Configurations
based on Child Age
& Weight
IMPORTANT
Child must face towards you until he
or she can hold their head upright.
Newborn Inward Facing
Configuration (page 28)
Zip on the Newborn Configuration
(Please refer to page 20 on how to
attach the Newborn Configuration).
We suggest attaching the Newborn
Configuration to the carrier for
infants weighing less than 7kg or
between 0-5 months.
TIP: The M-position
The newborn configuration helps
the baby to sit in a M-position,
where their thighs sit around
your torso with hips bent so the
knees are slightly higher than their
bottom, with their thighs supported.
The M-position is the ergonomically
correct position for babies, with
lightly spread and raised legs and
the back in a C-shape.
