Little Hoppers Hammock Ring Sling review & giveaway!

Alright, I'm about 1 bazillion reviews and giveaways behind. I just had so much going on with my health lately and am on an emotional roller coaster ride. Now winter...yay! :( lol 

Anyway, back in August I co-hosted the Big Latch on and met one of the sweetest mom's ever, the owner of Little Hoppers on Etsy, Kelly Delaney. She was beyond generous and offered me one of her gorgeous hammock ring slings to review.  <3 

I love this ring sling & that's a shocker because when Layla was about 3 months old I ordered one from another etsy seller and just couldn't quite grasp the concept. It had an extra long tail which I thought I would love for nursing but since I'm more worried about smothering my baby with all the extra fabric, it more so just got in my way. 

By the way, most of these are just user error and it was more difficult with a smaller baby, for me anyway! 

So anyway, back to the sling! As soon as Kelly handed over the beautiful sling, she helped me get it on correctly and I fell in love! There wasn't an extra mile of fabric, the rings were strong and secure, there was plenty of butt room for my 20 month old, and it was so so comfy. Something unique about little hoppers slings, there's a pocket on the shoulder for keys, cellphone or money! :) 

Ring slings are great because they're so customizable. From fabric and print to length of the tail and any care giver can wear it because of the adjustablilty! 

"Littler Hoppers hammocks are made of 100% breathable cotton fabric for mommy and babies comfort. They are not too hot to use during the summer months, nor too thin to use when the weather is less than perfect.
The design not pleated for a comfier fit, which allows for more fabric to be fanned across the shoulder and back to displace the babies weight. Also there is a small pocket that is a great space for storing your key, wallet or cell phone."

 If a ring sling is in your future, check out Kelly at Little Hoppers! She also sells Taggy Blankets (Layla has this one & l.o.v.e.s. it) & baby leg warmers!
