Helpful Hints:
• The Cuddle Up™ Ergonomic Hoodie Carrier is designed for greater comfort for both you and your child. The strap
system distributes baby's weight to make carrying more comfortable for you and baby, letting baby ride in a natural seated
position.
• Front Carry Position - Until your child is able to fully sit upright on their own, this is the correct position. In this position,
you can entertain your baby and bond with them while still having your hands free.
• How do you know if your baby is at the right height when worn in the front? - You should be able to tilt forward slightly and
kiss the top of your child’s head.
• When placing your baby in or taking them out of the carrier, sitting down will make the process easier. Until you are
familiar with the placement of baby, it is also recommended to do so over a soft surface.
• It is best to limit the use of your carrier to 10-20 minutes until you and your baby are both completely comfortable in it
together.
• Frequently look under the hood and check on baby.
