Frequently Asked Questions
A ring sling is one of the simplest ways to babywear. It’s a long piece of woven fabric with two rings sewn in at one end—thread the fabric through the rings, pop your baby in, tighten, and you’re good to go. Our ring slings are designed to adjust quickly, fit comfortably, and look beautiful. Whether you’re wearing a sleepy newborn or a toddler who still wants snuggles, a ring sling keeps them close while keeping your hands free.
Yes, absolutely! Our ring slings are safety tested and can be used from 7 pounds and up. That means you can start babywearing right from those squishy newborn days. Ring slings keep your baby snug against your chest in a safe, upright position, and we’re obsessed with helping you get the perfect fit. That’s why we offer free one-on-one fit checks with our babywearing educators, so you can feel confident from day one.
Here’s the deal: a lot of baby carriers are mass-produced and look the same. Ours aren’t. Every hope&plum sling is sewn locally in Minnesota by a women-owned and operated manufacturer that pays livable wages. We use natural, breathable fibers like hemp and linen blends (no sweaty polyester here 🙅♀️), and we work with independent artists to design every print. That means our carriers are as unique as you are, you won’t find them under any other label.
1000% yes. Babywearing is for everyBODY, and our ring slings come in multiple lengths to fit parents of all shapes and sizes. We’re one of the only baby carrier brands that truly centers size inclusivity, it’s part of why we started hope&plum in the first place. No matter your body type, we’ve got a sling that works for you.
Our ring slings are designed to support babies and toddlers from 7–35 pounds. That means you’ll get tons of use out of it—snuggling a newborn on your chest, carrying a baby who wants to see the world, or giving a tired toddler a quick hip ride. It’s one of the most versatile carriers you can own, and because it folds up small, you’ll want to keep it in your diaper bag forever.
Yes, just like any other baby carrier, as long as they’re used correctly, ring slings are a completely safe way to carry your baby. At hope&plum, all of our carriers are tested to meet rigorous safety standards, and our educator team is here to help you get the perfect fit. We follow the T.I.C.K.S. guidelines (that’s Tight, In view, Close enough to kiss, Keep chin off chest, and Supported back) to make sure babywearing is both safe and comfy for you and your little one.
Unlike some bulky baby carriers, a properly fitted ring sling holds your baby in an ergonomic “M” position (knees higher than bum, spine naturally curved), which is recommended for healthy hip development. And because we design our carriers to be breathable, adjustable, and supportive, you don’t have to compromise between safety, comfort, or style. Basically: snuggles, but make them safe and cute.
They can have a learning curve, but once you learn, it's second nature! We’ll send you step-by-step instructions, plus you’ll get access to free tutorials and fit checks with our educator team. And here’s the thing: once you nail your first carry, you’ll be hooked. It’s fast, it’s comfy, and it looks way better than lugging around a car seat everywhere.
