Lift your child up close to your body making sure to support your
baby’s head and back. Position the Infant Insert
with your
baby’s knees at your belly; with the Bottom Cushion at approximately
the height of your belly button. The Bottom Cushion should be resting
on the inner edge of the waist belt. (Fig. 3)
5.
With one hand, hold your baby in
the Infant Insert close to your
body. With your free hand put on one
of the shoulder straps and pull up the
baby carrier. (Fig. 4)
6.
Switch hands to hold your child and
put on the other strap. (Fig. 5)
7.
With both shoulder straps in place,
bring both hands behind your neck
to fasten the chest strap and adjust it
according to your comfort. (Fig. 6)

With one hand supporting
your baby’s back, slightly tighten
one shoulder strap by pulling the
nylon strap
towards your baby.
(Fig. 7) Switch hands to tighten the
other shoulder strap. Make sure the
shoulder straps are not too tight so
that you have enough room to adjust
your baby’s position; later, however, the
shoulder straps should be tight enough
so that you feel your baby is secure
against your body.

The legs and feet also need to be observed. With a newborn,
the feet will be together. However, over time, the legs will gradually
and naturally open into a spread position. As this happens you
can reach in and gently place the legs into a spread position. Be
sure to check that the legs and feet are not constricted in any way
by the carrier.
Check often for correct positioning, the way you use the
Infant Insert
changes as the baby develops.
12.
When using the optional closure strap, it may become apparent
that it is too restrictive or uncomfortable for your infant. Simply reach
your hand inside the carrier, unsnap the closure strap and gently pull
it down to the side with the other hand.
9.
It is important at this point to carefully check your baby’s
position. Slide your hands into both sides of the Infant Insert
, under the baby’s bottom area, and
give a slight lift
and tilt in a forward rotation toward your body.
You can also
pull the upper top edge of the carrier a little upward so your
child is located further into the pouch of the carrier.
It is ex-
tremely important to avoid any slouching position.

You can also fold the top rounded edge of the Infant Insert
outward to provide more padded support to stabilize your
baby’s head. (Fig. 9)
