Sarong Baby Carriers: Safety Tests & Guidelines

    Safety standards for soft baby carriers have yet to be formulated by authorities.  To ensure safety for your child however,
    we have conducted loading tests on the the baby carrier to ensure that the baby carrier will hold up well when used.   Do
    nevertheless exercise common sense and good judgement when using the baby carrier with your baby. 

  •     Both Rings & Carrier System sent for Maximum Load tests by PSB
  •     Tested to be a Non-Slip System (20kg weight over a 24-hour duration)

    Please also read some Safety Guidelines below:

  • The suggested ages of your baby is only a guide.  Do take note of your child's own physical growth and developmental stage.
  • Please be aware that our baby carrier does not contain a safety belt or harness. The baby carrier is also not a safety device on its own.  You are responsible for the safety of your child while he or she is in the carrier.
  • Always inspect the carrier carefully before each use. Make sure the cloth is in good shape, does not have holes, and that the stitching around the rings is secure. With proper care, our slings should last for years and through a few children.  If there is any frays or loose stitching , please return the baby carrier to us.  We will repair it at no extra cost.
  • Have an arm around your baby, when you feel it is needed for security.  Always support your baby while adjusting for fit.  Keep supporting your baby until the baby carrier is properly wrapped and adjusted. 
  • In any of the positions, the baby’s body should be encased by the cloth, but his face should be not covered by carrier cloth, blankets, or other additional clothing while in the baby carrier. (see photos below).

  • While breastfeeding, do also be aware that baby's breastfeeding may be shaded from public eye, but his face does not need to be closely covered by any cloth or blanket.  There should be airspace around the baby. (see below for some photos of babies breastfeeding in the baby carrier )

Baby is in the Sling
but there is airspace
above & around  the baby.  Cloth does not fully cover baby's face.


  • For the upright positions, always make sure the baby is securely inside, and that the cloth does not slip up the baby's legs or back.  If you have not properly wrapped the the cloth around the baby's bottom and knees, please do continue to hold onto your baby.

  • If your baby is very wriggly, please do keep your arms on him to restrain him and hold him.
  • The baby carrier is not meant to be a car seat replacement.  Never drive or carry baby in the baby carrier while in a moving vehicle. Also do not use it while cycling or rollerblading, or the like.
  • Suport your baby with your arms when leaning or bending over.
  • If you are wearing your child while cooking, shopping, sweeping the floor or any other everyday activities, please pay attention to things within your child's reach, such as flames, hot objects, sharp objects and other dangerous items. Our cloth is not flame-retardant. Be aware of what is within your baby’s reach.  (see photos below)
  • Be cautious when consuming hot food and drinks when baby is in the sling. (see photos below)

  • Do not tie any accessories or toys to the tail of the baby carrier.  Having such at this portion of the sling makes it dangerous as there is the possiblity of the toys hitting at your baby when you adjust the carrier for the right size and when you unthinkingly use the tail for shielding during breastfeeding or from weather conditions.

    Guidelines outlined above are non-exhaustive.  You are reminded once again to use common sense and judgement regarding your
    baby's safety while using the baby carrier.  Moms in Mind will not be responsible for accidents arising from improper use of the
    baby sarong carrier.

    Your baby has the best safety standards of an alert, loving wearer, which is you!
