Safety and Slings

There have been many reports in the news lately regarding slings and safety; including a recall of the Infantino SlingRider. I believe the message and intent are right on. As a mother myself I believe the safety of our children is of the utmost importance.

When wearing a sling it is necessary to be mindful of your baby's health, comfort and safety at all times. I strongly encourage any caregiver or parent who uses a sling to be informed about sling safety.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has detailed information on their website with guidelines and simple illustrations.
