Is My Baby Carrier Safe? What All Parents Need To Know…
Recent recalls announced by The Consumer Product Safety Commission have prompted parents to take a closer look at the products they use for their babies. Your child may be at risk. Read on to find if your baby carrier is safe.
Infantino recalled over 1 million baby slings on March 24, 2010 after three infant deaths were reported. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends that parents do not use the Infantino “SlingRider” and “Wendy Bellissimo” baby slings for infants under 4 months of age due to the risk of suffocation.
CPSC further adds that sling-style baby carriers pose a risk of suffocation to premature babies, babies with low birth weight, and babies whose breathing is affected due to colds. 14 infant deaths have occurred in the last 20 years due to baby slings (all brands, not just Infantino). Some baby slings cause suffocation when the fabric presses against the baby’s nose and mouth. Others, like the Infantino Slingrider, place the baby in an unnatural “curved” position. This causes the baby’s head to press into his chest and restrict his breathing. A baby in this position will not be able to cry out for help. Infants under 4 months, premature babies, and those with low birth weight often do not have the strength to lift their heads or free themselves from the fabric of a baby sling. These babies can suffocate in a matter of minutes.
Infantino is offering a free replacement baby carrier, activity gym or shopping cart cover to parents who own a recalled SlingRider or Wendy Bellissimo baby sling. Call Infantino at 866-860-1361 to receive your free replacement product.
Experts recommend that parents purchase baby carriers that allow newborns to remain in an upright position. It is also important to keep the fabric of the baby carrier away from your baby’s face.
