Next place the baby inside the warming cover, with the orientation such that the hook fixing pads on the outside of the
warming cover are facing downwards, ensuring that the flaps at the front of the warming cover are then wrapped around
the baby and fixed together by use of the hook fixation pads on the inner harness, to form a cocoon around the baby,
with orientation such that the red side of the material is
against the baby’s skin.
Then place the skull cap onto
the baby’s head.
Note that using the warming cover can be omitted from use, if not required, and just use the inner harness on its own.
4. Deployment of Kangoofix (cont…)
Next step is to place the baby with the parent laid
on the trolley, baby’s face towards parent and positioned around the
upper chest of the parent, away from any trolley restraint buckles or straps.
The Kangoofix quick-release central buckle should then be fixed onto the hook fixation pad on the back of the warming
cover (or to the back of the inner harness if a warming mattress is not being used).
Ensure that the parent and baby are correctly and comfortably positioned, then start to connect the Kangoofix outer
harness straps to the central buckle located on the back of the warming mattress (inner harness).
One by one, attach the 5 Kangoofix straps to the central buckle, starting with the straps that connect to the trolley waist
straps, then from the leg strap, then shoulder straps. As each strap is attached, tighten it sufficiently such that there is no
slack in the strap, still making sure that the baby and parent are comfortable and in correct position.
You may need to re-adjust and further tighten the straps to ensure the baby is correctly positioned and each Kangoofix
strap adjusted
such that the baby “cocoon” does not move around.
Refer to the
“Kangoofix quick-guide” for photos and more details on attaching the Kangoofix straps and inner harness.
