PARENT FACING POSITION, APPROX 0-24 MONTHS
(BABY FACING TOWARDS YOU)
UNTIL YOUR CHILD IS ABLE TO HOLD THEIR HEAD UPRIGHT, THIS
IS THE CORRECT POSITION. IT AFFORDS YOUR BABY LOTS OF
CLOSE PHYSICAL CONTACT AND ATTENTION, WHILE LEAVING YOUR
HANDS FREE IN THIS POSITION. YOU CAN ENTERTAIN AND BOND
WITH YOUR NEWBORN BY TALKING, TOUCHING, PLAYING, OR JUST
MAKING EYE-CONTACT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR BABY IS AT THE RIGHT HEIGHT WHEN
WORN IN THE FRONT? YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TILT FORWARD
SLIGHTLY AND KISS THE TOP OF YOUR CHILD’S HEAD.
WORLD FACING POSITION APPROX 6-24 MONTHS
(BABY FACING AWAY FROM YOU)
ONCE YOUR CHILD IS ABLE TO HOLD THEIR HEAD UP, YOUR BABY
IS READY FOR A NEW ADVENTURE. THIS POSITION ALLOWS THEM
TO VISUALLY EXPLORE THEIR SURROUNDINGS WHILE MAINTAINING
CLOSE CONTACT WITH YOU.
WHEN PLACING YOUR BABY IN OR TAKING THEM OUT OF THE
CARRIER, SITTING DOWN WILL MAKE THE PROCEDURE EASIER.
UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE BABY, IT IS
ALSO RECOMMENDED TO DO SO OVER A SOFT SURFACE.
IT IS BEST TO LIMIT THE USE OF YOUR CARRIER TO 10-20 MINUTES
UNTIL YOU AND YOUR BABY ARE BOTH COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE
IN IT TOGETHER.
• SPOT CLEAN.
• LINE DRY.
• ALWAYS ALLOW THE FABRICS TO DRY NATURALLY AWAY FROM
STRONG HEAT SOURCES SUCH AS FIRES, RADIATORS AND OUT
OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
