My name is Janet and I’ve been actively babywearing for a little over 2 years. I have two children – Sophie is 2 years old and Leo is 1 years old. I love to wear all types of carriers including Soft Structured Carriers, Rings Slings, Wraps, and Mai Tai’s. I’ve owned several different ring slings in my babywearing days. I’ve tried a lot of different brands and fabrics. I’ve always had a “take them or leave them” kind of attitude towards ring slings in general…until I tried Sakura Bloom’s Theory Ring Sling.
Some of the babywearing lingo like “it’s love” and “perma-stash” come to mind when I think of my theory ring sling. I absolutely adore it and I couldn’t imagine my life without it!
First of all, it feels and wears like a cozy blanket! It’s thick, soft, and oh so cozy! I don’t think I’ve ever worn a ring sling so “cushy”. It’s also incredibly supportive! I’m able to wear both my children in it with ease. It also stays put which I really love. Other slings I’ve used before started to sag after awhile but not the theory! It’s a champ! Despite being a thicker and heavier fabric, it’s quite breathable! I was able to wear it during 90 degree weather in comfort. But at the same time it’s the perfect carrier for the fall and winter temps.
Even though I personally love this carrier and feel it’s the perfect fit for me, I don’t think it’s for everyone. I wouldn’t recommend this carrier for brand new babywearers or those new to ring slings. It can be rather difficult to adjust and it might become frustrating for someone who isn’t a seasoned ring sling wearer.
Overall, I am so happy with the Theory Ring Sling from Sakura Bloom. I can’t wait to continue to make memories with my children while wearing it!
Editor’s note: since Janet received her Theory to review, Sakura Bloom has updated the Theory to make it even softer, floppier and easier to use!
