Izmi® carriers are incredibly adjustable to fit bigger babies and toddlers, and parents
of almost every shape and size. A good fit for parent and toddler will ensure the
best support and comfort while using your Izmi® Toddler Carrier.
For further support please visit our website www.izmibaby.co.uk
2. Adjusting the shoulder straps:
Izmi®Toddler Carriers can be worn with the
shoulder straps sitting on top of your shoulders,
or with the fabric spread out over your
shoulders to distribute the weight more widely.
For a snugger, more supportive fit for smaller
parents, use the Shoulder Strap Length Adjusters
to shorten the straps to suit you.
There are 2 variations of wearing the shoulder
straps for front carrying positions; see page 7
for further details.
Izmi®Toddler Carriers come with a removable
Sternum Strap. You need to attach the Sternum
Strap for use with the Front Carry Variation, and
for Back Carries. The Sternum Strap may be
detached when not needed.
1. Adjusting the seat width:
Lay the carrier flat and face down. Open the
hidden pocket in the waistband to reveal the
hook-loop width adjustment system. Position
the tabs of the carrier seat to fit your baby’s
size. Be sure to insert the tabs fully into the
waistband. Close the pocket and press firmly
to secure.

Safety & Positioning for all Carrying Positions
Important Information: Please read this instruction manual carefully before you use your Izmi®
Toddler Carrier. Always ensure that all safety advice is followed and seek advice from a health
professional and/or babywearing consultant if you are at all unsure about carrier suitability or your
baby’s safety. More information, advice and videos can be found on our website www.izmibaby.co.uk
To ensure the safety of a baby in a wrap or carrier, always check that the baby’s:
Airways are protected and unobstructed
No fabric covering face. Face and nose visible at all times. Chin is not pressing into their chest.



Positioning and Comfort:
Good positioning of your child in your Izmi®Toddler Carrier will make it easier and more
comfortable to use. Ensure that all straps are tightened to hold your baby’s weight snugly against
your body. If your baby can lean away from you or is held too low then carrying will quickly become
tiring and uncomfortable. Be aware that all children are different, and react differently when carried
in different positions.
Carrying Height:
Position your baby at the height that you naturally hold them in your arms, and so that you can
easily kiss their head. This will help ensure that your baby’s weight is supported with minimum strain
and maximum support.
Healthy Hip Positioning:
Position your baby with their legs hugging around your body in a natural ‘spread squat’; knees higher
than hips/bottom and feet lower than knees. Benefits of this position include:
•Recommended for healthy hip development
•Supports good positioning for your baby’s pelvis and spine
•Improves ergonomic weight distribution for you, making carrying more comfortable
Spine and Pelvis Positioning:
Adjust your carrier to support baby’s spine in its natural ‘J’ shaped curve to prevent slumping. Tilt
your baby’s pelvis up towards your body; this pelvic tilt helps to relax your baby’s spine and will lift
their knees up into their natural, hip healthy position.
Breastfeeding in your Izmi®Toddler Carrier:
Your Izmi®Toddler Carrier may be used as an aid to breastfeeding, provided all safety measures
above are followed. To protect the baby’s airways ensure that no fabric covers their head or face and
that they can breathe freely through their nose at all times. Support their head with your hand or
arm as needed. Monitor your baby at all times while feeding, and return them to an upright position
as soon as they have finished.
Carrying Multiples or Siblings aged 9+ Months:
You may use two Izmi®Toddler Carriers to carry two babies with one baby on the front, and one on
the back. Ensure that any baby carried on your back is able to sit unaided, and ask another adult to
help you when practising.
Head is supported
Head supported in line with spine. Head remains stable as you move around. Give additional
support as needed for sleeping.
Spine is supported
Carrier is adjusted to prevent your baby from slumping and to give you a snug, comfortable fit.
For babies who can sit unaided, ensure that the carrier supports up to their armpits (higher if
preferred).
