To Use the Carrier
with Baby Facing Out
To Use the Outer Cover
(on certain models)
Do not use carrier with baby facing outward
or on back until baby can easily support head.
Step 1.
Fasten the snaps at the very
bottom of the cover to the
outermost snap on the waist
support. For a smaller baby,
fasten the next set of snaps
as well.
The main difference in this
position is that the top tab threads
differently through the top ring to
keep the top of the carrier folded
down. See illustration at right.
Follow steps 1-4 above until the
carrier is opened out onto your lap.
Place the baby sitting up on your
lap, facing away from you.
Step 5.
Thread the bottom tabs through the bottom rings,
buckle them (listen for a click) and pull the straps snug.
Step 6.
Fold the top of the carrier down as shown.
Thread both top tabs through the narrow top rings from
the outside in. Fasten the snaps securely.
Step 2.
Wrap the cover up over your
baby. Thread the tabs at the
top of the cover through the
top rings of the carrier and
snap it back onto itself on
both sides.

Step 4.
To Use the Carrier
with Baby on your Back
Have your helper gently
lower your baby into
the seat of the carrier,
making sure that baby’s
feet go through the
bottom openings,
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

below the buckles.
Step 1.
It may help for you to
reach up and help guide
baby’s feet through the
openings.
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.
Step 5.
Have your helper snap
the top tab securely in
the most comfortable
position for your baby.
Check that waist strap
and BOTH shoulder straps
are buckled.
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.
Do not cross straps when
carrying your baby on
your back.
Step 2.
That is okay.
Adjust the upper strap as
desired. It can be tightened
and/or moved up and down.
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.
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.
