This is a great day for babywearing. The Infantino SlingRider is being recalled. That seems strange, but its true. Babywearers want mothers to use slings SAFELY. The SlingRider was impossible to use safely, and they were in every big box store, the most accessible “sling” to the general public. For over three years, Infantino has been warned of the danger. They’ve finally caved, but not until a MILLION of these carriers were sold. You probably know someone with one. The wrap and tie carrier they are offering in exchange is much safer. It’s a copy of a mom-made design, and mass produced, and not “perfect”, but it’s safe. Pass the word on.

Seeing this earlier pretty much made my morning. And I was shocked (in a very good way) to see how good the replacement looked… I was thinking it would be an Infantino version of the Bjorn, not a mei tai!
my sling was recalled. :( Sending in the info for a replacement tomorrow. I’m looking more forward to the replacement, though! :)
