Hospital admission Made Jun 3, 2014, sent to the company Jun 11, 2014, published by CPSC Jul 2, 2014
The product, in the report: Ergobaby Original Front Pack Baby Carrier
My life was forever changed two weeks ago, in a split second, when my three month old son and I were headed to the playground with my husband and three year old daughter. I was walking with my son, [REDACTED] , in an ergo front pack carrier when suddenly I tripped and fell. [REDACTED] was facing inwards sound asleep when we fell. I fell so hard and fast that I couldn’t get my hands down in time to break my fall. My son [REDACTED] head hit the concrete while still in the pack and he sustained a serious head injury on the right side of his head. We called 911 and paramedics rushed to the scene. [REDACTED] was taken to [REDACTED] where we were told he would need to have emergency brain surgery. He had a skull fracture, epidural bleed and swelling. The next two plus hours where a complete blur to me as we sat waiting for our precious newborn to come out of surgery. Once the operation was finished we were told that his dura was also torn and repaired during the surgery and he required a blood transfusion. The next 72 hours, [REDACTED] , would be in critical condition, his brain pressure was monitored, while blood was draining from his brain. We were told if the pressure increased his condition could be fatal. Luckily, my son survived but after 11 days in the hospital he is now still recovering at home. We begin physical therapy this week as his left side was weakened due to the accident. Also, no one can say what other long term affects might be. Until the accident, I never realized how dangerous baby carriers can be. Surely, designs could be changed to make babies safer in the event a caregiver falls down while baby wearing.
