Check out is for one month. If you cannot return the carrier to the next meeting, you can make arrangements to return it by mail or in person to a leader at the location of their choosing by contacting info@slingbabies.org. It is your responsibility to return the carrier in a timely manner.

You make check out one carrier per month. Approval for a second carrier will be determined on a case by case basis at the sole discretion of the Sling Babies Leaders.

Carriers should be returned clean and ready for the next person to check out. The carrier should be reasonably clean and neatly folded. This DOES NOT mean you have to launder the carrier. If it is not dirty, do not wash it. If it is dirty, please clean it. (See Cleaning)

Never use fabric softener, bleach, or detergents with perfumes when laundering a carrier.

Using fabric softener or bleach on a carrier will cause the carrier to be considered ruined and member will be charged for carrier replacement. Unless otherwise instructed, you may clean all carriers in COLD water on GENTLE cycle and HANG DRY.

DO NOT LAUNDER ANY SOFT STRUCTURED CARRIERS. Spot clean any areas that become dirty and notify our leaders if that is not sufficient.

If you have any questions about cleaning a carrier, please contact info@slingbabies.org.

Do not expose a carrier to tobacco smoke or tobacco smoke residue. Do not use carrier where people are smoking or store a carrier in a place where there is tobacco smoke residue. A carrier that is returned smelling of smoke will be considered ruined and member will be charged for carrier replacement.

Please treat carriers respectfully. If you ruin a carrier, your deposit will pay for the replacement of said carrier. The Sling Babies Leaders have sole discretion for determining whether a carrier is ruined.

You assume the responsibility for safely using all carriers and for inspecting the stitching, fabric and any hardware (buckles, rings, etc) to determine that the carrier is sound and suitable for carrying your child. You assume the risk of using the carrier. Each time you check out a carrier you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Capital Region Sling Babies, its Leaders and members (the ‘Releasees’), for any harm that may result to you or any child from the use of the carrier, including any harm allegedly resulting from the Releasees’ instruction or alleged failure to instruct.
