The Bottom Line
TaylorMade slings are comfortable, convenient and available in enough sizes, fabrics and colors to please almost any parent. The unpadded rails let you cinch the sling up tight to snuggle a newborn to your chest or easily loosen the sling to accomodate a toddler on your hip, and the thin but sturdy fabric means you can count on this sling to carry your baby safely but can still stash your sling easily in a diaper bag for travel.

Guide Review - TaylorMade Unpadded Baby Ring Slings
Whether you're trying to get household chores done with baby in your arms, want a more compact alternative to strollers for errands, or just want to keep baby close as much as possible, the TaylorMade sling is a reliable and attractive addition to your stash of baby products.

TaylorMade slings are available in sizes small to extra large, and the company's site has a convenient size chart to help sling-buyers find the one that works best for their body. The slings are made of regular cotton, organic cotton, hemp blend, linen blend or silk, and each fabric is available in a range of colors. All of the slings are attractive, but the silk slings and the dyed cotton Batik slings are absolutely gorgeous, and would make a luxurious gift for a new mom or sling aficionado.

Like most ring slings, TaylorMade baby slings can be used for a variety of baby-carrying needs. Tiny infants will be comfortable in a front carry or cradle hold, while toddlers may like to sit on your hip, face forward or ride on your back. The sturdy fabric and rings make all of these options possible and comfortable with the TaylorMade sling.

For outdoorsy families, TaylorMade also offers unpadded ring slings in mesh fabric that can be used in the water, and the same slings in Solarveil fabric that adds extra sun protection and can be used on land or in water.
