•
THE BABY K’TAN BABY CARRIER (”BABY K’TAN” OR ”CARRIER”) IS NOT A
CAR SEAT OR A BICYCLE SEAT. NEVER WEAR YOUR CHILD IN THE CARRIER
WHILE TRAVELING IN A MOTORIZED VEHICLE OF ANY TYPE OR RIDING A
BICYCLE, SKATEBOARD OR ENGAGING IN ANY SIMILAR ACTIVITY. IN THE
EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR FALL, YOUR CHILD WOULD NOT BE
RESTRAINED AND COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.
SUFFOCATION HAZARD
-
THE BABY K’TAN BABY CARRIER IS NOT TO BE
USED FOR A CHILD WEIGHING LESS THAN 8 POUNDS OR MORE THAN 35
POUNDS. ENSURE INFANT’S FACE IS ABOVE THE FABRIC; VISIBLE AND FREE
FROM OBSTRUCTIONS AT ALL TIMES. USE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN WEARING
A BABY THAT IS AT GREATER RISK OF SUFFOCATION. BABIES AT GREATER
RISK OF SUFFOCATION INCLUDE THOSE BORN PREMATURELY, THOSE WITH
RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND THOSE UNDER FOUR MONTHS OF AGE.
ENSURE THE BABY DOES NOT CURL INTO A “C” POSITION WITH THE CHIN
RESTING ON OR NEAR THE CHEST. THIS POSITION CAN INTERFERE WITH
BREATHING, EVEN IF BABY’S NOSE AND/OR MOUTH ARE NOT COVERED.
•
IF USING THE SLING WHILE BREASTFEEDING, ALWAYS MOVE THE BABY’S
FACE AWAY FROM THE BREAST AFTER THE BABY IS DONE FEEDING.
•
CHECK OFTEN TO ENSURE THAT THE FABRIC DOES NOT COVER YOUR
CHILD’S FACE AND THAT THE POSITION OF YOUR BODY DOES NOT
RESTRICT YOUR CHILD’S AIRFLOW. YOUR CHILD’S FACE SHOULD BE IN
VIEW AT ALL TIMES AND AT OR ABOVE THE RIM OF THE CARRIER.
•
WHILE WEARING YOUR CHILD IN THE CARRIER, CHECK OFTEN TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOUR CHILD IS NOT TOO HOT, THE FABRIC FITS SNUGLY BUT
NOT TOO TIGHT, AND THAT YOUR CHILD IS POSITIONED AT OR CLOSE TO
YOUR CHEST AND IS SECURE IN THE CARRIER. IF THE CARRIER DOES NOT
FIT SNUGLY OVER YOU AND YOUR CHILD OR FEELS TOO TIGHT, DISCON-
TINUE USE OF THE CARRIER; YOU MAY NEED A DIFFERENT SIZE.
•
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD IN THE BABY K’TAN AFTER YOU HAVE
REMOVED THE CARRIER. DO NOT PUT YOUR CHILD IN A CRIB, PLAY AREA
OR OTHERWISE LEAVE HIM/HER UNATTENDED WHILE STILL IN THE CAR-
RIER. A CHILD COULD STRANGLE OR SUFFOCATE IN THE FABRIC IF LEFT
UNATTENDED.
