good ideas for great parents

Putting on your Caboo dx+

Fig  A.2  -  Make  sure  the  side  straps  are  loosened  off  first  and  nothing  is  twisted.  Hold  the          

hammock out in front of you as shown…the logo should be facing you reading the right way up.
Fig A.3 - Place the hammock over your head like a T-shirt…your arms should go out through the 
sides and head through the middle.
Fig A.4 - Pull the lumbar support down at the back ensuring that the straps aren’t twisted…         
the bottom of the lumbar support should sit comfortably in your mid to low back.
Fig A.5 - Tighten the hammock at the front by pulling the straps at each side down and forward 
evenly, leaving just enough room to get your baby in...it is important that it’s not too loose, baby 
should be comfortably close  (see handy tips below)
Fig A.6 - To check the tightness of the hammock, simply place your hands behind the straps as 
shown, you should be able to stretch the fabric approximately 10-12cm clear from your chest, 
no more. Take some time to identify the inner strap; this is the strap that runs closest to your 
body, the other is referred to as your outer strap.
Fig A.7 - To loosen the hammock at any time lift the visible front/top ring at each side up and 
outwards and pull the fabric to lengthen the strap. 

Handy tips;  If you are unsure whether the carrier is tight enough you can use this test. Gently 
press the palm of your open hand across baby’s back, there should be very little movement if it 
is correctly tightened. You should also be able to kiss the top of baby’s head very easily.
