About Our Carriers
Great care has been taken to make sure that these carriers are sewn with quality and safety in mind. Pouches are sewn with a reinforced seam, known as a French seam, to shape the carrier. Ring sling fabrics are chosen with care as to style and strength, and each sling is carefully reinforced at the rings. The rings used are from SlingRings.com (nonwelded aluminum), a company that maintains rigid test guidelines to ensure safety and quality for these rings made specifically for baby wearing.
Babywearing is both a joy and a responsibility. Although Babywearing is simple, it will take practice and precautions, just like anything else. Don’t expect you or your baby to “sling like a pro” the very first time. Keep at it – it’s worth the effort!
Some precautions to take while wearing your baby:
- Always check the carrier first for signs of wear or any rips. Don’t use if damaged.
- Practice holds with a stuffed animal before trying them on your baby.
- Use common sense while wearing – i.e. do not bend from waist. Don’t use around the water, while cooking, showering, or other potentially hazardous activities.
- Always make sure your baby has sufficient airflow.
- Remove baby from sling before placing in bed.
- While making adjustments, always make sure the baby’s weight is supported.
- If a child is fighting against going into the sling, wait until he is calm and try again.
- If a child is fussing after being placed in the sling, talk to him, pat back, move around, just as you would normally do to soothe a child.
- Follow safety guidelines: you use at your own risk, accepting the responsibility for the safety of your child.
