Listen "Calls for baby carrier safety standards as ACC claims double"
Episode Synopsis
New figures from ACC show 11 claims for babies or toddlers with carrier related injuries in 2024, more than twice the number the year before. It's prompted renewed calls for the government to introduce official safety standards for baby carriers, wraps and slings. It also follows a rise in social media videos often showing babies snuggly strapped to an adults front, in some cases with their faces and airways obscured. Louise Tanguay, founder of Auckland-based The Sleep Store, spoke to Lisa Owen.
