PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF MĀLAMA BEBE
CARRIER:
Read all instructions before assembling and using the soft
carrier. Only use this baby carrier for infants between 7 to
35 lbs and over 20 inches tall. Putting on your carrier
before using it. Never unbuckle the waist belt while the
baby is in the carrier. Be aware that as the baby becomes
more active, the child has more risk of falling out of the
carrier. Only carry one child at a time in the baby carrier.
Baby’s chin should NEVER rest on baby’s chest because
this partially closes baby’s airway. There should always be
at least two fingers width clearance beneath baby’s chin.
Wearer must be sure that baby’s airway is clear, and that
baby is ALWAYS breathing normally. Premature infants,
infants with respiratory problems, and infants under 4
months are at greatest risk of suffocation. Ensure proper
placement of baby in product including leg placement.
The baby’s position should be checked regularly to make
sure that the baby is comfortable and properly seated in
the carrier, centered with legs extended and head upright
and not slumping downward or to the side. Baby’s arms,
legs and feet need to be observed regularly while in the
carrier to ensure that they are not constricted by the
carrier. The carrier must be worn in such a way that a
baby can move his head without pressing his face onto
your body. Ensure that baby’s fingers are not caught in a
buckle opening or gap as this may cause injury to the baby.
Always fasten the buckles properly when the carrier is not
in use. Keep the carrier away from children when it is not
in use. The face of the child shall be close to the wearer’s
face when in an inward facing position. Check to assure all
buckles, snaps, straps, and adjustments are secure before
each use. Regularly inspect the carrier for any sign of wear
and damage. Never use a carrier when damaged in any
way. Check for ripped seams, torn straps or fabrics and
damaged fasteners before each use. Regularly check straps
and buckles while in use to make sure they have proper
tension and placement. Do not switch between carrier
positions with your baby in the carrier. Take the baby out
of the carrier before changing the position of the carrier.
To avoid injury when learning to place the baby in the
carrier, do so over cushioned surface with the assistance of
another adult. Whenever possible, wear and remove the
carrier close to a safe receiving surface for baby and in a
safe place.
