SAFETY AND DISCLAIMER

G Slings baby carriers are made with the utmost care and attention to safety. This being said, it is also important to consider safety when wearing your baby. Your hands will be your number one tool to help support your baby and should always be used while getting used to carrying your child and wearing your sling. You will probably find that you instinctively keep a free hand on the baby and will thereby be sensitive to his or her movements or shifting weight. You should be seated and focused when using your sling for the first time and when trying new positions or holds. It important to remain conscious of the fact that your child is attached to you at all times and adjust your activities accordingly. To keep your child safe there are some important things to remember when wearing your sling:

1. While wearing your sling you should be very careful when bending over. You should never bend at the waist, instead bend at the knees. Even when bending at your knees you should hold your child in the sling with one or both hands.

2. Doing housework while carrying your child is a one of the things that makes baby carrying so convenient. Not all jobs should be tackled while wearing your baby, however. For example, be careful wearing your child while in the kitchen.

3. While preparing or cooking food you should never wear your child. Boiling water, hot elements or the inside of the oven are all extremely dangerous at any time for your child to be around. When your child is old enough to start grabbing things, please be extra careful. Chopping vegetables or fruit is not a good idea, and don't try to do the dishes while wearing your child unless he or she is in an appropriate rear hold or carry.

4. It is safe to wear your child while eating, but there are some precautions you should use: Do not drink hot beverages when wearing your child and be careful when eating hot food that it does not fall or transfer to your child which could cause burns.

5. When working on craft projects you should never use sharp or hot objects glue guns, utility knives, etc.

6. Both infants and toddlers can be carried in baby carriers. Toddlers pose a different hazard because they can grab and reach. Dangerous or breakable objects on shelves or countertops should be an arms distance or more away from child's reach. Please be aware of what you’re nearby at all times, because older babies and toddlers will grab things within seconds without you even noticing.

7. As you move through your home and any building you must be aware of the distance between objects and your child. When going through doorways or around corners, be careful that your child's body does not stick out past your arm and strike the wall or door jam. Be especially careful of heavy doors.

8. Do not ride a bike or other moving vehicle while wearing your child. You should not walk on treadmill, stair climber, or any other moving equipment. Slings are NEVER to be used in place of a carseat.

9. Do not try to iron while wearing your baby in a front hold position.

It's your baby in there, and your responsibility to keep them safe. Make sure you use your sling carefully. Your child is not strapped in so you must make sure that they are positioned correctly and safely. Before each use check your sling to make sure that the seams are intact. Responsibility for the safety of the child is held by the person using the sling and not G Slings. By purchasing and/or using a G Sling, you are agreeing not to hold the seller liable in the event of any misuse or unforeseen accidents

For your comfort make sure that the area above the rings is on the ball of your shoulder and not riding your neck. For baby’s safety, spread the fabric from knee to knee and at least all the way up your baby’s upper back. Make sure baby’s bottom is lower than her knees and that the top rail hugs baby’s shoulders snuggly. This will make it impossible for your baby to arch back or slip out.
