"Wrap-N-Wear"
Zolowear
When it comes to wearing your baby, it can’t get any simpler than a sling. The Zolowear adjustable ring sling design is simple, strong, and adjusts to six different carrying positions from birth to around three years.
An added bonus is the tail that can be used for covering baby on sunny days or if you desire, a discreet breastfeeding session.
Since I already had a water sling (see below), I could narrow my choices between a solid cotton sling or a more sophisticated silk sling. In the end, practicality won (I live in jeans and work from home, after all) so I went with the organic cotton choice.
This is a great buy for the price, but keep in mind that the included instructional DVD is there for a reason: You actually need to watch it to learn the exact and proper positioning techniques for properly wearing the sling. Placing the ring too high or too low results in serious back and shoulder pain. But when worn correctly, the sling (which includes a zipper pocket in the tail for a diaper or keys) is a breeze to carry baby in.
Pros: Extra fabric tail covers baby when desired, easy on and off styling, adjustable for multiple users, pocket for diaper or keys, instructional DVD included.
Cons: One-shoulder styling can result in back or shoulder pain if worn incorrectly.
