The child’s chin should never rest on the parent’s chest because it leads to partial closure of child’s respiratory tract. The carrier user must always make sure the child’s respiratory tract is unhindered and the child breathes properly. Place the child in the carrier properly and pay attention to proper position of legs. Regularly check the child’s position so that you are sure it is correct – in the center of the carrier, with broadly separated legs and straight head which does not fall down or sideways. It is necessary to monitor child’s hands, legs and feet on a regular basis to be sure they are not squeezed by the carrier. To avoid child’s injuries when learning how to place it in the carrier, it is necessary to take relevant actions on the bed or other soft surface with the assistance of another adult. When possible, always put the carrier on and off near a safe surface and in the safe place.Pay special attention when you carry the child on the back. The carrier must not be used by a person with health issues which may affect safe use of the product. If the carrier user feels shoulder ache, backache or neck ache, he/she should stop using the product and consult a doctor.

protect the shoulder belts against dirt and child’s saliva. The cotton guards
can be easily removed and washed. Fasten them in the lower area of shoulder
belts (near child’s head). The snap fasteners should be on the external side
of the shoulder belts so that they do not irritate the child’s skin.
