Babywearing has received some extra publicity recently as a result of a CPSC statement and Infantino SlingRider Recall. Our belief is that, when properly positioned, a baby in a sling is as safe as a baby in arms. We share the CPSC's concern about the safety of bag-style slings, and strongly encourage parents and caregivers to be informed about sling safety.

Here are some excellent resources.
