Carrier Use for an Infant: Facing-In Position
Instructions:
1
1.
Start by unfastening the two
Shoulder Buckles
and
Torso Band Buckle
. The
Head Support Buttons
should be fastened.
Hold the carrier in front of you with the
Back
Harness
facing towards you and the
Carrier Body
hanging down. Make sure the Infantino logo on the
Back Harness
is upright and facing you.
2.
Holding the tops of the
Shoulder Straps
in your
hands, duck under the
Back Harness
and place the
carrier straps over your head, like you are putting
on a shirt. The upper straps should rest on your
shoulders and make a “V” in front of you.
3.
This carrier is worn high on your body, not at your
waist. Position the
Carrier Base
just under your
chest. Find the
Shoulder Strap Ends
and pull
forward to tighten. Watch that the straps are evenly
tightened. The straps should be snug on your torso.
TIP: Positioning the carrier high on your torso will properly
position baby high on your chest.
This position is for babies 8 lbs to 25 lbs.
* Your baby should always be comfortable. If your baby is fussy it could be an indication that he or she is not
properly positioned. If this occurs, take your baby out immediately and adjust.
* We recommend having another adult assist you if this is your first time using this type of carrier.
* Baby must be carried in the facing-in position until baby is able to hold his or her head upright without assistance.
* Support baby securely throughout the process of putting baby in the carrier, until all the buckles and straps are
properly fastened and adjusted.
* When using this carrier in the facing-in position, you should fit it to the user before placing the baby in the carrier.
NOTE: The carrier parts in bold can be found on the carrier illustrations.
4.
Find the
Shoulder Buckles
hanging in front of you
and bring them up toward your shoulders. Fasten
the
Shoulder Buckles
on both sides. You will hear a
“click” when the buckle is secure.
5.
Find the
Torso Band
on either side of the
Carrier
Body
. The lighter colored fabric should be facing
towards you, and the buckle should be on the
outside of the band.
Fasten the
Torso Band Buckle
behind you. You will
hear a “click” when the buckle is secure. Make sure
the fabric band lays flat against your body without
any twists.
Adjust the
Torso Band Strap
so the band rests
lightly on your body. Do not fully tighten the strap.
The band should be slightly loose, leaving enough
room for baby’s body to fit between the
Carrier Body
and your body.
6.
Open the
Shoulder Buckles
but keep the
Torso
Band
fastened. Let the top of the carrier fold down
in front of you. A seat pocket is formed at the
Carrier
Base
.
Find the
Leg Openings
created by the
Torso Band
and
Carrier Body
. This is where your baby’s legs
will go.
