Instructions - Forward Carry: Facing Out

Forward Carry - Facing Out

Suitable from 6 months onwards.

WARNING:

• Do not allow a baby to sleep in the forward-facing position.
• We recommend limiting the time your child is carried in this position to 15 minutes at a time

1. Position the waistband so that the panel is centered at the front of your body.

2. Make sure the shoulder straps are fully adjusted and the buckles are undone before you begin. 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 use your left hand to position them facing outwards. With your other hand, guide one of your baby’s legs between the panel and your body.

6. Use your right hand to support your baby while using your other hand to thread the baby's right leg under the strap already secured to the side buckle of the panel.

7. Pull the left shoulder strap while lifting the panel up behind your baby’s back and over your left shoulder.

8. Pull the left shoulder strap across your back and secure it with the buckle.

9. Tighten both side straps at the same time. Make sure your baby is comfortable and not pressed too tightly against your body. Your baby’s arms should be placed between the underarm straps and shoulder straps so they can move freely.

10. Ensure your baby’s bottom is seated deeply into the panel of the carrier, just above the waistband. The baby should be in the “M” position.

The “M” Position

The “M” position is the ergonomically correct position, where the knees are higher than the hips and the weight is distributed mainly through the baby’s thighs and bottom.
