B. In picture A, you
can see that the two
bands are spread out
correctly. In this picture
you see how it should
NOT
be done.
Make sure that the two bands of
the Tri-Cotti
®
are nicely spread out
right into the back of your baby’s
knees and check this from time to
time. By doing this, you provide
your baby with a so-called ‘broad
base’, which ensures that her back
is not burdened at all and that she is
lying completely relaxed against
you. When a baby only has a
narrow point of support, she hangs
straight down and basically has to
carry her own weight.
A. For an ideal distribution
of weight over your upper
body, the cross on your
back has to be as low as
possible. Always pull the
cross down on your back
and repeat this from time
to time.
GENERAL TIPS
RIGHT
WRONG
If you feel you have bought a Tri-Cotti
®
that is too big, we advise you to take
in the bands. To do so, fold in the
fabric some inches and stitch the
entire length twice.
If both parents use the same Tri-Cotti
®
,
the sling may appear ‘loose’ over
time. If this is the case, washing the
sling will return it to its original size.
Tips!
Your own good judgement is the
best way to avoid accidents when
carrying your baby. Here are a few
more tips and warnings:
• When carrying a baby younger
than 4 months, always use the fabric
to support baby’s head. When you
see this pictogram in the manual, it
means that the position indicted is
suitable for babies under 4 months.
• Do not dress yourself or your baby
too warmly, as the baby carrier is
also a layer and your bodies also
give off warmth.
• Remember that you take up more
space when you carry your baby, and
watch out when passing through
small doorways or under low ceilings
and doors.
Warning!
• Take care when bending or
leaning forward. Your balance
may be adversely affected by your
movements and that of your child.
• This carrier is not suitable for use
during sporting activities.
• Make sure baby’s face and nose
are not covered with fabric - risk of
suffocation!
• Make sure baby’s chin does not
touch his chest.
• Make sure to properly support
baby’s head.
• Regularly check the position of
the bands to make sure your baby
is comfortably and safely installed,
without being constrained in his
movements.
• Regularly check your Tri-Cotti
®
and
do not use it if you notice any defect.
• Always be careful when cooking,
as your baby could easily be burned
or could grab a dangerous object.
