ABSTRACT
This consumer safety specification covers the requirements and test methods to promote safe use of infant and infant/toddler rockers by both occupants and caregivers. It is intended to minimize the risk of injury or death associated with a child’s use of an infant or infant/toddler rocker. The specific hazards addressed by this specification are product disassembly/collapse, stability, and falls from elevated surfaces. Intended occupants for infant rockers are infants who have not developed the ability to sit up unassisted (approximately 0-6 months of age), and infant/toddler rockers with an extended use with occupants until toddler age (approximately 2.5 years of age). Both infant and infant/toddler rockers include a restraint system. This specification does not address positions or modes on products that recline to 10 degrees or less above the horizontal or are intended primarily for sleeping. Also excluded from this specification are rockers intended for toddler only use without a restraint system, hand-held infant carriers or inclined sleep products that have the ability to rock or have a rocking mode. Test methods include seat angles test and cover single action release mechanisms, restraint system, stability, static slip resistance, structural integrity, disassembly/collapse, toy bar attachment integrity, permanency of labels and warnings, and protective components. Requirements for marking and labeling are also covered by this specification.

ABSTRACT
This consumer safety specification establishes performance requirements, test methods and marking requirements to promote safe use of sling carriers. It indicates the performance requirements and test methods of sling carriers; these tests are the static load test, dynamic load test, adhesion test, occupant retention test, and restraint system. This specification also identifies the proper markings and labels that should be placed on the sling carriers.
SCOPE
1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes performance requirements, test methods and marking requirements to promote safe use of sling carriers.  
1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injury to an occupant from the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of products.  
1.3 For purposes of definition, a sling carrier is a product of fabric or sewn fabric construction, which is designed to contain up to two (2) children in an upright or reclined position while being supported by the caregiver’s torso. Sling carriers are normally used from full-term birth to 35 lb (15.9 kg) unless the manufacturer indicates that a higher weight limit is allowed.
Note 1: Slings consist of a variety of unstructured designs ranging from a hammock-shaped product suspended on the caregiver’s upper torso to a long length of material wrapped around the caregiver’s body.  
1.4 The sling carrier is normally “worn” by the caregiver, and thus the child is supported from one or both shoulders of the caregiver. These products are worn on the front, hip or back of the caregiver, with the child either facing towards or away from the caregiver or reclined on the front only of the caregiver.  
1.5 No sling carrier produced after the approval date of this consumer safety specification shall, either by label or other means, indicate compliance with the specification unless it complies with all of the requirements contained herein.  
1.6 This consumer safety specification is not intended to address incidents and injuries resulting from the interaction of other persons or objects with the caregiver and child while the sling carrier is in use.  
1.7 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.8 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 7, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

ABSTRACT
This consumer safety specification is intended to address incidents reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) relating to frame child carriers. In response to the incident data compiled by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification attempts to minimize the hazards associated with these products from the following: occupant retention, structural integrity, and deficiency of consumer education regarding product use. This consumer safety specification is intended to deal with reasonably foreseeable use and misuse of the products. Performance requirements of the frame child carriers shall be determined by subjecting them to the following tests: leg opening test, dynamic strength test, static load test, stability test, locking device test, unintentional folding test, and removal of protective components test such as torque test and tension test. Instructions shall be provided with the product and shall be easy to read and understand. Instructions for assembly, use, maintenance, and cleaning of the product, and warnings, where applicable, shall be included.

ABSTRACT
This consumer safety specification is intended to address incidents reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) relating to frame child carriers. In response to the incident data compiled by the CPSC, this consumer safety specification attempts to minimize the hazards associated with these products from the following: occupant retention, structural integrity, and deficiency of consumer education regarding product use. This consumer safety specification is intended to deal with reasonably foreseeable use and misuse of the products. Performance requirements of the frame child carriers shall be determined by subjecting them to the following tests: leg opening test, dynamic strength test, static load test, stability test, locking device test, unintentional folding test, and removal of protective components test such as torque test and tension test. Instructions shall be provided with the product and shall be easy to read and understand. Instructions for assembly, use, maintenance, and cleaning of the product, and warnings, where applicable, shall be included.

SCOPE
1.1 This consumer safety specification establishes performance requirements, test methods and marking requirements to promote safe use of sling carriers.  
1.2 This consumer safety specification is intended to minimize the risk of injury to an occupant from the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of products.
