WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

RISK OF FALLING OUT – Children can slip through a leg opening that is too large or fall out of the carrier.
• Adjust the leg openings so that they fit the baby's legs optimally.
• Before each use, ensure all fasteners are closed.
• Be especially careful when bending forward or walking.
• Never bend from the hips; bend your knees.
• The carrier is only designed for children between 3.2 kg and 20.4 kg.
CHOKING HAZARD – Babies younger than 4 months can suffocate in this product if their face is pressed too closely against your body.
• Do not buckle your child too tightly against your body.
• Ensure sufficient freedom of movement for the head.
• Always keep your child’s face free from any obstacles.
• If you breastfeed your child in the carrier, always turn them afterwards so that their face is not pressed against your body.
WARNING:
• Continuously supervise your child and ensure that the mouth and nose are clear while using this product.
• Consult a doctor before using this product with premature babies, children with low birth weight, or health problems.
• Ensure your child’s chin is not resting on their chest and their breathing is not restricted, which could lead to a risk of suffocation.
• To avoid the risk of falling out, make sure the child is securely positioned in the carrier.
• AS LONG AS THE BABY CANNOT HOLD THEIR HEAD UPRIGHT ON THEIR OWN, THE BABY’S FACE MUST BE TOWARDS YOU
• Use the back-carry position only when head and neck muscles are sufficiently developed and the child shows strong and steady control of head and neck.
• Never use the storage pouch for sharp or bulky objects that could impair your baby’s comfort or position in the carrier.
• To avoid injury to your child while practising putting your child into the carrier, do so over a bed or other padded surface and with the help of another adult.
Be especially careful when the child is carried on the back.
• We recommend wearing the hip belt higher and carrying the child high in the back position to avoid unnecessary strain on the caregiver with heavier children.
• Your balance may be affected by your body movement or the child’s movement.
• Please be careful when bending down, forward, or sideways.
• Never leave your child unattended in or near the carrier.
• This carrier is not suitable for use during sports activities (e.g., running, cycling, swimming, or skiing).
• Consult your doctor if you have any doubts regarding the use of this product.
• Ensure your child is securely positioned in the carrier and that the head is adequately supported.
• Practice putting on the carrier before use.
• Never use this product if your balance or mobility is impaired due to training, drowsiness, or health conditions.
• Never use the carrier while cooking or cleaning, as these activities involve heat sources or chemicals.
• Never wear the carrier while driving or as a passenger in a car.
Read the instruction manual carefully before adjusting and using the carrier. Failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions can result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: RISK OF FALLING AND SUFFOCATION
• When drinking hot beverages, be careful not to spill any hot drink on the child while using the carrier.
• Never open the hip belt while the child is in the carrier.
• Be aware that the risk of falling out increases with the child’s activity level.
• Always carry only one child at a time in the carrier.
• Your child’s chin must NEVER rest on their chest, as this partially blocks the windpipe. There should always be at least two finger widths of space under your child’s chin. The wearer must ensure that the child can breathe freely and unobstructed AT ALL TIMES.
• Premature infants, infants with breathing difficulties, and infants under 4 months are particularly at risk of suffocation.
• Pay attention to your child’s correct position, including their legs. The child’s position must be regularly checked to ensure they sit correctly, centred, with legs bent and head raised in the carrier, and do not slump downward or to the side. Regularly check that your child’s legs and feet are not restricted in the carrier.
• When using the hood, ensure it does NOT completely cover your child’s head and check your child regularly. Ensure there is sufficient opening for good airflow.
• Ensure your child’s fingers are not caught in any buckle openings or gaps where they could be injured.
Close all buckles completely when the carrier is not in use.
• Keep the carrier out of reach of children when not in use.
• Before each use, ensure all buckles, fasteners, straps, and adjustment options are secure. Regularly inspect the baby carrier for signs of wear and damage. Never use a carrier that is damaged in any way. Check your product before each use for torn seams, torn straps or fabrics, and damaged fasteners. Regularly check during use that straps and buckles function properly, close securely, and fit correctly.
• Do not change the carrying position while your child is in the carrier.
Remove your child from the carrier before changing the carrier’s position.
• Use and removal of the carrier should, whenever possible, be done near a safe place to set the child down and in a safe location.
• Smaller children and adults with a short torso should wear the hip belt higher on the body so that the head is positioned close enough to kiss the child when carried in front. People with a long torso should wear the hip belt approximately at navel height.
• The carrier should only be used once the wearer has fully understood the instructions and safety features and is familiar with using the carrier.
• This carrier may only be used by adults in good health.
• The carrier must not be used by persons with health problems that could impair the safe use of this product.
• If carrying in the carrier causes shoulder, back, or neck problems, stop use and seek medical advice.
• If your child shows signs of discomfort after some time, stop using your carrier until your child can be carried comfortably.
• Always check that the child is sitting comfortably and monitor any changes in their temperature.
• Age recommendations in months are only general guidelines and every child’s development is different.
• Please check whether your child meets the necessary requirements.
