To Use the Carrier with Baby on your Back
Do not use carrier with baby facing outward or on back until baby can easily support head.
You will need help to properly secure baby in this position.
Step 1.
Put on the carrier with the child’s pouch (snaps and buckles fastened) in back as shown. Buckle the waist and shoulder straps; adjust them until they are comfortably snug. Waist strap pocket will be in front, facing out.
Check that waist strap and BOTH shoulder straps are buckled.
Do not cross straps when carrying your baby on your back.
Step 2.
Adjust the upper strap as desired. It can be tightened and/or moved up and down.
Step 3.
Have your helper check that the bottom tabs are still securely buckled.
The top tabs should be unsnapped, but not removed from the top rings.
Step 4.
Have your helper gently lower your baby into the seat of the carrier, making sure that baby’s feet go through the bottom openings, below the buckles.
It may help for you to reach up and help guide baby’s feet through the openings.
Step 5.
Have your helper snap the top tab securely in the most comfortable position for your baby.
Baby’s arms should go through the openings beneath the tabs as long as that is comfortable. Some longer or older babies will be more comfortable with their arms over the top.
That is okay.
Step 6.
With your helper, check all buckles and snaps to make sure they are secure and adjust them for comfort (including the strap under the crotch) if necessary.
