Whats the difference between the ring slings (US store)?
The Maya Wrap has a lightly padded sling shoulder, while the TaylorMade Slings are unpadded. Padding is nice because it adds a little extra cushioning for your shoulder. The only difference between the sizes is the length of the tail, after the rings. This is an advantage if two very differently sized people will be sharing the same sling. The open tail can also be used as a privacy cover if you are nursing or the baby is sleeping, as a sun shield for the baby, or as an extra layer for warmth. It can also be tucked up under the sling, out of the way. Lack of padding means that the sling will be less bulky if you want to carry it in your baby bag, and it will be cooler in warm weather. A well adjusted unpadded sling is every bit as comfortable as a padded sling, but it is a bit trickier to get the sling adjusted perfectly.
