This document provides instructions for the Tuc Tuc Hip Seat Baby Carrier, a product designed to safely carry infants and toddlers. The carrier complies with the European safety regulation EN 13209-2:2015 and is identified by product codes 04789 and 06826.
Function Description:
The Tuc Tuc Hip Seat Baby Carrier is designed to facilitate the transport of babies and toddlers by distributing their weight across the caregiver's body, reducing strain on the arms. It offers multiple carrying positions to adapt to the child's developmental stage and the caregiver's comfort. The carrier features a hip seat that provides a stable base for the child, and adjustable straps to secure both the child and the carrier to the adult. For infants who cannot yet hold their head upright, a textile insert is provided to offer additional head and neck support.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Age Range: Suitable for use from 0 to 36 months. However, it is recommended to use when the baby can sit upright unassisted (typically from 6 months).
- Maximum Weight: 19.6 kg. The product should not be used if the baby exceeds this weight limit.
- Safety Standard: Complies with EN 13209-2:2015.
Usage Features:
The carrier offers four main modes of use:
-
At the Front (Facing Inwards):
- Setup: Attach the clip, turn the carrier forwards, adjust the belt securely around the waist.
- Placement: Place the baby on the seat.
- Securing: Pass the belts over the baby's shoulders, connect the back fastener, and adjust the belts to fit the baby's body snugly.
- Infant Support (for babies without neck strength): If the baby cannot hold their head upright, attach the textile insert. This insert has two snap-shut fasteners that connect to the carrier's fasteners and two rubber strips that insert into the clasps. This ensures the baby's head is held gently but firmly against the adult's body, with the chin raised away from the sternum to prevent asphyxiation.
-
At the Front (Facing Forwards - 6+ Months Old):
- Setup: Similar to the facing inwards position: attach the clip, turn the carrier forwards, adjust the belt securely around the waist.
- Placement: Place the baby on the seat.
- Securing: Pass the belts over the baby's shoulders, connect the back fastener, and adjust the belts to fit the baby's body. This position is suitable for babies who can sit upright and have sufficient neck strength.
-
At the Rear:
- Setup: Attach the clip, turn the carrier forwards, adjust the belt securely around the waist.
- Placement: Place the baby on the seat with the assistance of another person.
- Securing: Pass the belts over the baby's shoulders, connect the front fastener, and adjust the belts to fit the baby's body.
-
Multiple Positions (Support Base/Hip Seat Only):
- Function: In this mode, the carrier primarily acts as an additional support for the caregiver's arms, not a complete replacement.
- Setup: Attach the clip, turn the carrier forwards, adjust the belt securely around the waist.
- Placement: Place the baby on the seat in the most comfortable position.
- Folding the Base: To fold the base for storage or when not in use, press the buttons located on the upper sides of the base. Once the mechanism is disengaged, push the base downwards.
