Which ring sling?

Hello slingers, wading through the zillions of websites my quest for a ring sling is now down to a shortlist of:

Ellaroo lightly padded sling

Maya Wrap

Maya Padded Sling

Anyone have any feedback on any of these?

DD is 4 months and is carried most of the day. I need a ring sling to fill the gap between my coorie and my wrap sling. My shoulders have begun to suffer with all the carrying but the rest of my back is fine, so I'm particularly keen to find one that spreads the weight a bit and wondered if padding helps...

Thanks in advance for any thoughts

Ellaroo lightly padded or the Maya Wrap. Padding isn't really necessary imo and so a good compromise on size/weight if you only get a bit of padding.

Thanks KWT - so you don't think a bit of shoulder padding would help my shoulder strain? my fave colour is the unpadded but wonder if a bit of padding might ease that strain a bit... thanksfor all your advice

I have an Ellaroo lightly padded one in magic garden print. Highly recommended. It is padded but only a little, only so that the edges don't cut in anywhere, it doesn't affect the threading or tightening at all.

I find the rings are very large, and smooth, and I feel that I need to keep re-tightening it, but thats dead easy anyway.

And what I also like is that its not too long, so here isn;t acres of fabric hanging down. It looks really neat and tidy when on!
