Munchkin Baby Carrier manual Finding the right fit

Finding the right fit

You will want the sling to fit snugly but feel comfortable. If you put your baby in the sling and it feels too tight, you need a larger size. If the sling is too loose and baby doesn’t feel secure then you need a smaller size.

With baby inside the sling, the baby should sit in line with your hip bones or above. The bottom of the pouch should be somewhere around your belly button. If it’s much lower than this, your sling is too big.

The fit around the baby should be snug and create a womb-like feeling. The baby may look squished but as long as you and the baby are comfortable then you have the right size.

See illustration below for a guide to where the sling should lay. Please remember this is a guideline.

Navel Area

• Good Fit

• Too Low

(Sling is too big)

For the cradle, front carry and tummy to tummy positions, the built-in padding should be worn on the outside facing away from your body. For the hip and back carry, built-in padding should be on the inside.

Please note, no matter which position you are using, your baby’s bottom should always rest on the seam, which is curved to create a deep seat. For the front cradle and upright positions, the seam should be just off center from your belly button, about halfway between your belly button and hip bone. For the hip carry position the seam should be at your hip.
