Setting up your Zensling

in to narrow the seat.
Shorten the carrier
using the adjusters at
the bottom, this is to
get a fit good at around
baby’s legs.
Reduce the height
of the carriers so
that the top sits at
the nape of baby’s
neck.
Lay the carrier on a
flat and safe surface
then
place baby in the
middle of the carrier.

and their face
visible at all times.
Spread the shoulder

The hood can be tied
up at one side using the

strap. Use the hood
to cover the back of
baby’s head and never
the face. The hood
can also be rolled to
