Carry Position.
* IMPORTANT! The baby MUST be able to fully sit up on his or her own before being worn in the Back
Carry position.
* STOP! First time users, DO NOT attempt to use the carrier in the Back Carry position without the
assistance of a second adult. We highly recommend always using the assistance of a second adult.
* When using this carrier in the Back Carry position, you should fit it to the user before placing the baby in
the carrier.
* Either you or your partner should be supporting baby securely throughout the process of putting baby in
the carrier, until all the buckles and straps are properly fastened and adjusted.
* Take extra care when fastening buckles.You will hear a ‘click’ when properly secured.
* Your baby should always be comfortable. If your baby is fussy it could be an indication that he or she is
not properly positioned. If this occurs, take your baby out immediately and adjust.
