Who loves slings, also loves this sling. Color does not matter. We have it in ecru (beige). Is more susceptible to dirt, but otherwise it does the job. In the center a label of Manduca is attached, so that it is easy to find. The upper edge is brown colored differently (at our cloth: brown) edged, so that always easy to see how the cloth is to bind. The instructions included ok, but not particularly detailed. The Wrap-Cross-Carry in which we carry our 2 months old daughter is not sufficiently explained so that we took a video on the Internet as a guide at hand. For slim people the cloth is much too long, but as it "all parents" is even working parents can carry their babies in it. We would buy it again at any time! Topp.
