Most of you know by now that I babywear. Little man loves it, and still wants to be close to me even now that he is a big little man toddler, even though sometimes wants to do everything himself. I've previously talked about babywearing a little bit here, where I go into kind of a babywearing 101 for beginners.
In that post, I'm not shy about how I.LOVE.COMFY.JOEY ring slings! Here are a few pictures of me & little man hanging out with our sling:

My Comfy Joey ring sling is my absolute favorite, for a number of reasons. I initially wanted one for quick trips, because it takes me a while to get little man either in the Ergo, or at that time, into the Moby wrap. I needed something that was really easy to pop him in, go, and then pop him out when needed.
My 'Maui Sea Glass' colored linen ring sling has done just that. It is SO easy and quick. This is the perfect way to wear your baby, especially on those days when it is raining outside, snowing outside, or is just really bad weather. I will often get little man out of his car seat directly into the sling, and then have the long piece of fabric left hanging to cover his head with when it is raining. Then I can make a dash for the store or business I am entering. No need to stand out in the rain unloading a stroller, snapping him into the seatbelts of the stroller, or splashing the whole thing through the puddles slowly on the way in. I can even make it quicker by already putting the sling on before I get out of the car.
But do I only wear this for quick trips? Nope. I wear it all the time. To the grocery, to the park, to the zoo, pretty much anywhere we can go as a family or just little man and I, the sling comes with us. And actually, now that I am pregnant, it is what I wear little man in 99% of the time right now, because it is the only babywearing device I have that is still comfortable yet so, so easy. My wrap takes forever to put on, although I do love the rucksack carry, but in a quick pinch, it takes just too much time. The Ergo, which I so wanted to wear throughout pregnancy, hits me at the wrong spot and the waist band rides up around my not-terribly-huge-yet belly and lands in a place that is uncomfortable.
