• Allow room for head movement.
• Keep the baby’s face free from obstructions at all times.

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 concerning 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 adults with long torsos, wear the Carrier waistbelt higher on the body so the 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 the baby demonstrates strong and consistent head and neck control. Check to ensure 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 the baby and in a safe place. There should always be at least two fingers width clearance before the 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 Contact the Ergobaby customer service representative for additional assistance if needed.
