The closure of Hotslings highlights the important work to be done in the baby carrier industry to ensure its health and stability. The BCIA is working hard to develop safe and achievable standards for all sling carriers through the ASTM and to help the baby carrier industry grow. Additionally, the BCIA is working to bring accurate information about the importance of baby slings for the well-being of infants and families to the general public, media, and medical communities.

The closure of Hotslings, Inc is a huge loss for North American parents and babies and for the baby carrier industry as a whole. If your life has been touched by a Hotsling, the BCIA asks that you consider becoming a BCIA member or making a donation in tribute to Hotslings. The work of the BCIA is just beginning and we require support in order to ensure that more companies don’t suffer the fate of Hotslings, Inc.
