Recently a popular mode of carrying infants is with a sling. Over 1 million baby slings have been sold by Infantino and there had been 3 cases of infant deaths associated with them. The government agency Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that parents stop using the sling for infants under 4 months of age. It is believed that the infants can be accidentally suffocated while in the baby sling. The baby sling recalls involve the models “Slingrider” and “Wendy Bellisimo” . The Infantino company is offering a replacement of the sling for a different type of carrier or toy product that they sell. Please contact Infantino for more information https://www.infantino.com/
An alternative carrier that does not have the risk of suffocation would be the forward or rear facing carriers such as Kelty Carrier
