Thinking of buying a ring sling - does it matter if the ring is aluminum or plastic?

It's the combination of the fabric and the ring that determines how easy it is to adjust actually. I have a plastic ring RS that is easy to adjust as the fabric is thin. On the other hand, I have used a big metal ring RS that wasn't easy to adjust as the fabric was very thick. Some thin fabrics won't work well with a large metal ring as it would be too slippery and not offer enough grip. Metal rings can come in plenty of colours. Both nylon and metal rings can be seamless and weight tested.

As long as the product has been stress-tested by the company and there are no noticeable defects on the ring sling, feel free to use it. Nylon rings are made of fully moulded resin and have no weak stress points which can cause them to break. Aluminum rings are also equally durable and strong. The difference is in the weight. Do cover the rings with a sock before washing your ring sling to protect it. http://www.babyslingsandcarriers.com/faqs_babyslings#FAQ005

Some local online retailers who sell quality ring slings: - http://www.jarsoffluff.com/collections/ring-slings - http://smoochsmoochbaby.com/collections/ring-sling - http://www.fluffmail.com.sg/collections/ring-sling - http://www.careringsling.com/collections/carering-sling-textile - http://13thirteen.com.sg/shop/index.php?id_category=31&controller=category - http://www.warabeehs.com/#!sling/c1ddf

Whichever the material, please ensure that it has gone through stringent testing and comes from a reliable source. There is not much difference between a nylon and aluminium ring other than the appearance. Nylon rings also tend to have a larger variety of colours than their aluminum counterparts.

Seamless aluminum ring is safer than plastic/wood. https://babywearerscircle.wordpress.com/category/babywearing-safety/page/2/ Buy from trusted brand and source to make sure the rings are safe to support baby's weight.

Aluminium rings also make it easier for you to adjust as compared to the plastic ones as not only are they smoother, but also bigger.
