With our twins, it was not uncommon for me to vacuum with one in a sling and one in a Baby Bjorn. It was great. The vacuum and motion put them to sleep, and my happy I was able to get some chores done!

Noe it looks like the Consumer Product Safety Commission is going to issue a warning about baby slings. Sound like there have been some suffocations. We used one of these when we brought home Bubba because he was only 4 pounds and not big enough for any other kind of carrier, but I had that concern then -- he could almost disappear down in that thing.

So I guess they are going to print warning labels?

I guess i should disclose that BabyBjorn is a sponsor of this site, so I am obviously biased.

Our toddler was trying to put on a bright yellow Bjorn the other day. It made him look like a crossing guard.

And...

If anyone sees a 2 year old walking around town with a yellow Bjorn and his 3 month old brother safely mounted to his chest, do let me know. I just know they're planning their escape!


And..

The toddler approves of the Bjorn.

@Ben, your last comment immediately made me think of Pinky and the Brain.

"Before each night is done
Their plan will be unfurled
By the dawning of the sun
They'll take over the world.

They're Pinky and The Brain
Yes, Pinky and The Brain
Their twilight campaign
Is easy to explain.
To prove their mousey worth "

I regularly refer to my two as Pinky and the Brain, my wife has no idea what I am talking about.

The slings that are a suffocation risk are the ones that look like your baby is being carried in a duffle bag (infantino, munchkin cargo sling, eddie bauer sling, etc.) There isn't a safe way to use them--even used correctly, they bend baby so that their airway can kink. The elastic in the sides pull the sling closed so that you can't see baby and they end up rebreathing stale air. Not all slings are created equally, I wish the CPSC hadn't lumped all slings into their warning.

And sorry sponsors, but we love the Ergo and Beco a heck of a lot more than we did the Bjorn. You can use them on front or back and they're comfortable up to 40 pounds. Plus, there are less buckles and snaps to deal with so they're easier to put on.

We just bought a Moby Wrap carrier online last night and I'm dying for the thing to get here. For the past week at least once a day Jack will throw a fit until someone picks him up and holds him until he falls asleep, however long that will take. I'm typing this one handed because I'm going through one of those fits right now. And since he slept most of the day who knows when he'll actually fall asleep. I just pray this sling does the trick.
