How to Use the Baby Carrier: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Secure the Waist Strap

Wrap the waist strap around your hips or lower waist so the main fabric panel hangs in front. Connect the buckle and pull the strap until it fits snugly and feels balanced.

2. Position Your Baby

Hold your baby close to your chest, facing inward. Their legs should naturally fall into a wide, seated position with knees slightly higher than their bottom. Always keep one hand supporting your baby during setup.

3. Raise the Front Panel

With your free hand, lift the fabric panel up over your baby’s back and shoulders.

4. Put on the Shoulder Straps

Bring the shoulder straps across your shoulders so they form an X on your back. Clip the buckles, one after the other. Adjust the straps so they rests comfortably across your upper back.

5. Adjust for Fit

Make final adjustments to the waist strap an shoulder straps. Your baby should sit high and close to your body—close enough to kiss their forehead.

6. Perform a Quick Safety Check

• Your baby’s face should be visible, with no fabric blocking airflow.
• Their chin should be lifted, not resting on their chest.
• Legs should form an “M” shape with knees higher than the bottom.
• The carrier should be snug enough for support, without causing slouching.

Important Safety Notice

The safety of your child is our top priority. Please read and follow all safety instructions carefully before using this baby carrier.

Supervision and Medical Guidance

Always supervise your child while using the carrier. For premature infants, babies under 3 months, low birth weight infants, or children with medical conditions, consult your pediatrician before use.

Risk of Falling

Children may fall through leg openings if not properly adjusted. Always ensure leg openings are securely fitted to your baby’s size.

Confirm that all straps, buckles, and fasteners are properly secured before each use.

Only use this carrier for children weighing between 3 kg and 13 kg.

Never bend at the waist while carrying your child—bend at the knees to maintain balance and safety.

Suffocation and Choking Hazard

Ensure your child’s face is visible and unobstructed at all times.

Do not press the baby’s face tightly against your body; allow space for natural movement and breathing.

Babies under 3 months or with respiratory issues are at a higher risk—extra caution is required.

General Use and Environment Warnings

Never use the carrier during sports, exercise, or while driving or riding in any vehicle.

Do not use the carrier when cooking, cleaning, or near heat sources, flames, or hazardous substances.

Stay alert to environmental hazards such as hot liquids, sharp objects, and uneven surfaces.

Product Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect the carrier before each use for any signs of damage, including worn seams, frayed straps, or malfunctioning fasteners.

Discontinue use immediately if any part is missing, broken, or damaged.

Store the carrier out of reach of children when not in use.
