....if you do, you may want to read the latest warning for parents who use slings. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said it has investigated at least 13 deaths associated with sling-style infant carriers over the last 20 years, including three deaths last year. FYI..

I heard a bit about this on Thursday. It's dissapointing. I really wanted to use a convertable car seat and an infant sling this time around vs an infant carrier. I suppose maybe I'll go with a Baby Bjorn or something. I have a Moby Wrap but hate it...

I love my ERGO baby sling and so do my children. I still put them in it on hikes and it really saves my back.

I used a sling with all 4 of my kids and LOVED it! I hated the front carriers because I felt like they'd fall out if I bent over. Plus they are so versatile and like Rebekah said, even as they get a little older the can sit in them on your hip.

I tried the sling with my second and it didn't work out as well for us as the good front carrier we had with our first.

Sounds like it's not a warning for all slings but caution in the type of sling compared to the baby size. Did I read that wrong?
