    Unpadded Ring Sling Patterns:

    (Adjustable. No padding means both a very small and very large person can wear the same sling, as there's no padding to get stuck in the rings. A little longer learning curve than with a pouch. Long fabric tail.)

    Padded Ring Sling Patterns:

    (Adjustable. Padding is good for eliminating red marks on toddler's legs. Padding can make it bulky, though. Long fabric tail.)

  • A wonderful source for sling rings:

    Sling rings This is a wonderful site owned by a WAHM (Work at Home Mom) who created it when she couldn't find a source for safe sling rings. *This is not a reselling site; she and her husband have chemical engineering degrees and actually make their own rings. You can't find these quality rings at a better price. Gorgeous and safe.*  She has both nylon and metal rings in several colors.
