good ideas for great parents
Upright facing out
*for babies with excellent head control 5+ months
Fig E.1 to E.3 – Put Caboo dx+ on as before... making sure you loosen off the side straps, and
baby goes into the hammock in the same way (Fig D1-D.4), but instead of facing in your baby
faces away from you. It is important to hold your baby high up when putting them in and make
sure both straps are spread out well between the legs and behind the bottom and the straps
must go over baby’s shoulders as shown, fully spread out across the chest.
You will need to change the bottom strap setting on the Pod to forward facing (‘adjusting your
pod’ guide can be found on page 2) and take off the additional head support as it isn’t used
in this position.
E.4 – Place baby’s legs through the holes between the main pod and the bottom strap
on either side and bring the Pod up until snugly against baby’s body with the bottom strap
underneath the thigh. Clip the Pod to the side straps on both sides as before, and tighten the
straps. Once the Pod is in place, bring the waist buckles of the hammock through the belt loop
at the bottom of the Pod and clip together. Pull on the ends of the hammock straps to tighten.
Handy tip: make sure the bottom strap fits snugly under the back of baby’s bottom and thigh for
the best position and support.
Special precautions for facing out…
Baby should never be carried in this position for extended periods of more than 30 minutes
and should never be left to sleep in this position as there is no way to support baby’s head.
Always make sure baby’s arms are behind the straps in this position (E3) and always use the
Pod.
Regularly check that the straps are fully spread under baby’s bottom and across baby’s
chest. If baby seems unstable in any way or if you feel any discomfort revert to the facing in
position.
