With the carrier open on one side and the baby facing
away from you, carefully slide the baby into the carrier
by fitting his/her leg through the
Leg Opening
on the
closed side of the carrier.
*
IMPORTANT! Keep one hand on the baby until all buckles and straps
are properly fastened.
*Make sure your baby’s leg goes through the
Leg Opening
on the
closed side of the carrier.

While supporting the baby with one hand, fasten the
other
Side Closure Buckle
.

Attach both
Head Support Buckles,
making sure that
the
Head Support
area remains folded down. Adjust
the size of the
Head Support
area by pulling both of the
Head Support Straps
.

To adjust how high the baby rides on your chest, lift
the baby slightly and pull the
Shoulder Strap Adjuster
,
first on one strap, then on the other. The
Shoulder
Strap Adjusters
should be equal lengths after
adjusting. When the baby is properly positioned, you
should be able to tilt your head forward and kiss the
top of your baby’s head.
*NOTE: The arms of smaller babies should be positioned below the
Head Support Buckles
. Larger babies’ arms should be above the
buckles, and rest comfortably over the folded-down
Head Support
.
*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. Baby’s chin should never rest
on baby’s chest. This can result in closing or partially closing baby’s
airway.

strap should lay in a comfortable position on your upper back.

position more comfortable (closer to the navel); shorter people
may wish to wear the belt more on the hips.
* IMPORTANT! ALWAYS ensure that the
Waist Belt
fits
securely against your body at all times without creating a gap.

Fasten the
Side Closure Buckle
