Using your
CONNECT Wrap

CONNECT WRAP PRODUCT GUIDE
Babywearing is beneficial for both parent
and child in many ways, however it is
important that the baby carrier is used
with safety in mind.
Guidelines for
safe & ergonomic
babywearing

 REDSBABY.COM.AU
T.I.C.K.S rule
The T.I.C.K.S rule for safe
babywearing keeps your
baby close and safe.
T Tight
The carrier should be tight enough to hug your
baby close to you.
IIn view at all times
You should always be able to see your baby’s
face by simply glancing down.
CClose enough to kiss
Your baby’s head should be as close to your
chin as is comfortable.
KKeep chin o the chest
Your baby should never be curled so their chin is
forced onto their chest as this can restrict their
breathing.
SSupported back
In an upright carry a baby should be held
comfortably to the wearer so their back is
supported in its natural position ‘C’ shape and
their tummy and chest are against you. Check
your baby in the carrier frequently to monitor
your baby’s breathing and ensure your baby’s
airways are always open. The safest position is
for your baby’s face to be turned away from your
body with their chin away from their chest.

Ergonomic
positioning of your
baby in the wrap
The ‘M’ position
The healthiest position to carry your
baby, especially in the first 6 months, is to
position your baby in the wrap in the ‘M’
position.
This allows their thighs to sit around your
torso with hips bent so the knees are
slightly higher than their bottom, with
their thighs supported.
You should always check and adjust your
baby to ensure they are in this position
especially up to 6 months.

 REDSBABY.COM.AU
The ‘C’ shape
Your infant’s back should always be
naturally rounded in the ‘C’ shape. As
your baby grows, their spine strengthens
(usually between 6 to 12 months).
Positioning your baby in the ‘M’ Position
helps your baby’s spine to remain in the
‘C’ shape.
Visit redsbaby.com.au for more
information on safe baby carrying.

Assembling
your wrap
1. Loosen the back straps on both sides
and hold the wrap in front of you.
2. Place the back straps over your head
with the ‘r’ logo in the centre of your
back facing outwards. Ensure the wrap
straps are resting over your shoulders.

 REDSBABY.COM.AU
3. Cross the wrap straps over your chest
and tuck them underneath the front
panel, to form a high ‘X’ on your chest.
TIP: The higher the ‘X’, the higher on
your chest your baby will sit.
4. Tie a knot behind your waist.
