3. Setup and Adjustments

3.1 Adjusting for Baby's Height (Newborn & Up)

Before placing your baby in the carrier, adjust the seat width using the Velcro tabs on the waistbelt. For newborns (0-4 months), ensure the head and neck support is in the correct position to provide adequate support.

3.2 Wearing the Carrier

The carrier is designed for easy self-application. First, secure the waistbelt high on your waist, ensuring the lumbar support is centered. Then, put on the shoulder straps. The shoulder straps can be worn in a crossed or backpack style for personalized comfort.
