Soft infant and toddler carriers covered by this policy

A soft infant and toddler carrier is a product constructed of sewn fabric.

It is normally worn on one or both shoulders of the caregiver, with a child positioned in the carrier. Products generally referred to as “slings” are not included in the definition of soft infant and toddler carrier, and are outside the scope of this policy.
