    I could see using something like this for daytime while you can supervise to give the baby the feeling of being in a sling without you actually having to hold them. But I would be very concerned about a child sleeping in one due to suffication issues. Certainly anything past the newborn stage ie some babies can roll onto their side by a couple months and that could have them trapped against the sides. We aren't even supposed to use bumper pads in a big crib anymore for that reason.

    I feel the same way, it gave me goose bumps thinking of possible suffocation but would be great to use for naptime in the day in place of a swing. As long as there close.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
