WARNING : FALL AND SUFFOCATION HAZARD FALL HAZARD – Babies can fall through a wide leg opening or out of carrier.

Adjust leg openings to fit baby’s legs snugly.
Before each use, make sure all fasteners are secure.
Take special care when leaning or walking.
Never bend at waist; bend at knees.
Only use this Carrier for babies between 7 lbs (3.2 kg) and 45 lbs (20.4kg). SUFFOCATION HAZARD – Babies under 4 months can suffocate in this product if face is pressed tight against your body.
Do not strap baby too tight against your body.
Allow room for head movement.
Keep baby’s face free from obstructions at all times.
If you nurse your baby in Carrier, always reposition after feeding so baby’s face is not pressed against your body.
WARNINGS:
IMPORTANT! Strings can cause strangulation. Only use the pacifier loop(s) with a pacifier holder that has a short cord or strap. Do not attach additional cords or straps and monitor baby closely during use.
To prevent hazards from falling, ensure that your child is securely positioned in the Carrier.
Constantly monitor your child and ensure that the mouth and nose are unobstructed.
For pre-term, low birthweight babies and children with medical conditions, seek advice from a health professional before using this product.
Ensure that your child’s chin is not resting on its chest as its breathing may be restricted, which could lead to suffocation.
Your balance may be adversely affected by your movement and that of your child.
Take care when bending or leaning forward or sideways.
This Carrier is not suitable for use during sporting activities, eg. running, cycling, swimming and skiing.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF ERGOBABY™ CARRIER:
Read all instructions before assembling and using the Carrier. The Carrier should not be used unless and until the wearer understands the instructions and safety features and is confident and comfortable with respect to the use of the Carrier. Never leave baby unattended in or with the Ergobaby™ Carrier. Keep the Carrier away from children when it is not in use. For smaller babies or for adults with long torso, wear the Carrier waistbelt higher on body so baby’s head is positioned close enough to kiss. Premature infants, infants with respiratory problems, and infants under 4 months are at greatest risk of suffocation. Ensure proper placement of baby in product including leg placement. Your baby’s head should be supported by the head and neck support panel until baby demonstrates strong and consistent head and neck control. Check to assure all buckles, snaps, straps and adjustments are secure before each use. Never use a soft carrier while engaging in activities such as cooking and cleaning which involve a heat source or exposure to chemicals. Never use a soft carrier when balance or mobility is impaired because of exercise, drowsiness, or medical conditions. The baby’s position should be checked regularly to make sure that the baby is properly seated in the Carrier, centered with legs in a spread-squat position and head upright and not slumping downward or to the side. Take particular care when a baby is carried in a back carry position. To avoid injury when learning to place the baby 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 baby and in a safe place. There should always be at least two fingers width clearance before baby’s chin in the facing-out position. Baby’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 baby becomes more active, the child has more risk of falling out of the Carrier. Never use/wear more than one Carrier at a time. Take the baby out of the Carrier before changing the position of the Carrier. Regularly inspect the Carrier for any sign of wear and damage. Check 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 carry one child at a time in the baby Carrier. Never wear a soft carrier while driving or being a passenger in a vehicle. Be careful when drinking hot beverages to avoid spilling hot drinks onto the baby while using the Carrier. Never unbuckle the waistbelt while the baby 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. 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 its use and consult a qualified medical professional. The references to ages by month are only general guidelines and each baby’s development is different. Please check that your baby meets the specific requirements for use.
