slip it over both of us is she fell asleep. Also you can feed in it and still move about which was great for cluster feeding, however now she’s bigger (4 months) I find that our other carrier is more secure as I couldn’t get the hang of tucking the fabric enough and as she loved to try and straighten her legs in this and it’s not hugely safe but it’s lovely material and would still recommend because maybe as she gets older I will start using it again.

You have to practice a couple of times and get use to it BUT after you’ve got it it’s easy as pull up your trousers! 🤣 we loving this and it’s so nice.
