Below you will see a Statement made yesterday from the MD of Premaxx Leendert Goedman. In addition to this I would like to add that I can only re-iterate that the Premaxx Baby-Bag Sling conforms to all relevant safety standards and is a very different product to the Infantino Sling Rider.
 
Unlike most other slings on the market the Premaxx Sling has a padded base to offer support to a newborn baby's back and importantly it's sides are adjustable both front and back and top and bottom so that a baby being carried in the Premaxx Sling can always have sufficient airflow around it's head.
 
We also strongly advocate the use of two positions for the baby's safety, as although in theory a baby could be carried from newborn on a parents back in a sling we feel that this is unwise and increases risk.

Issued by Leendert Goedman - Managing Director of Premaxx BV 24 March 2010:

For your information the Premaxx Baby-Bag had recently been remodelled, it does not have the depth of fabric and also the fabric of the Premaxx Sling is turned away from the Baby's face - allowing for plenty of ventilation. There is no use of elastic in the Premaxx Slings and the sides of the sling are very easily adjusted to suit both the size of the baby and parent for maximum comfort. Also the base of the Premaxx Baby-bag is one of the very few slings that I know of, perhaps the only one, that offers the baby a padded supportive mattress to recline on. Personally this is one of the very reasons we love this model as we feel it truly offers the baby more support than other slings, including ring slings etc.... Also many people in our company carried their children, sometimes for nearly 2 years with this model and we ( including baby)  loved it.
I have not come across any complaints regarding the issue of "chin to chest", on the contrary we get a lot of feedback from people saying how content their babies are in the Baby-Bag.
In reality there are issues with many front carriers such as the possibility of hip-displacement and breathing concerns with some very minor statistical risk, which is why we promote slings as the ideal way to carry baby from birth.
 
And maybe even more important, before you are allowed to enter the European market you need to be tested and approved against very tough standards (EN 13209 & General Safety Product) ) and that makes the situation in Europe totally different with the US, where there are, as far as we know, still no clear testing procedures.
