please don’t panic about these sleepers.. when you read the details of the reports, babies were not strapped in-never a safe thing to do in any device which comes with straps. straps are there for the safety of the child and should always be used. also, some reports included loose blanket and/or pillow-never safe to leave in an infant’s crib. the biggest problem with these inclined sleepers is that babies have difficulty transitioning to a flat sleeping surface because they often calm down better when inclined. The same difficulty occurs when babies are used to sleeping in a stroller or infant car seat.
