Swan - Linen Sling

The sling's instructions walk through the T.I.C.K.S. rule in detail, specifying baby should be close enough to kiss, nose and mouth visible, chin off chest, and seated in a deep hammock-like seat with knees higher than bottom. This is a ring sling carry, not a bag-style enclosure.

The sling is stated to meet ASTM F2907 for full-term babies up to 35 lbs, and WildBird confirms it is CPSIA and ASTM compliant as a Baby Carrier Industry Alliance member. The applicable sling-carrier standard is named directly for this product.

WildBird states this sling is acknowledged as Hip-Healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute, and the instruction booklet directs caregivers to seat baby with knees higher than bottom and knees tucked into the kneepits, consistent with M-position support.

The linen fabric used in this sling is OEKO-TEX certified, a named certification an independent roundup also lists as a feature of WildBird's products. The sling has no foam padding, so the chemistry question is scoped to the fabric and dye alone.

We queried the CPSC recall database directly across its full 1973-2026 corpus and found no record naming WildBird in any role. The search covers comparable product classes like strollers and cribs, confirming the clean result reflects the brand's absence, not a gap in the data.

WildBird states the sling is made from high-quality aluminum rings sewn permanently into the fabric, with a published weight limit of 35 lbs, and instructs checking seams, rings and fabric for wear before each use. The extensive review corpus shows no pattern of buckle, ring or seam failure.

The linen fabric is dyed with low-impact dyes kind to skin, but no PFAS-free or flame-retardant-free declaration is made for this sling, and no method or test result accompanies the dye claim.

WildBird states it is CPSIA and ASTM compliant and is a member of the Baby Carrier Industry Alliance. The linen sling itself is also OEKO-TEX certified, a named certification the brand asserts for its ring sling fabric.

The sling is named as 100% natural European linen, woven, pre-washed and softened, with full care instructions, and is manufactured in China. Materials and manufacturing location are disclosed.
