The Infant Carrier can be used for a child from 7.5 lbs (3.4 kg) to 33 lbs (15 kg). With a Natural Ergonomic “M” seat position for facing-in positions. Before fitting the child in the baby carrier, make sure that you have completed the following steps correctly.

To adjust, undo the top and bottom snap buttons to fold or unfold the Adjustable Leg Supports. Re-attach both snap buttons. Make sure both sides are in the same position.
-
For the Facing-out position, you will need to fold down the Head Support fabric. Undo both snap buttons on each side. Fold down the Head Support and re-attach both snap buttons on the outside of the infant carrier.
Parent Fit and Strap Adjustments
-
Fit the Infant Carrier to your shoulders before placing the child in the Infant Carrier.
Loosen the Shoulder Strap Buckles and Back Buckle adjustment strap. Adjust the Back Buckle up or down to better fit your body and make sure that both sides are at the same level.
For Child Facing In positions, Shoulder Strap Support Buckle should be positioned high on your shoulders, making it easy to reach and buckle, and also keeping the Shoulder Straps securely positioned on your shoulders.
For Child Facing Out, the Shoulder Strap Support Buckle can be positioned lower on the Shoulder Straps for a comfortable fit across your chest.
The position of the waist belt on your body is adjustable and determined by the height of your child. -
A. Wrap the Infant Carrier Waist Belt around your waist and buckle the Waist Belt Buckle. Position the belt higher or lower so that your child’s head is just below your chin when child is inside Carrier.
B. Rotate the Infant Carrier Waist Belt around until the infant seat is at the front of your waist. Adjust both Waist Adjustment Straps to tighten the waist belt.
-
Locate the elastic loop attached to the ends of the waist belts. After proper adjustments, roll up the excess length of strap from bottom up and secure it with the elastic loop, as shown.
-
Place both Shoulder Straps onto your shoulders and buckle the Back Buckle. Pull on the adjuster strap to tighten the Shoulder Strap Support Buckle.
If the Infant Carrier does not fit properly, re-adjust the position of the Shoulder Strap Support Buckle or adjustment straps until it fits correctly.
This completes primary adjustments. You are now ready to fit the child to the carrier.
