What is this product?

Structured soft carriers (SSCs) worn on the parent's body with the infant pressed against dyed synthetic or cotton-blend fabric for extended periods. The carrier fabric is in continuous contact with the infant's face, hands, and often bare legs. Textile dyes (azo dyes, disperse dyes) can release aromatic amines and sensitizing chemicals through sweat-activated leaching. Some carriers include FR-treated structural foam inserts. The body heat from both parent and baby creates a warm, humid microclimate that accelerates chemical migration. Infants are typically carried 2-6 hours/day in the first year.
