An integrated leg opening is an opening for the child's legs in the product before it is attached to the body of the caregiver. The leg opening that occurs when the caregiver wears the product is not an integrated opening.

Child slings are not covered by EN 13209-1 and EN 13209-2.

CEN /TR 16512 for guidelines on the safety of child slings is useful for:

  • slingshot manufacturers
  • slingshot suppliers
  • Childcare unit manufacturers
  • Slingshot Designers
  • Product development teams/innovation teams
  • quality control personnel

Slings are also similar to soft carriers designed to carry a child on the body of the caregiver, the main differences being that the slings do not have integral openings for the child's limbs and are only formed when attached to the body of the caregiver.

CEN/TR 16512 provides guidelines for potential hazards associated with slings.
