The folks that market these--yes, another niche cottage industry -- go to a lot of trouble and expense to be sure the rings met quality and testing standards. (Just as with SMC descender rings.) No wonder, juries being sympathetic to babies and likely not too easy on easy-going, HYOH, parents and mfgs.

When I ran across these a year ago, the sizes or weight ratings were far below those of interest here. Babies aren't that fat......... yet. But the expected multiple of safe to tested BS strength of 11-15 was there.
I've used sling rings for years on several hammocks. They work great, are light, and come in colors!

They ship fast too!
