Safety for you and your child requires not only a quality product, but also the careful attention
of the wearer, both to these instructions and in daily use.
ERGObaby strives to create products that will support the development of your child in the
best way possible. Our design is inspired by research ERGObaby conducted with moms
and their infants for more than a year. This research contributed to the creation of an infant
insert that keeps the hip joint in place for proper hardening of the cartilage of the hip socket.
To ensure the optimum position, a baby should have the knees up, squatting, at about 110
degrees and spread 90 degrees.

The ERGObaby Infant Insert
is designed with the utmost care and concern for the
safety and comfort of your child. ERGObaby products are manufactured to be free of de-
fects. If you discover a problem within the first month of use please return the insert to us and
we will either repair or replace it. Proof of purchase is required.
Please keep these instructions for future use
To nurse in the baby carrier with the Infant Insert :
You can easily breastfeed
your baby in the ERGObaby Carrier with the Infant Insert
by slightly loosen-
ing the shoulder straps and lowering your baby. The Infant Insert
should have
the closure strap unsnapped and the padding pulled back for easier access. The baby
carrier hood can be extended for privacy when nursing, or as a sun shield.
To remove your baby from the carrier:
Support your baby with one arm wrapped firmly
around him/her, and then reach behind your neck to unfasten the chest strap buckle.
Slip the opposite arm out of the shoulder strap and slide your hand in between the In-
fant Insert
and the carrier. You can keep your baby wrapped in the insert for
extra support. Gently remove your baby in the Infant Insert
from the carrier with
both hands. When removing your sleeping baby from the carrier, lay the baby on a soft
surface, unbuckle the waist straps and allow the carrier to release from your body. Your
baby can remain sleeping in this position. If using the closure strap, you may unsnap it at
this time.
How to know when your child is ready to be carried without the Infant Insert
:
The Infant Insert
is designed for use during baby’s first 4 - 5 months.
Discontinue use of the Infant Insert only when your child has excellent head
and neck control. This usually occurs between 4 - 5 months.
Correct positioning for the safety and comfort of your newborn until baby achieves
good neck and head control:
Baby should not be curled tight chin to chest because this
position partially closes baby’s airway. There should always be at least one finger’s width
of space under the baby’s chin. An infant should be repositioned if it is having any sign of
respiratory difficulty.
