Statement from TaylorMade Slings regarding CPSA article

Later today TaylorMade Slings will be issuing a co-sponsored statement in response to the article released yesterday regarding the CPSC government warning against "bag style" baby slings.

TaylorMade Slings are not a "bag style" sling nor have we ever engineered this style of carrier. We, along with other manufacturers of safe carriers, support those working for the past two years to create safety standards for all baby carriers.

Unfortunately, the term "sling" is being used to categorize all baby carriers. The type of carrier that they are referring to is a "bag style" where the baby is deep inside in the cradle hold, hanging low on the adult, and possibly scrunched up in an unsafe position.

We value your support and encouragement of this ancient and beneficial practice. Please contact us with any other questions, and be on the look out for our statement later today co-sponsored by 12 other safe baby sling and carrier companies.
