Always great content Rob. I fly SAR for a Sheriff's Dept. and SR3 has conducted hoist over water and initial Lezard certification for us and I highly recommend them.

Thanks for this visual review. Very helpful. How would this work for a parent with baby in front carrier? Is there enough room in there for this scenario? Can this be used without putting arms through arm holes so mom or dad can keep hands on infant in chest carrier? I would love to see a review of the Cascade Rescue StableSeat that seems like a comparable product.

Hi there! It would need to be assessed on a case by case basis - if the baby was small, it may work, however you'd need be cautious of any crushing caused during the lift - one alternate solution is to use 2x of these devices, one for baby, one for parent, utilizing the infant restraint straps inside - alternately CMC also makes the "Stork" infant rescue bag designed specifically for baby rescues. Regarding the arms, it's always better to have the arms through the holes as intended although it is possible to use the device with the arms inside, rescuers would need to make this assessment on a case-by-case basis and use their discretion. In our opinion the CMC bag is the best and most versatile option on the market, we love it!
