If you're ever questioning which sling is right for you, I would wholeheartedly recommend the Sakura Bloom silk family. It's the best of both worlds without compromising anything ~ strong and durable enough for my two year old toddler, and gentle and secure for my 6 month old. Quick trip out? Throw it in your purse. No stroller, no fuss. Breastfeeding on the go? No problem. Easily adjustable to breast-height, and oh hey... the extra fabric tail makes a wonderful privacy / sun cover. You cannot beat the price for the versatility of something so beautiful that you'll likely have for years and years to come. Do not know what I would do without this simple, yet beautifully hand-crafted textile. Now if I could only decide on a color for my next one... (sigh!)
