Help me find this sling?

Hey Ladies! I'm hoping sopmeone on here has seen this sling or can maybe point me in the right direction....

I ran into a Mom at the Library yesterday who had the coolest sling. I asked her what it was and she said it was a "maya sling". She said it was really comfortable and she loved not having to worry about ties and that it was really cool in the hot Arkansas summers.

It looked like a ring sling, but instead of the ring it had rows of zippers and buttons. She said that you adjusted it to your height using the zippers and buttons. I googled it and can't find anything like it. I'm beginning to wonder if it's an older model that's not made anymore. She had an infant in the sling but was with her son who was probably 3-4.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks so much!

I think she must be mistaken on the brand - the maya wrap linked above is a ring sling and a good sling to get.  Sounds like maybe it was some sort of adjustable pouch?  In any case, I would suggest a ring sling instead for the adjustability - buttons and zippers are going to be far more cumbersome and less adjustable than a nice simple ring sling.

Thanks Ladies!

I've got a fair amount of time to make a decision on what sling/wrap(s) I want to buy...guess it's back to researching Big Smile

Try looking for an adjustable Hotstling, it may have been a pouch rather than a ring sling. The adjustable Hotsling doesn't have zippers but it's the same concept.

I agree with the other mamas who recommended a ring sling though, they are much easier to adjust than adjustable pouches.
