Infantino has recalled 100,000 SlingRider slings sold at Babies R Us, Target, and other stores. The plastic clips that allow the fabric to slide can break, and several babies have been dropped. (This is why real sling manufacturers and not mainstream companies use sling rings, aluminum and nylon rings that have been weight tested and able to support up to 200 pounds.) I have also been concerned when I saw these slings in public that there was a danger of positional asphyxia.
The slings look like this and can be returned for a FULL refund, which can be used to purchase a safer and more comfortable sling!
thanks. I just passed this along to a friend who has one…
That is scary. I haven’t seen these before but I can tell from the picture that asphyxia could be a concern if the baby got turned into you.
