Girasol Ring Sling: Northern Lights Twill

We know people love to get their baby carriers as soon as they’ve made a decision. Generally all orders are processed same-day for overnight delivery on weekdays if orders are received by about 3pm. We also deliver worldwide and the estimate is about 3 days.  Nikki has been known to run out in the rain to get a few orders out that arrive past that time, too.

PO boxes and rural addresses can take a little longer. Please refer to our shipping info for all of the information you need.

We love you too.. And we are able to ship worldwide.  Simply take it through the checkout as usual and we’ll do the rest! Please note you are responsible for any customs fees that your country may charge you (depending on the minimum amount in your country)

Yes, if it’s available for us to order in. It’s best to contact us to check. Some designs are discontinued for good and we’re no longer able to order them in, but we’ll be able to let you know if you ask. Just be sure to include the name of the ring sling you’re after in your email. You can also sign up for restock notifications, just make sure you’re not waiting on something that might not come back

No, you don’t. Ring slings take a bit of practice to get perfect, and generally that practice doesn’t take place in a store (particularly if there’s no-one near you who’s familiar with them)  Ring Slings are basically a one-size-fits-all option – you secure it to you each time and the only thing that changes size wise is the length of the tail (the bit that hangs down once it’s tightened)  The best thing to do is to purchase so you can get babywearing ASAP and then practice with a teddy when you get it home.  You’ll be a pro at ring slings in no time!

You sure can! The best carrying position is snuggled up against your chest with the fabric high enough to provide adequate neck support.  The ring sling will come with instructions, and you can always contact our Certified Baby Carrier Consultant if you’re unsure.

You sure can! Ring Slings are great for quick ups & downs for toddlers who change their mind as quickly as the weather.  Being a one-shouldered carry, as your child gets heavier you will likely start carrying for shorter and shorter periods.  If you’re wanting to carry for a long time, you might like to consider a two-shouldered option instead.  A lot of people have ring slings to compliment other carriers and find them perfect to shove in the bottom of your handbag for those ‘just in case’ moments, or the time you forget your carrier.

100% woven cotton hands down for a beginner.  It’s so easy to use and to look after, and very supportive.  Please note all of our ring slings are made from woven wraps unless stated otherwise (hugabub is an exception), which makes them incredibly supportive as they’ve been specially woven to hold large amounts of weight.  If you just want one ring sling to see you through your babywearing years, 100% cotton is your best bet.

Linen is our second choice.  Generally they are a combination different fabrics e.g. 60% cotton, 40% linen.  Linen is really supportive for toddlers and a slightly cooler fabric.  The fabric can feel a little rough at first but generally softens up quite quickly with use.

Nope, it’ll be soft enough to use straight away.  You will not need to run over it with a steamroller or any other extremes that people may like to suggest to you.  Seriously though, they are very soft and great to use straight away but will soften up even more with use.
