Keep Closer Newborn Carrier Instructions

Welcome to Keep Closer!

Thank you for choosing our newborn-compatible baby carrier. This model is designed to provide safety, support, and comfort from day one. Please read this guide carefully before using your carrier.

1. Safety Warnings

WARNING! FALL AND SUFFOCATION HAZARD

  • Fall Hazard: Ensure all buckles, straps, buttons, and zippers are securely fastened before each use. Always keep one hand on the baby while adjusting the carrier. Never bend at the waist while wearing the carrier; instead, bend at the knees.
  • Suffocation Hazard: Infants under 4 months can suffocate if their face is pressed against your body. Ensure the baby’s face is visible and free to breathe at all times.
  • Age and Weight Limit: This carrier is suitable for babies from newborn (3.5 kg / 7.7 lbs) up to 15 kg (33 lbs).
  • Monitor Your Baby: Always monitor your baby while using the carrier to ensure proper positioning and breathing.

2. Adjusting the Seat Width

To ensure your baby is seated in the ergonomic “M” position, adjust the seat width of the carrier according to your baby’s age and size. Make sure their knees are always higher than their bottom to promote healthy hip development.

3. How to Use the Carrier

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

3.1 Prepare the Waist Belt:

  • Locate the small label on the waist belt to help position it correctly.
  • Wrap the belt around your natural waist with the label facing your belly.
  • Secure the buckle and tighten the strap for a snug, comfortable fit.

3.2 Prepare the First Shoulder Strap:

  • Take one shoulder strap and cross it diagonally across your back.
  • Attach it to the side buckle of the carrier and ensure it's securely fastened.

3.3 Place Your Baby in the Carrier:

  • Hold your baby in the face-to-chest position against your chest.
  • Gently place your baby’s legs into the carrier.
  • Keep one hand on the baby until both shoulder straps are secured.

3.4 Secure the Second Shoulder Strap:

  • Take the second shoulder strap and cross it over your back diagonally.
  • Attach it to the buckle on the opposite side of the carrier.
  • Ensure both straps are crossed for even weight distribution.

3.5 Adjust the Shoulder Straps:

  • Tighten or loosen the shoulder straps for comfort and proper positioning.
  • Secure all elastic safety loops on buckles.
  • Check that your baby’s knees are higher than their bottom in an “M” shape.
  • Recheck straps, buckles, and fastenings regularly during use.

3.6 Using the Detachable Hood:

If using the detachable hood, ensure your baby’s airflow is not restricted. Check often for signs of overheating. Only use the hood for short periods.

4. Important Babywearing Tips

  • Too Low – Incorrect: Baby is sitting too low, making it hard to monitor them.
  • Close Enough to Kiss – Correct: Baby should be high enough that you can easily kiss the top of their head.
  • Dangling Legs – Incorrect: Baby’s legs hang straight down—this is not ergonomic.
  • M-Shape Position – Correct: Baby’s knees should be higher than their bottom for proper hip support.
  • Belt Too Low – Incorrect: Waist belt below natural waist causes discomfort and poor support.
  • Natural Waist Placement – Correct: Belt should be on your natural waist to support your back and balance the baby’s weight.
  • Fully Covered Head – Incorrect: Baby’s head should not be completely covered to allow proper breathing.
  • Partially Covered – Correct: Baby’s head should be visible at all times.
  • Overdressed Baby – Incorrect: Too many layers can cause overheating.
  • Proper Layering – Correct: Dress baby in light layers and adjust for weather.
