BABY WEARING SAFETY TIPS Baby slings are not a substitute for responsible parenting and common sense! Pay attention to your baby at all times. A sling will not prevent little hands from reaching out and investigating or little bodies from wriggling free of any sling position. Please read the instructions carefully. Failure to do so can result in serious harm to your baby. Our fabrics are not flame-retardant. Use caution if you cook with your baby in a sling. Oopa Baby recommends that you not cook at all or consume any hot liquids or beverages while wearing your baby in a sling. Do not use a sling in place of a car seat when in a motor vehicle. It is not recommended to carry babies weighing over 35 lbs. in your Oopa Baby sling. Always make sure that baby is well supported and properly situated inside the sling before you remove your hands from him. If you are not sure, practice first with a doll or stand in front of a mirror, to ensure that you are correctly placing and adjusting your sling. Do not use your Oopa Baby sling while participating in strenuous exercise or activity. Always check that the fabric and seams of your Oopa Baby sling are in good condition. If you notice any signs of wear or structural weakness, do not continue to use the sling. Under such circumstances, Oopa Baby, LLC will not be able to insure the integrity of the product.
