BabaSling - safe or not?

I have been using the BabaSling to carry my son who is now 13 months since he was a week old. I love this sling. It has given me so much freedom and its one of my favourite baby purchases ever. But lately there has been a lot of controversy over baby slings following the recall of Infantino SlingRiders due to safety concerns. I hope to use the BabaSling when I have another baby in the future so I was keen to find out how it is affected by the recall.

According to a response that BabaSlings has sent it's retailers, the problems that have been raised are to do with "baby-bag" style carriers: 'In a “bag-style” carrier the deep pouch, where the baby sits, puts the baby in a potentially suffocating curved position. Other design issues have been identified with this style of carrier, all of which do not affect theBabaSling™ in any way.' More information of safety issue with bag style carriers is available at http://babyslingsafety.blogspot.com/

The BabaSling provides support for carrying your child in positions that you would naturally carry them in without a sling. My advice is to carefully follow the instructions and when carrying a young baby, use one hand to help support their head. This feels like a much more natural way to use your sling in any case. Make sure your babies head is visible at all times.

The following are the main benefits that I have found from using the BabSling:
Freedom: it is so much easier to scoop your baby up in a sling then setup a pram. It also makes public transport, stairs, etc.. so much more accessible.
Security: babies feel most secure when they are in your arms and it easier to keep an eye on them. Even for longer journeys where a pram was necessary, I found myself bringing along the sling in case my son got upset.
Feeding: The BabaSling allows you to discreetly breastfeed your baby
Bonding and Social Skills: Buggies can be an isolating experience for a baby. A sling allows you to keep your baby close. This also promotes greater interaction with your baby when you are out. You can chat away pointing out interesting things as you go along.
