WARNING! FALL AND SUFFOCATION HAZARD

  • 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 designed for babies aged 3 months and up, weighing between 6-15 kg.

2. How to Wear the Carrier

Before You Begin

Inspect the carrier for any signs of damage or wear. Do not use if any part of the carrier appears damaged.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

1. Prepare the Shoulder Straps and Waist Belt:

  • Place the carrier over your shoulders, letting the shoulder straps rest comfortably.
  • Take the waist belt and buckle it diagonally to each shoulder strap, ensuring a snug fit.
  • Adjust the straps as needed to make sure the carrier sits securely on your body.

2. Open the Front Zipper:

Unzip the carrier's front panel to create an entry for placing your baby inside.

3. Place Your Baby in the Carrier:

  • Carefully lift your baby and position them through the front opening, ensuring they are seated comfortably.
  • Once your baby is securely in place, zip up the front panel.
  • Check that the zipper is fully closed and does not pinch the baby's skin or clothing.
  • While a protective layer is provided under the zipper, double-checking ensures added safety.

4. Final Adjustments:

  • Verify that your baby is in a seated position with their knees slightly higher than their bottom (the "M" position).
  • Tightness: The carrier should be snug enough to securely hold the baby against your chest but loose enough for you to move comfortably.
  • Check Frequently: As the baby moves, recheck straps, buckles, buttons, and zippers periodically to ensure everything remains securely fastened.

6. Using the Detachable Hood (If Purchased)

Airflow and Overheating: If you have purchased the detachable hood, please ensure that your baby's airflow is not restricted and check frequently for signs of overheating.

7. Important Safety Information

  • No Motorcycles or Bicycles: Do not wear the carrier while driving or riding any kind of motor vehicle or bicycle. This can be extremely dangerous for your baby.
  • Avoid Cooking or Being Near Heat: Refrain from cooking, using open flames, or standing close to any heat sources while wearing the carrier. Babies can be sensitive to heat, and proximity to flames can pose a severe risk.
  • No Cleaning with Chemicals: Avoid using household cleaning agents or chemicals while wearing the carrier, as fumes or spills could affect your baby.
  • Avoid High-Risk Activities: Do not engage in strenuous activities while wearing the carrier. Keep movements slow and controlled to prevent any unnecessary risks.

8. Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: Can I use this carrier with a newborn?

A: No, this carrier is designed for babies aged 3 months and up, with a weight range of 6-15 kg. For newborns, a carrier specifically designed for that age group is recommended.

Q: Can I use the carrier in a front-facing position?

A: You may use the front-facing position if both you and your baby are comfortable with it. Otherwise, we recommend sticking to the face-to-chest or face-to-back position for better support and safety.

Q: Can I breastfeed while using the carrier?

A: Yes, many parents find that they can breastfeed discreetly while using the carrier. Make sure to adjust the carrier for comfort and support and always monitor your baby's positioning.

Q: What should I do if my baby falls asleep in the carrier?

A: It's common for babies to fall asleep in carriers. Ensure their head and neck are well-supported, and their face is visible and free from any obstructions.

Q: Can I wear the carrier over a bulky coat or jacket?

A: We recommend wearing the carrier over lighter clothing to ensure a secure fit and better control.

Q: Can I wear the carrier while exercising?

A: We do not recommend wearing the carrier during strenuous activities. The carrier is designed for gentle, controlled movements to keep your baby safe.
