Instructions – Forward Carry: Facing In
Forward Carry – Facing Inward
Suitable from newborn | 3.2 kg – approx. 2 years | 16 kg
Important:
Make sure the seat width is properly adjusted for your baby’s size. This can be done using the Velcro located at the bottom of the waistband.
1. Position the waistband so that the panel is centered at the front of your body.
2. Ensure the shoulder straps are fully adjusted and the buckles are undone before you start. Lift the carrier by placing the right shoulder strap over your right shoulder.
3. Pull the right shoulder strap across your back.
4. Insert the buckle of the right shoulder strap into the buckle on the left side of the panel until it clicks.
5. Lift your baby and position them with your left hand so they are facing inward. Use your other hand to guide one of the baby’s legs between the panel and your body.
6. Use your right hand to support your baby while using your other hand to guide the baby's right leg under the strap already buckled on the side of the panel.
7. Tighten the left shoulder strap while lifting the panel behind your baby’s back and placing it over your left shoulder.
8. Pull the left shoulder strap across your back and click it into place.
9. Tighten both side straps at the same time. Make sure your baby is secure and not held too tightly against your body. Leave enough space for your baby to move their head freely.
10. Ensure your baby’s bottom is deeply seated in the panel, just above the waistband. Your baby should be in the “M” position.
“M” Position
The “M” position is the ergonomically correct posture for carrying, with knees higher than the hips and weight distributed properly.
Safe Carrying: 5 Essential Checks
-
Tight and Secure
The carrier should be snug and supportive, not too loose or too tight. Tighten the straps well to prevent your baby from slumping, which could restrict their breathing. -
Always in View
You should always be able to see your baby’s face just by glancing down. Never cover your baby in a way that you have to open the carrier to see their face. -
Close Enough to Kiss
Your baby’s head should be as close to your chin as comfortably possible. You should be able to easily kiss the top of your baby’s head or forehead. -
Chin Off Chest
Your baby should never be curled up so tightly that their chin is forced onto their chest, as this can restrict the airway. Make sure there’s always at least a finger-width of space under the chin. -
Support the Back
In all positions, your baby’s back should be supported in a natural C-curve. The baby should not be slumping, arching backward, or have too much space between their body and the carrier.
Babies under 4 months of age may suffocate in this product if their face is pressed tightly against your body. Please note:
- Not too tight: Ensure enough space for free breathing.
- Head free: Your baby should be able to move their head freely.
- Face visible: The nose and mouth must not be covered.
Then your baby may be too small or not yet ready to be carried in this carrier. Wait until your baby is big enough or consult a babywearing expert for advice.
