baby sling

DanaLynn

Hi ladies! It has been a while.

I'm trying to pick a color for a baby ring sling and need help. http://www.sakurabloom.com/pure-collection/ I won a pure linen one in a contest.

I wear lots of grey, purple, indigo, plum and green. So, should i get a color i tend to wear or go with something like the wheat (mustard yellow) that would be a bold contrast against my typical fall/winter wardrobe.

My husband will wear this too, so I'm really looking at canyon, wheat, twilight or driftwood. I already have a black carrier and a green one.

Congrats on the contest. Might I suggest a colour that wouldn't need washing after each wear? Twilight or driftwood perhaps

Thanks, actually my amazing husband won it for us! He's always been the lucky one.

My guy is 8 months so we can normally go a week or so before we need to wash a wrap. I'm not too worried about the washing, Especially since it wont be my only one.

I love the wheat and I'd definitely consider that one, especially with all the wardrobe colors you listed. How old is your kiddo? That will influence whether to get darker or lighter. With burp up, I'd actually stay away from darker colors because spit up has a tendency to dry light and show more on darker colors. With an older kiddo, the darker will conceal more food stains.

Totally agree about the spit up. My black and dark brown ones both show the spit up the worst.

Oh, lucky you! I've always wanted to try a Sakura Bloom but we don't use ring slings enough to justify the cost.

Plum and Canyon are my favourite of the colors, followed by Twilight (my sole concern with that one is it's quite denim-y and might be a bit much if worn with jeans), but if your baby spits up, get the Wheat. It's a lovely color and it would hide the spit up really well! Driftwood would be my next choice. Our most-used carrier is an all-black Beco Gemini and while I completely adore it, I have to wipe it down just about every day because my baby is an epic spitter-upper. My only concern is whether Wheat would go with the green in your wardrobe.

Since you're sharing with hubby, I'd go for twilight or driftwood.
