HORIZONTAL MODE
HOW TO WEAR THE BABY CARRIER
WARNING: always put the baby carrier on before placing
your baby inside.
WARNING: when using it in horizontal mode, the fabric
hood section (O) must always be fastened to the carrier as
it guarantees safety for your baby when in this position.
Using the baby carrier in horizontal mode is ideal for babies
up to 3-4 months of age
1. Connect the shoulder straps to the safety clasps (P) loca-
ted under the centre section of the baby carrier
(diag. 1).
2. Use the button (H) on one of the shoulder straps to align
them correctly.
3. Put the baby carrier on, threading both straps over one
arm and your head (diag. 3).
4. Use the adjuster to alter the length of the shoulder straps
(diag. 4).
5. Use the back support (J) as a shoulder strap (diag.5).
HOW TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR BABY
It is recommended to sit down with the baby carrier resting
in your lap, or on a table, when placing your baby inside.
6. Check that the side safety clasps are undone, then ac-
commodate the baby inside so he is facing you; check that
his legs slide through the holes properly. Make sure you al-
ways keep a firm hold of your baby so you are not caught
off-guard if he starts moving around (diag. 6).
7. Fasten both the side opening safety clasps, threading
them under the flap and pulling them firmly downwards
until you hear them click into position (diag. 7).
WARNING: Always double-check that the safety clasps are
fastened properly.
8. Adjust the strap length until you find a safe and comfy
position for your baby. It is also necessary to adjust the
waist area and the leg slots so that the baby carrier is never
too wide or too tight and is suitable for your baby’s build
(diag. 8).
9. Assemble the padded section by fastening the safety cla-
sps on each end; regulate the length using the adjusters
fitted on each side of the back support (M)(diag. 9).
WARNING: always check that there is sufficient space
around the baby’s face to ensure correct air circulation.
