| Please read this entire section carefully before first use. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death to your child. If you sell or give your sling to someone else, be sure to include these instructions and direct the recipient to the User & Safety information at www.9in9out.com.
Please be aware that the 9in9out baby sling does not contain a safety belt or harness. You are responsible for the safety of your child while he or she is in the sling.
Always inspect the sling carefully before each use. Make sure the fabric 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 many children.
Check all seams, especially around the rings, as this is what supports your baby. If the sling looks worn or frayed, or threads do not look secure, then please do not use the sling. We are willing to make repairs or shore it up, if possible, for a nominal fee.
Make sure the “tail” of the sling (the end with the pocket) is threaded correctly through the rings. If not, you need to fold the sides inward and take that end up through both rings and then over only the top ring and under the bottom ring. Make sure it has tension and that the entire pocket is through the rings and hanging outside of the rings.
Keep one hand on the baby as a precaution until you are very confident in your sling skills.
WARNING: Young babies can suffocate in slings if their chin is pressed against his or her chest, impeding breathing. Make sure your babys airway is unobstructed and that she or he is breathing regularly at all times, particularly when sleeping.
For the upright positions, always make sure the baby is securely inside, and that the fabric isn’t slipping up the baby’s legs or back, which would allow her to fall through. The child should be sitting gently leaning back, as if sitting in a hammock, and the sling should cover the child from under the arms to under the knees. Baby’s legs should wrap around your body and top rail should be tight. Please see our photos for clarification and call us with any questions!
Keep the baby away from mechanical objects & machinery, hot water, fire, sharp & chokable objects, etc while wearing the sling. Our fabrics are not flame-retardant. Be aware of what is within your baby’s reach when in the sling.
Do not leave baby unattended in a sling.
Our cotton and silk slings are not intended for use in water. They are not rated for sun protection, so use a hat and sunscreen at your discretion.
If your baby is super wiggly or trying to climb out, remove him or her from the sling until calm to prevent unwanted accidents.
Be aware of the extra “bump” when you’re wearing your baby and walking through doorways, etc.
The sling is only meant for walking and sitting. It is not designed for running, rollerblading, sports, driving, biking, etc.
It is not meant to be a car seat replacement.
Don’t bend over or move quickly without holding on to your baby with at least one hand, or your baby might fall out and get hurt.
Metal rings may get hot if you leave the sling in the sun or the car.
Please use the pouch of the sling only for your baby. All other items should be placed in the pockets provided in the sling.
Most slings are meant to support a maximum weight of 25 - 35 lbs. If it feels to heavy for you, take a break or retire the sling. Monitor your back for discomfort. Take breaks and switch sides. Be back-smart. Bend at the knees, not at the hips, to save both your back, and to keep the baby in the sling.
It is not appropriate for young children to carry babies in a sling. They may not be physically able to carry the weight and may lack the maturity to handle the baby safely.
The makers of the 9 In 9 Out baby slings are not responsible for any accidents you have while using our products. Please be careful and use common sense. |
