A U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warning this month advised parents to be cautious when using slings — particularly brands that hold babies in a chin-to-chest, curved position — with infants younger than 4 months.

Like any baby product — cribs, strollers, car seats, playpens — slings come with inherent risks and require parents to be wary and use common sense.
