Settings - facing parent
For carrying a newborn baby, place the baby facing you.
The neck support should be up to the baby’s earlobes.
Make sure the child always has free airways in the baby
carrier.
For a baby that weighs between 3.2
and 4.5 kg you can place the baby’s
leg inside the carrier in a natural fetal
position.

Settings - back carrying
When back carrying, your baby should be placed facing you
The baby should be placed high up on your body. Make sure you can have
eye contact with your child by looking over your shoulder.
Settings - forward facing
You can carry facing forward from around 5 months of age, or when the child has
good neck and upper body stability.
Adjust the baby’s sitting position by tilting the baby’s hips forward. Put your hands
under their knees and gently tilt the hips to provide a deeper sitting position.
Always have the neck support folded down when carrying forward facing.
