SAFETY AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect before each use and don’t use if there
are signs of wear. Don’t leave young babies
wrapped in a sling to sleep as they could
become entangled in the fabric. Use common
sense when using your baby carrier, and avoid
any activities that will shake or put your baby in
danger, e.g. jogging, bike riding, carrying hot
drinks, cooking. Always check your baby’s
airways are clear.
Tie the straps in a square knot (not a bow).
Before use read all instructions. Practice with a
doll or teddy before trying with baby over a soft
surface or with a helper.
For your comfort ensure baby’s weight is not hanging away from you because the carrier is
too loose (make sure there is no gap between your body and baby’s body) Baby should be
seated with knees higher than their bottom. Do not overdress baby.
