Saying that baby slings are dangerous is ridiculous. The problem is with the users not educating their selves correctly on how to use them safely. They’re carrying a precious child, they need to just spend 10 minutes learning how to use them properly! Thank you for writing this article!! Saying that baby slings are dangerous is ridiculous.

Seriously, the word on the street for pregnant woman or new mothers is (you aren't suppose to wear slings now)....ok what a blanket statement. I get really heated that people aren't even considering using slings now that the recalled happened (I care about sling safety too and about the horrible events that happened with the recalled slings), but all the other brands are being lumped together with this manufacturer. Not all slings are created equal....just like with the Toyota recall, should be all stop driving our cars since one model was recalled..... no nonsensical. Just like any other product you are going to use with your new child, research it and you will find that simple pouch slings and wrap slings have not been recalled and if used correctly are fine and safe to use.

I was ofcourse concerned about slings when I saw the article, but it did make it clear that it was the bag style sling that was the one in question and the article did mention that Ring slings were amongst the safest to use. There are so many different slings on the market these days that it is often difficult to decide on which one to choose, with parents often choosing the most stylish looking one rather than taking into account the safety and comfort of the baby. Having used the Baby Sense Ring extensively with both my children, and having seen most of the other slings and carriers on the market in the UK I feel that the Baby Sense sling is one of the best available. It is 100% cotton so the baby can breath and it is soft against the babies skin. It has the rings which actually pull tighter the more weight you put into it, as opposed to the clips which become less safe the more weight you put in, plus the Baby Sense Sling is fully adjustable to whoever is using it. It is not set up to the parent who uses it most. Whoever uses the ring sling easily adjusts the strap to fit tight and snuggly against them. I am pleased that the article in the USA came out to highlight the safety issues around certain carriers. It will certainly make parents more careful about the type of carrier they choose to use.
