Ring slings are suitable from birth and can be great for quick, easy ups and downs for babies and toddlers! Close Caboos are a great alternative to using a stretchy wrap in the early stages, as they are pre-formed and tighten with rings, so can be a bit less daunting for people who struggle a bit with tying wraps.
