Oscha Cairis Front Carry

Make sure you and your baby are feeling calm, content and happy 
before trying your carrier the first few times. Take your time to practice 
and allow your baby time to get used to being in the carrier. You 
could also practice using a teddy or doll, and checking in the mirror 

is useful.

The first few times your baby is in the sling, it is a 
good idea to take a walk to allow them to settle and 
get used to it.

When trying out back carries initially it is recommended 
to practice over a bed or another soft surface and 
also to have someone with you to help.

Here are some key points to remember:

1.  Your baby should be in a spread-squat or ‘M’ 
position, with her knees at the same height or higher 
than her bottom/hips, to provide optimal positioning 
for knee and hip joints.

2.   You should be able to kiss the top of your baby’s 
head when she is on your front; if she is too low it 
may strain your back.

3.  Ensure the carrier is tightened enough so that baby’s back is supported so they do 
not slump or curl into a ball.  Untie and re-tighten if you feel your baby is leaning too far 
away from your body or has slumped down 
in the carrier.

4.  Make sure baby’s face is not pressed in to 
your chest; you can gently turn their head to 
the side so their cheek rests against your chest 
should they fall asleep.

5.  If you wish to breastfeed your child in the 
Cairis you can lower them down slightly in the 
carrier. Remember to ensure a good air supply 
at all times with no fabric over the head and 
that their chin is not resting on their chest (check 
you can fit two fingers between chin and chest 
if you are unsure). Also check that baby’s head 
is supported and is aligned with their spine 
and only turned slightly to one side if needed. 
Ensure that a baby who has finished feeding 
or has fallen asleep is returned to the most 
optimal upright position to keep their airway 
supported and open.
