The Amazonas Ring Sling smells neutral, not chemically, can easily create, the instructions are easy to understand and my little ones like to sit in it. However, my cloth has numerous flaws, knots and out-standing threads which cast doubt on the strong quality yet. It looks like a cat would let off steam on it ... On the other hand I have a DIDYMOS cloth, which is explicitly declared as 2nd choice, and that was reduced accordingly, where you have to really look for a tiny flaw to find him! Unfortunately I only noticed the mistake after my dwarf has a load of milk spilled onto the cloth, otherwise I would have sent it back and had 20 more similar in a good cloth of Didymus invested!
