Postei hoje alguns recalls de slings, casos de argolas partidas / dobradas, e costuras mal feitas. Em alguns casos, bebes se machucaram: em um deles, um bebe teve fratura de cranio!!!
Casos assim fazem as maes pensarem: O sling é seguro?!
Sim, o sling é seguro, desde que seja feito com os materiais adequados, e principalmente, que seja feito por alguem que acredita no babywearing como uma filosofia de vida, e nao somente seja um "fabricante de carregadores". Estes 2 fatores sao muito importantes e devem ser decisivos na hora de escolher qual sling comprar.
É preciso tomar muito cuidado com as argolas do seu ring sling!!! Elas precisam ser de metal, sem soldas, ou de nylon. Nao compre um sling somente pelo preço, nem pela beleza, pois nele voce vai colocar a coisa mais preciosa de sua vida: seu bebe!
Em todos os casos de recall que listei abaixo, os problemas aconteceram unica e exclusivamente pelo uso de materiais inadequados! Já postei um topico aqui sobre a qualidade das argolas, que deve ser lido e relido antes de comprar um sling.
Lembrem-se: o sling é usado desde a antiguidade, sem maiores problemas, mas hoje infelizmente nos vivemos numa sociedade de consumo-consumo-consumo, onde o que importa para alguns fabrincantes é vender-vender-vender, e nao difundir o babywearing... sling nao eh moda!!
Carregar seu bebê no pano é estilo sim, mas estilo de vida!!
