Dangers of using secondhand or homemade/copycat Safe T Sleep® Sleepwraps®

PAPAKURA, New Zealand - Sept. 30, 2013 - PRLog -- To help give an understanding of how seriously we have and do consider absolute ‘safety’ for our baby products and explain how we ensure and monitor the continual quality, safety and value of the Safe T Sleep products, please read the below.

The tested and trusted Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap is made from double layers of:

top quality, specifically woven 100% organic cotton, which is regularly scientifically batch tested at great cost to ensure it is ‘chemical free’ for extra safety.
the fabric is also tested for a specific rating, measuring the strength, longlevity and breathability of the weave. This is especially important for young babies in the high SIDS (cot death) risk period, especially in hot climates.
top quality fastening strips are used for safety.
industrial strength thread is used for safety and longlevity.
Strict and regular manufacturing Quality Assurance and Quality Control procedures are constantly maintained for quality and safety product assurance.
The Safe T Sleep Small (Classic) model has almost as much fabric as a King size sheet and the Large (Travel) model more fabric than a King size sheet! (A branded bikini can be well over $100 and has less fabric than a tea towel!) J So the Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap definitely offers value for money.
Because of all of the above and our success history we know that the Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap lasts safely for two children 0-2years i.e. up to four years! This is approximately $3 a month…a few cents a day for babies safety and adults peace of mind.

SAFE T SLEEP IS A PATENTED, PROVEN, TRUSTED BRAND WITH A HIGHLY REGARDED BABY SAFETY PRODUCT RECORD. SINCE ITS INVENTION (1992), HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BABIES WORLDWIDE HAVE SLEPT SAFELY IN THE ORIGINAL, TESTED AND PROVEN Safe T Sleep® Sleepwrap® :)

DANGERS OF HOMEMADE/COPYCAT VERSIONS of the Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap

Safety concerns with copycat versions include: incorrect, untested fabric weave, any kind of buttons, zips, domes, tapes, straps, ribbons, poor quality, fastening strips and narrow dimensions or untested design may all place babies at risk.

A homemade version will not give the security and peace of mind that an original, tested and proven product gives. Babies are too precious to play with safety issues.

The specific strength and quality of the fabric weave, manufacturing process, extensive trials and dimension testing ensures that babies limbs cannot become entangled and that the product cannot bunch up into a narrow cord, which according to Paediatricians, could cause localised pressure around the baby’s torso or chest. This could cause serious breathing restriction.

Safe T Sleep has been exemplary in wide, responsible consultation and product research quality standards and education in the community for well over twenty years. Miriam Rutherford the Inventor was one of the early pioneers of Positive Parenting workshops and since inventing the Safe T Sleep Sleepwrap has helped a myriad of troubled mothers, run years of facilitative workshops and presented Medical Papers at National and International level to ensure the utmost integrity off the written literature and product safety.

“All to often people have a grand idea and do absolutely no testing or correct teaching to ensure wise and correct usage of products. There are few regulations and often if a product is in a pretty colour and package and has a good margin it can end up for sale entirely untested. This process is irresponsible, potentially dangerous and reactive and sadly accidents often need to happen before something is done.”

Safe T Sleep has, since its inception and are continually passionate about ‘safety’; quality assurance processes cost much more than people realise. Safe T Sleep believes it is imperative to ensure that top standards are kept constant to protect babies and give peace of mind to parents and caregivers.

We trust you understand why we need to protect babies, our good name, trusted brand, very hard work, integrity of our educational material and our safety record for babies since 1992.

In making a copy Sleepwrap you may get it right but you may also be playing with the safety of your babies and others. After a 21 year safety record is seems wise, as with all safety products, to ensure you buy the original, tested, trialled and proven item.
