PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF TRAIL MAGIK CARRIER:
Read all instructions and watch any instructional videos provided by Trail
Magik before assembling and using the carrier.
The Carrier should not be used unless and until the wearer understands the
instructional and safety features and is confident and comfortable with
respect to the use of the carrier. Never leave a child unattended in or with
the Trail Magik Carrier.
Keep carrier away from children when it is not in use. For smaller children or
adults with a long torso, wear the carrier waistbelt higher on the body so the
child’s head is positioned close enough to kiss. Children with respiratory
problems, and undersized children are at the greatest risk of suffocation.
Ensure proper placement of a child in the product, including leg placement.
Check to assure all buckles, snaps, straps, and adjustments are secure before
each use. Never use the Carrier while engaging in activities such as cooking
and cleaning, which involve a heat source or exposure to chemicals. Never use
the Carrier when balance or mobility is impaired because of exercise,
drowsiness, or medical conditions.
The child’s position should be checked regularly to make sure that the child
is properly seated in the carrier, centered with legs in a spread-squat
position, head upright, and not slumping downward or to the side. The carrier
should only be worn on the front of the adult; do not wear the child on the
back or side hip.
To avoid injury when learning to place the child in the Carrier, do so over a
bed or other cushioned surface with the assistance of another adult. Whenever
possible, wear and remove the Carrier close to a safe receiving surface for
the child and in a safe place.
There should always be at least two fingers width clearance the child’s chin
in the facing-out position. Your child’s arms, legs, and feet need to be
checked regularly while in the Carrier to ensure that they are not
constricted. Be aware that as the child becomes more active, the child has
more risk of falling out of the Carrier and/or damaging the carrier and/or
backpack. Never use/ wear more than one carrier at a time.
Regularly inspect the carrier and backpack used for any sign of wear and
damage. Check the backpack used & carrier for ripped seams, torn straps or
fabrics, and damaged fasteners before each use. Never use a Carrier when
fabric, fastener, or buckle is damaged. Only use a backpack that is new with
strong seams, no damaged or overly worn webbing. Only carry one child at a
time in the Carrier. Never unbuckle the waist belt while the child is in the
Carrier. Always fasten the buckles properly when the Carrier
is not in use. Please choose the right materials for the child to wear. Do not
have the child’s skin rubbing on a carrier material. Check the core
temperature by touching the child’s body by hand. This carrier is only
intended for use by healthy adults. If the person using the Carrier should
develop shoulder, back, or neck problems, discontinue use and consult a
qualified medical professional. The references to ages by month are only a
general guideline, and each child’s development is different. Please check
that your child meets the specific requirements for use.
