HELPFUL HINTS

• Sit down when putting in and taking out your baby. When using the
Baby Carrier the fi rst few times limit the use of the Baby Carrier to
15 – 20 minutes at a time until both baby and parent are comfortable.

• When you take the Baby Carrier off, leave one side completely attached.
This way you will only have to connect one Sliding Buckle Clip before
putting your baby in the Baby Carrier. It doesn’t get any easier!

• To minimize the stress on your back, be sure to wear the Baby Carrier
high up on your chest. Your baby is in the correct position when you
can kiss the top of the baby’s head by just looking down.

• To nurse in privacy, sit comfortably, loosen the Straps and slide one
Strap off your shoulder. Have your hands supporting the child and the
Baby Carrier at all times. Be sure to tighten the Straps again before
standing up.

• If your Baby Carrier feels too tight for your baby:

1. Make sure that the Sliding Buckle is in the correct position
for your baby’s size.

2. Increase the length of the Straps by adjusting the Strap Buckles.
This will allow more space for you and your baby.

• When your baby has outgrown the Baby Carrier, move the Sliding Buckle
to the highest position, so that you are prepared for the next infant using
the Baby Carrier. Store this Owners Manual with the Baby Carrier.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Machine wash separately in warm water, mild detergent, gentle cycle,
and drip dry (no dryer). Do not use chlorine bleach or fabric softener. Iron
only at low temperature and never iron trim. Improper care will void any
and all warranties.
