BABY CARRIER HIRE: Girasol Ring Sling
Now you can rent the Girasol ring sling - the coolest, simplest baby carrier with beginner-friendly stripes
The ring sling by Girasol is known as a wrap conversion sling, which means that it is made from a woven wrap, with specially made weight-tested babywearing aluminium rings.
A ring sling with horizontal stripes is perfect for beginners. Soft, 100% cotton, and wonderfully supportive, the ring sling from Girasol has a low surface weight of 215-230g/m².
Girasol's range of ring slings has a gathered shoulder with Cloth and Carry's exclusive 5cm seam and coordinated aluminium rings. All Girasol ring slings are 70cm wide making them perfect for use with newborn babies right through to preschool aged children.
Due to the simple but amazing mechanism of the double rings, the ring sling can be put on quickly and safely with a little bit of practice. The ring sling can be used from birth (also suitable for premature babies, regardless of birth weight) and is often the perfect baby carrier for anyone wanting something light, breathable and easily adaptable. Even exhausted walking babies are happy to be carried in the ring sling.
Thanks to its small size, it fits in practically any handbag or backpack.
SIZE GUIDE
You can order your ring sling in two sizes: 1.70 m and 2.00 m (measured to the shorter side)
The size you need depends on your physique. Ring slings are worn like a sash: you place it over your head and one shoulder. If in doubt, we are happy to help!
Generally, the sizes fit like this:
Size 1 – 1.70 m (short edge)
Suitable for sizes XS to L (up to approximately ladies dress size 18)
Size 2 – 2.00 m (short edge)
Suitable for sizes XL +
