The Infantino Upscale Customizable Carrier is a versatile and comfortable baby carrier designed to safely transport infants and toddlers. It offers multiple carrying positions to accommodate babies at different developmental stages, ensuring both the baby's comfort and the wearer's ease of use.
The primary function of the Infantino Upscale Customizable Carrier is to provide a secure and ergonomic way to carry a baby, allowing the wearer to maintain hands-free mobility while keeping the baby close. It is designed to distribute the baby's weight evenly, reducing strain on the wearer's back and shoulders. The carrier features adjustable components to ensure a snug and safe fit for babies of varying sizes and to adapt to different carrying positions.
The carrier supports four main carrying positions: Facing-In with Narrow Seat, Facing-In with Wide Seat, Facing-Out with Narrow Seat, and Backpack with Wide Seat. Each position is tailored to specific age and developmental milestones of the baby.
Facing-In with Narrow Seat: This position is recommended for infants weighing 8 lbs to 15 lbs. It is ideal until the child can hold their head upright independently. In this position, the baby faces the wearer, allowing for close bonding and easy monitoring. The narrow seat ensures a proper ergonomic position for smaller infants, with leg openings adjusted to fit snugly to prevent falls. The Head Support Loops are fastened around the Head Support Buttons to provide crucial head and neck support. The wearer places the Waist Belt at their natural waist, ensuring a firm fit without any gaps. Shoulder Straps are placed over the shoulders, and the Back/Chest Buckle is connected behind the back. The Shoulder Strap Adjusters are used to raise the baby to a "kissable" height, where the wearer can easily tilt their head forward and kiss the top of the baby's head. Leg Bands are fastened to the Leg Band Buttons for babies between 8-11 lbs to further secure the leg openings.
Facing-In with Wide Seat: This position is suitable for babies weighing 15 lbs to 40 lbs. It is used once the baby can hold their head upright on their own. The wide seat allows for a more comfortable, seated position for larger babies, with their legs wrapping around the wearer. This position provides better weight distribution for the wearer. Similar to the narrow seat, the Waist Belt is worn at the natural waist, and Shoulder Straps are adjusted for comfort and proper baby height. The Head Support Loops are fastened to the Head Support Buttons, but the Head Support can be lowered if the baby has sufficient head control. The Leg Bands are folded down onto the Waist Belt, as they are not necessary for babies over 11 lbs in this position.
Facing-Out with Narrow Seat: This position is designed for older babies with head control, allowing them to visually explore their surroundings while maintaining close contact with the wearer. It is crucial that the baby has sufficient head control before being placed in this position to avoid neck or back injury. The wide seat should never be used when the baby is facing out. The carrier seat is adjusted to the narrow position by unfastening the Seat Loops from the Seat Buttons and gathering the fabric at the bottom of the Carrier Body. The Head Support Buttons are unfastened, and the Head Support is folded down and secured with the Head Support Snaps to keep it away from the baby's face. The Waist Belt and Shoulder Straps are adjusted as in other positions to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. The baby's face, nose, and mouth must always be free from obstruction.
Backpack with Wide Seat: This position is for older babies who can fully sit up on their own. It requires assistance from a second person for safe placement. The wide seat is used, and the Leg Bands are unfastened and folded down onto the Waist Belt. The Head Support Loops are fastened around the Head Support Buttons. The wearer places the Waist Belt at their natural waist, with the carrier body hanging in the back. With assistance, the baby is placed on the wearer's back, similar to a piggyback ride, with their legs wrapping around the wearer's waist and arms over the shoulders. The second person helps the wearer put on the Shoulder Straps and connect the Back/Chest Buckle. The Shoulder Strap Adjusters are then used to lift the baby to a comfortable height on the wearer's back. This position allows the baby to observe their surroundings from a different perspective while being securely carried.
Throughout all positions, the carrier emphasizes safety and proper positioning. Wearers are advised to practice using the carrier before placing the baby in it for the first time, especially with assistance for the Back Carry position. Regular checks are necessary to ensure the baby's chin is up, not pressed against their chest, and that their face, nose, and mouth are unobstructed. The carrier should fit snugly against the wearer's body, with no gaps in the Waist Belt. It is recommended to limit initial use to 10-20 minutes to allow both the wearer and baby to become comfortable.
For Facing-In and Facing-Out positions, the process involves slightly loosening the Shoulder Straps, unbuckling the Back/Chest Strap, and then removing the Shoulder Straps while continuously supporting the baby with one hand. The Waist Belt should only be unbuckled after the baby has been completely removed from the carrier. For the Back Carry position, the process is similar but requires the partner's assistance to hold the baby securely while the wearer loosens straps and removes the carrier.
The Infantino Upscale Customizable Carrier is designed for easy maintenance. It can be machine washed cold, separately, on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Bleach should not be used. Between machine washings, it can be wiped clean with a cloth or sponge. The carrier should be drip-dried and not ironed or dry-cleaned. Regular inspection for wear and tear, such as ripped seams, torn straps, or damaged fasteners, is crucial. If any deterioration or problems are detected, the product should not be used.
