Linen Sling

WildBird documents TICKS-consistent positioning for this sling, instructing that baby's head and airways sit above the top panel, nose and mouth stay visible, and the carry is close enough to kiss, with a full instruction booklet and tutorials to reinforce it.

This sling meets the ASTM F2907 standard for full-term babies up to 35 lbs, the standard specific to sling carriers, and WildBird confirms general CPSIA and ASTM compliance as a Baby Carrier Industry Alliance member.

This sling carries the International Hip Dysplasia Institute's Hip-Healthy designation, and the instruction booklet directs caregivers to seat baby with knees higher than the bottom in a deep, hammock-like seat consistent with M-position support.

The sling has no foam padding, so chemistry here is the linen fabric alone. WildBird describes it as dyed with low-impact dyes gentle on baby's skin, and a third-party roundup separately names OEKO-TEX certification for the brand's products, though no scope statement ties that specifically to this sling's linen.

We queried the CPSC recall database directly (10,082 records, 1973-2026) and found no recall filed against WildBird in any role, at any date. The brand also publishes a general transparency commitment around sourcing and manufacturing.

WildBird states a 35 lb weight limit meeting ASTM F2907 and describes the hardware as high-quality aluminum rings, sewn in rather than interchangeable; the review corpus is clean of buckle, ring or seam failure reports over time.

The sling has no foam padding, so this criterion is graded on fabric chemistry alone: the linen is dyed with low-impact dyes, kinder to skin and the planet, but no named chemical standard or test method is given for this specific fabric claim.

The sling is stated to meet ASTM F2907 for full-term babies up to 35 lbs, and WildBird states it is CPSIA and ASTM compliant as a member of the Baby Carrier Industry Alliance. The IHDI Hip-Healthy designation is also named for this product.

The fabric is named and sourced (100% natural linen, European fibers, manufactured in China), dyed with low-impact dyes, and the brand publishes a 1-year limited warranty on this carrier along with free babywearing education and troubleshooting support.
