Not sure about the negative comments, I tried a few other carriers first and love my WIldbird ring slings! Originally only watched the threading and newborn videos and found them to be enough to get me started. Now that my baby is a few months older I came back for a refresher and to learn some new holds. Thank you for your videos - they are super helpful and easy to understand if you start with the beginner ones!
These slings are my FAVORITE I’ve ever tried. I’ve tried plenty of baby wear gear and as a petite girl it’s hard to find baby wear gear that comfortably fits me. I also hate the headache of figuring out how to use them especially when it comes to the wrap type. I was happy to find this company and these ring slings. They make my life 100000x easier (especially with twins and having to grab a baby fast and wear them to settle then before the next wakes up.) Id have one in every color if I could. My babies LOVE being worn in this sling. I’m not sure about the negative comments or confusion on how to use this sling. Your video is very straight forward and easy to navigate this product with. I got it first try. Sounds like lots of “user error”. This design is very simple which I am very grateful for. Love it! Might treat myself to another - this is a great baby shower gift.
These videos (so far I've watched the threading one and this one) are hilariously incomprehensible. You should seriously consider showing them to a bunch of people unfamiliar with baby wearing before you publish them so you can see firsthand how confusing they are to beginners. The speaker keeps saying "pull this edge" and "that edge" without describing which edge?! And she throws out terms that we have no reason to know. (Someone who hasn't done this before doesn't know what a "midline" or a "rail" is.) Perhaps at least turn around so we can try to follow your motions while looking at the screen. And maybe show what the back of the sling is supposed to look like at some point. Or tell us how, after we take a "threaded" sling off, how to put it back on correctly to make sure the rings are positioned correctly. She just says, "put your arm through." Which arm? Through where? Is there some clue in which way this warning tag faces--surely that's not supposed to be outward. I've watched these a dozen times (the videos on your website inexplicably cannot be paused or rewound, so I have to keep starting them over in the middle) and it's just so frustrating how clueless the instructions being given are. I'm about ready to throw this WildBird out the window, but first I guess I'll see if some other babywearing company has posted instructions intended for someone who is actually new at this!
Apologies for the late response. We'll definitely make sure to use your feedback for our next series of tutorial videos. For now. You may want to have a look at our Ring Sling 101 video. It goes a bit more in depth. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qq8z2NtKBSk.html We also have a whole series of education videos on our instagram page. @wildbird You can always email us at education@wildbird.co for personal one on one help from our babywearing educator.
Just want to say that i tried threading it a few days ago & got it on the first try. I can now hold both my newborn comfortably in the sling & one of my toddlers at the same time. One happy mama💕
The video was very easy to follow. I've never used a ring sling and I feel very confident in trying it after watching this video. Maybe watch it again and actually pay attention. 🤷♀️
