I’m positively giddy. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about a few yards of fabric before. If I had to commit to just one baby sling, I think it would be my new Zolowear Ring Sling in Solstice. I bought it from Along for the Ride and used my coupon code–and I could not be more pleased with my new purchase!

The pattern is chic, the stitching is impeccable, and the design is as comfortable as could be.

A good sling is an essential–it is a hip hands’ free way to carry (and nurse) baby, a changing pad in a pinch, a blanket, a sun shade, and a substitute high chair cover all rolled into one.

No more red marks on Baby Diva’s perfect chubby legs–Zolowear slings have either stretchable serged edges (which give) or two layers of fabric to keep baby happy. Now I can carry my slim Zolowear in my diaper bag and forget the bulky padded slings.

Mom is ecstatic, too! Although I have chronic back problems, I can wear my 22 pound baby in this sling for hours on end without any difficulty.

Plus, the pocket means I can bring along a credit card, diaper, wipes, keys, and the all important lipstick. What more does a mom really need?

Tip: When ordering your sling, make sure to check the size chart. Most women wear a small or medium in Zolowear (how nice for a recent mom to discover she is a small in something).

Oh, and don’t forget the fabulous look of these slings. At first I was concerned that too much of the white side would show on this sling, but the tail curls around and the effect is gorgeous. Now I just need a few more to coordinate with my outfits, like the Bliss Blue Paisley Zoloware, and the Peacock Solarveil Zolowear for wading in the water or walking on hot, sunny days.

Even while visiting a tony resort community, my Zolowear stopped jaded Manhattan Mamas in their tracks.
