Setup and Adjustments

The Omni Classic carrier is designed for an adjustable fit for various body types (XS-XXL, waistbelt 25.5in to 55.25in / 65cm to 140cm).

1. Waistbelt Adjustment: Fasten the waistbelt securely around your natural waist or hips. Use the double adjusters for easy tightening and to provide lumbar support.
2. Shoulder Straps: Adjust the padded shoulder straps for a snug and comfortable fit. The straps can be worn straight or crossed in the back, depending on your preference and comfort.
3. Seat Adjustment: The ergonomic seat adjusts gradually to your baby's size. Ensure the seat width supports your baby from knee-to-knee, maintaining the 'M' shape position.
4. Head & Neck Support: For younger babies, ensure the extendable back panel is folded in to provide adequate head and neck support. For toddlers, unfold the panel for additional back support.

Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your carrier:

• Washing Instructions: Hand wash only.
• Drying: Air dry. Do not tumble dry.
• Bleaching: Do not bleach.
• Ironing: Do not iron.
• Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Discomfort for Wearer: Ensure the waistbelt is snug and positioned correctly on your hips or waist. Adjust shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly. Try crossing the shoulder straps for a different fit.
• Baby Discomfort/Poor Positioning: Verify the seat is adjusted to provide a knee-to-knee support, forming an 'M' shape with your baby's legs. Ensure the head and neck support is appropriate for your baby's age and developmental stage.
• Difficulty Fastening Back Clip: If using the straps straight, practice fastening the back clip before placing the baby in the carrier. Alternatively, use the crisscross strap option which allows for front buckling.
