How can I make sure that my baby is sitting correctly in the carrier?

Customer Service

    BACK PANEL: The back panel should reach your baby’s neck to provide head support. Always make sure your baby’s nose and mouth are free for easy breathing.

    SPREAD-SQUAT POSITION: To promote healthy hip development and ergonomics for your baby, the base of the back panel should support your baby from one knee to the other, and the knees should be slightly higher than the hips.

    CLOSE ENOUGH TO KISS: You should be able to kiss your baby on top of their head easily. If your baby is too high or too low, simply adjust the waistbelt. Carrying your baby too low might cause you back pain.

    CARRIER SNUG ENOUGH: For your baby’s safety, when you lean forward your baby should stay close to you.

    COMFORT: Make sure the straps are not twisted on your back and fan them out nicely on your shoulders for better weight distribution.
