*The InnityTM Carrier is actually ve products in one: you can “wear” it as
a baby carrier in three different positions, and you can use it to secure
your child into a shopping cart or a dining room chair.
* Changing from one use to another is quite simple. You can carry the
child in the carrier and quickly convert it to use in a shopping cart or on
an upright chair, without removing the baby from the carrier.
* Wearing the carrier high up on your chest (or back) will minimize the
stress to your back.
1. Facing-in position - Baby facing toward you:
* Keep baby in the “face-in” position until they are able to hold their head
upright. This position is great for bonding as it keeps baby in direct
contact with you and close to your heart. In this position, you’ll be able
to easily interact and engage with baby while also enjoying the hands
free convenience of your new carrier.
* Getting baby in and out of carrier can be a bit easier if you do so
while seated. Until you become more familiar with your carrier, we
recommend preparing for use over a soft surface.
* In the Facing-in position only - The Bib/Hood (included with your carrier),
can be used to protect your clothing (bib) or to protect your baby from
the weather (hood).
* A handy storage pocket located on the front of the carrier is perfect to
store the bib/hood when it is not in use.
2. Facing-out position - Baby facing away from you:
*Once your baby is able to hold his/her head up, your child is ready for
a new adventure. This position allows the child to visually explore their
surroundings while maintaining close contact with you.
* How do you know if your baby is riding at the right height in the front?
- You should be able to tilt your head forward and kiss the top of your
child’s head.

Helpful Hints:
3. Backpack Position - Baby facing towards you:
* When your little one can fully sit up on his/her own, putting them on your
back allows you to carry your baby comfortably for longer periods of
time. In this position your baby is free to check out what is going on
around them and still know that you are right there.
* First time users should be assisted by another person until they are
comfortable tting the carrier on their own.
4 & 5. Shopping Carts and Upright Chairs
* When your baby is able to sit upright on his/her own, this carrier will turn
an upright chair into a secure seat for your baby, or any shopping cart
into a more comfortable environment.
* When you are nished shopping (or eating), you can quickly and easily
switch to carrying the baby, without removing the baby from the carrier.

On a safe, level, non-elevated surface, lay out
the carrier body with the “storage pocket” side
down and the “head support area”
pointing up.
* Your baby must face toward you until he/she can hold their head upright, to
avoid possible neck or back injury. Since there is very little material between you
and your baby, it affords him or her lots of close physical contact and attention,
while leaving your hands free. In this position, you can entertain and bond with
your baby by talking, touching, playing or just making eye-contact.
* Remove the “bib/hood” before setting up the carrier and stow it in the “storage
pocket.”
* Disconnect the printed “chest strap.” DO NOT use the “chest strap” for the
Facing-in position.
1.
Take one of the “shoulder straps” and thread
its padded end (from the top to the bottom)
through the “fabric channel” on the side of the
“head support area.” To ensure that the
“shoulder strap” can be connected without
a half twist in the strap, the “bib/hood
attachment snaps” on the “shoulder strap”
should be facing up. Repeat for the other
“shoulder strap.”
2.
Place your baby face up into the carrier by
carefully sliding his/her legs through the
“leg openings”, ensuring that your baby’s
head is lying on the “head support area.”
