Explained in plain English

Why are inclined sleepers dangerous?

Inclined or elevated baby sleep products are dangerous because they can cause an infant's head to fall forward, obstructing their airway and increasing the risk of suffocation. They also elevate the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), which is why NHS guidance is so clear.
