Pouches are sometimes called "tube", "pocket" or "ringless" slings, these are generally formed by a wide piece of fabric sewn into a tubular shape. Simple, or fitted pouches do not have rings or other hardware. Adjustable pouches may adjust with zippers, buckles, clips, rings, drawstrings, velcro, and other methods. Most pouches have a curve sewn in to shape the cloth to the parent's body and hold the baby more securely than a simple straight tube. The wearer slips the pouch over the head and one shoulder, sash-style, creating a pocket or seat to hold the baby in.

Simple carrying aids are  designed to take some of the weight of the child but not completely support them so a hand or arm around them is required.

 

Hybrid carriers are the taking two or more elements from the different sections, close caboos are a stretchy cotton as a stretchy wrap but rather than tied they are adjusted with ring sling rings and permanently sewn in one carrying position, the DX version has some structured elements too it. A hybrid stretchy which combines stretchy wrap and woven wrap as it only stretches in one direction, and a Emeibaby which combines, wrap material, ring sling rings for adjustment all in a soft structured carrier.
