FIRST USE:

The first time you use the baby carrier, it is recommended that you adjust the seat using a drawstring N. Place the baby carrier on a flat surface, place the child inside it and adjust the drawstring as appropriate (fig. 1).

FRONT TRANSPORT – PARENT FACING
WARNING: Always fit the baby carrier onto your shoulders before putting your child in.
HOW TO WEAR THE BABY CARRIER
Fasten belly belt F (Figure 2A) and adjust the width acting on buckle G (Figure 2B).

WARNING: fasten the buckle by passing it inside the H elastic band (Figure 2C).

HOW TO PLACE THE CHILD INSIDE THE BABY CARRIER
WARNING: We recommend placing the child into the baby carrier when seated or using a flat, level surface so that you are able to control any sudden movements of the child.
WARNING: Before fitting the child in the baby carrier, make sure that you have completed the previous steps correctly.
WARNING: Hold your child safely while carrying out this operation.
Pick up and place the child between the panel and padded saddle E (fig. 3A ), then fasten the buckles that adjust saddle bag I and hold the legs in place (fig. 3B)
Adjust the leg opening according to the child’s size using the bands with buckles I (fig. 4).

Note: The minimal size of the leg hole is set by adjusting the buckle up to the grey mark sewed onto the strap
WARNING: Make sure that the child’s legs are astride the seat and inserted inside the padded saddle.
WARNING: Once the child is placed in the baby carrier, adjust buckles I in the most suitable position according to the child’s size, so that the padded saddle won’t be too large or too tight.
HOW TO FASTEN THE BABY CARRIER
Lengthening the shoulder straps before wearing the baby carrier will make this step easier.
Place one of the shoulder straps on your shoulder, in such a way that it falls behind your back (fig. 5A) then, using the opposite hand, grasp double adjustment buckle J and fasten it on the opposite side (fig. 5B). Do the same for the other shoulder strap.
To adjust the shoulder straps, pull the armhole straps of the double-adjustment J buckles. It is advisable to proceed by first pulling the strap forward and fastening the safety elastic to the buckle (fig. 6). For further adjustment act on the rear strap (fig.7)

HOW TO ADJUST THE BABY CARRIER
The baby carrier is designed to fit parents of all sizes and children at all stages of their growth.
The double adjustment buckles J allows to adjust the size of the baby carrier by adapting it to the child’s size (fig. 6 – 7), as well as the shoulder straps’ length.
The drawstring N positioned in the lower part of the baby carrier allows you to adjust the width of the seat according to your child’s size and to ensure optimal support and the correct position of the legs. (fig. 8).
The buckles O on either side of the front panel allow the length of the panel to be adjusted to the child’s actual height (fig. 9). Always ensure that your children have sufficient space around their face so they can breathe properly

HOOD FUNCTIONS
The hood can be fastened at two different heights:
When it is not being used as a hood, it can be fastened to the lower slots. To make it more compact, have the button pass under the shoulder strap and fasten it from the outside to provide additional support for the baby’s neck (fig. 10).
When fastened to the upper buttonholes, the hood protects the child from the sun and during sleep. When using it, fastening only one button is recommended, so as to guarantee the appropriate privacy while maintaining visual contact with the child (fig. 11).

WARNING: Always ensure that your children have sufficient space around their face so they can breathe properly.
HOW TO REMOVE THE CHILD FROM THE BABY CARRIER
WARNING: it is advisable to sit down while carrying out these operations.
Firmly hold the child, unfasten the buckles of both shoulder straps and bring them forward (fig. 12)
Unfasten the buckles that keep the legs in place (fig. 13) before taking the child out.
