drawstring as appropriate (fig. 1).

elastic band (Figure 2C).
HOW TO PLACE THE CHILD INSIDE THE BABY CARRIER
WARNING:
We recommend placing the child into the baby
carrier when seated or using a flat, level surface so that you are
able to control any sudden movements of the child.
WARNING: Before fitting the child in the baby carrier, make
sure that you have completed the previous steps correctly.
WARNING:
Hold your child safely while carrying out this op-
eration.
3. Pick up and place the child between the panel and padded
saddle E (fig. 3A), then fasten the buckles that adjust saddle
bag I and hold the legs in place (fig. 3B)
4. Adjust the leg opening according to the child’s size using the
bands with buckles I (fig. 4).
Note: The minimal size of the leg hole is set by adjusting the
buckle up to the grey mark sewed onto the strap
WARNING:
Make sure that the child’s legs are astride the seat
and inserted inside the padded saddle.
WARNING: Once the child is placed in the baby carrier, adjust
buckles I in the most suitable position according to the child’s
size, so that the padded saddle won’t be too large or too tight.
HOW TO FASTEN THE BABY CARRIER
Lengthening the shoulder straps before wearing the baby car-
rier will make this step easier.
5. Place one of the shoulder straps on your shoulder, in such a way
that it falls behind your back (fig. 5A) then, using the opposite
hand, grasp double adjustment buckle J and fasten it on the
opposite side (fig. 5B). Do the same for the other shoulder strap.
6. To adjust the shoulder straps, pull the armhole straps of the
double-adjustment J buckles. It is advisable to proceed by first
pulling the strap forward and fastening the safety elastic to the
buckle (fig. 6). For further adjustment act on the rear strap (fig.7)
HOW TO ADJUST THE BABY CARRIER
The baby carrier is designed to fit parents of all sizes and chil-
dren at all stages of their growth.
7. The double adjustment buckles J allows to adjust the size of
the baby carrier by adapting it to the child’s size (fig. 6 - 7), as
well as the shoulder straps’ length.
8. The drawstring N positioned in the lower part of the baby
carrier allows you to adjust the width of the seat according
to your child’s size and to ensure optimal support and the
correct position of the legs. (fig. 8).
9. The buckles O on either side of the front panel allow the
length of the panel to be adjusted to the child’s actual height
(fig. 9). Always ensure that your children have sufficient space
around their face so they can breathe properly.
HOOD FUNCTIONS
The hood can be fastened at two different heights:
10. When it is not being used as a hood, it can be fastened to
the lower slots. To make it more compact, have the button
pass under the shoulder strap and fasten it from the outside
to provide additional support for the baby’s neck (fig. 10).
11. When fastened to the upper buttonholes, the hood protects
the child from the sun and during sleep. When using it, fas-
tening only one button is recommended, so as to guarantee
the appropriate privacy while maintaining visual contact
with the child (fig. 11).
WARNING:
Always ensure that your children have sufficient
space around their face so they can breathe properly.
HOW TO REMOVE THE CHILD FROM THE BABY CARRIER
WARNING:
