Never use a baby carrier with a premature child or one having health problems
without consulting ahealth careprofessional beforehand.
Use your judgment : the safety of your baby is your responsibility.

Frequently check that your baby's face is uncovered and that the space between his chin and his chest

Correct:vertical position, high on the wearer's chest,
chin up, face visible at all times.
Incorrect: Baby is too low, face is hidden and pressed
against the wearer's chest, obstructed mouth and nose.
In front of a mirror, practice with a doll or stuffed animal until you feel comfortable with the steps to
follow.
Choose a time when your child and yourself are rested to install her in the baby carrier.
Check before use that there are no broken seams, torn straps or fabric and that nothing is damaged.
If any damage is found, discontinue use.
Check frequently and reinstall your baby if necessary.
Never leave your baby in the baby carrier when you do not wear it on you.
Never use a baby carrier when your balance is compromised because of the exercise, drowsiness or

Important Safety
Information
To adjust the height: thread the
removable belt into
the appropriate tunnel.
To adjust the width: simply
scrunch the fabric. That's it, no
annoying drawstring or plastic
clip!
Tie your Gigotai comfortably around your
waist using a double knot.
Center your baby in the Gigotai body and
lift the panel up. ALWAYS keep at least
one hand on your baby.
Flip the straps over your shoulders.
Cross them on your back, one at a time,
taking care not to twist them. ALWAYS
keep one hand on your baby.
Pass the straps to the
front, spreading them
wide across baby’s bottom,
then under babies knees
and tie at the back with a
double knot.
Front Carry
Adjust the straps to
make a good seat for
your child:
Baby must have his
knees higher than
his buttocks and be
supported from one
knee pit to the other. Happy babywearing!
Back Carry
Tie the Gigotai belt
loosely around your
waist using a double
knot.
Center your baby in the Gigotai body and
lift the panel up. ALWAYS keep at least
one hand on your baby.
Making sure your baby is well seated in the carrier, gather
both straps in one hand, still supporting your child with the
other. One strap must pass behind you. Bend over slightly,
supporting your child's weight with your hip AND keeping
tension on both straps. Pass your arm BETWEEN you two and
gently scoot your baby on your hip. NEVER let go of the straps.
Locking a strap between your knees, spread the second one wide across baby’s bottom (it
may be useful to bend over a little). Then, pass under baby's opposite knee and do the same
with the other strap. Tie at the front with a double knot.
Adjust the straps to
make a good seat
for your child:
Baby must have his
knees higher than
his buttocks and be
supported from one
knee pit to the
other.
Happy babywearing!
(6 month old baby or older)
