WARNING: When using the carrier, constantly monitor your child.
WARNING: Ensure your child’s face is not pressed against the fabric of the carrier or

Do not use a carrier to carry more than one baby at a time.
Examine your carrier carefully before each use.
Do not use the carrier near open flames.

Babies with respiratory conditions can face additional risks. As can a baby with any
form of illness. Always be extra vigilant when using the carrier with an unwell baby.
Baby should be upright and close enough for you to kiss the top of their head.
Do not leave baby unsupervised with the carrier.
Do not use the carrier during any sporting activities.

Safety First
We recommend that you have
someone with you when practising
using any new carrier, until you feel
confident doing it by yourself.
When back carrying, please practice
over a soft surface such as a bed,
until you feel confident.
When tightening the straps, try
gently bouncing to encourage baby
to sit in the carrier.
For small babies, tie the waist straps
higher on your torso, just below your
bust.
The carrier must be tight against
your body so that when you lean,
there is no gap between you and
baby.
