*NOTE: Wearing the carrier closer to your body and higher
up on your chest will minimize stress to your back and
shoulders from prolonged use.
*IMPORTANT: Always make sure baby’s face, nose, and
mouth are not obstructed.
Check your baby’s position regularly. Your baby should
be centered in the carrier in a seated position with arms
and legs extended and not constricted by the carrier. It
is extremely important to avoid any slouching in baby’s
position. A slouching position can restrict baby’s airways.
Baby’s head should be upright or resting on your chest with
the face, nose, and mouth positioned to the left or right.
Baby’s chin should never rest on baby’s chest. This can
result in closing or partially closing baby’s airway.
