Carrier - PARTS LIST 1 Newborn 0-5 months: Seated Position Facing You. Minimum 8 lbs. / 3.5 kgs.

Wrap the Waist Strap around your waist and feed the Waist Strap Buckle through the Waist Strap Loop.
To adjust how high or low you are carrying your baby, position the waist strap up higher around your waist or lower on your hips. You should be able to easily kiss the top of your baby’s head.
Buckle the Waist Strap Buckle, and tighten the Strap until it is comfortably snug.
If your Waist Strap has extra length, roll the extra webbing to the desired length and use the elastic loops to hold the rolled-up webbing.
Make sure the Seated Position Gussets are closed in the Seated Position. To close the black mesh gussets, lift the tab of the buckle up and pull on the strap until the mesh is completely cinched.
Lift and hold your baby up to your chest facing you, making sure to support their head and neck, and use one hand to lift the Back Strap over your head until it is behind your neck.
Reach around the front of the carrier to buckle the Side Buckle. Be sure to hold your child close to you. Repeat for the other Side Buckle. Tighten both Side Straps until they are comfortably snug for you and your baby.

a. For newborns, your baby should be in a fetal position with their feet together, knees spread slightly, and knees level with their belly button.
CAUTION: Do not pull your baby’s legs to a straight position. Your baby will start to naturally straighten their legs over the ﬁrst 10+ weeks. As your baby grows, their hip joints should naturally and gradually loosen, allowing their feet to spread into a seated position where the knees drop lower to be level with their hips. b. For babies whose legs and hips naturally fall or spread apart to the side, their thighs should be supported by the fabric of the carrier.
Until your child has head and neck control (generally around 4 months), make sure the Head Support Buckles are buckled to the Shoulder Straps, with the Head Support in the Up position.

Check your baby often and make sure they are centered in the carrier, their thighs are in a supported position, and their head is upright (and not resting on their chest). Proper head placement, with at least two ﬁngerswidth clearance under your baby’s chin, will avoid airway constriction and allow your baby to breathe properly.
