Wallababy is dedicated to creating a product that is above all safe for parents to use with their infants and young children. As with any baby/child product, education is essential. Should you have any questions about the safety of a Wallababy product or if you require further education in using one of our products, please contact us. Please see the images below.

Please refer to the photo illustration provided by the Consumer Product Safety Commission to see how your infant should be properly placed in a sling.

Wallababy does not manufacture a "bag style" sling that is similar to a messanger bag. This type of carrier, especially with elasticized edges impedes view of your baby at all times and has a very deep pouch in which the baby can be out of view from his/her caregiver.

Please make sure that:

The baby is close enough to kiss

The baby should never have his/her chin resting on his/her chest

The baby's head should always be above the rest of his/her body

The baby's knees should always be higher than his/her butt

The baby's face should NEVER be covered by fabric

The baby's head should be supported
