Setup Guide
Before placing your baby in the carrier, ensure it is properly adjusted to your body for a secure and comfortable fit. The Joie Savvy Lite Air features intuitive AutoClick magnetic buckles and adjustable, cushioned shoulder straps for easy customization.
- Adjust Waistband: Fasten the waist belt around your natural waist or hips. The waistband accommodates sizes from 21.25 to 67 inches. Ensure it is snug but comfortable.
- Position Shoulder Straps: Place the shoulder straps over your shoulders. The shoulder adjustment buckles glide up and down smoothly for a fine-tuned fit.
- Secure Back Strap: Connect the back strap (chest clip) between the shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly and prevent straps from slipping.
- Prepare for Baby: Depending on the carry position, adjust the seat width and head support as needed for your baby's size and age.

Operating Instructions: Carry Positions
The Joie Savvy Lite Air 3-in-1 Baby Carrier offers three comfortable and ergonomic carry positions for your child, from newborn to toddler (8 lb. up to 30 lb.). Always ensure your baby's airways are clear and they are positioned correctly to support healthy hip and spine development.

1. Front Parent-Facing (Newborn Mode)
This position is ideal for newborns and younger infants, providing close contact and support. Ensure the carrier is adjusted to support a healthy C-shape for the baby's spine and an M-shape for their hips.
- Recommended Age/Weight: From 8 lb. (approx. newborn)
- Positioning: Baby faces towards you, with legs tucked in or splayed in an M-shape depending on size. Head and neck should be fully supported.

2. Front Parent-Facing (Baby Mode)
As your baby grows, this position continues to offer comfort and security, allowing them to feel close to you while still observing their surroundings.
- Recommended Age/Weight: For older infants who have good head and neck control, up to 30 lb.
- Positioning: Baby faces towards you, with legs splayed in an M-shape. Ensure the carrier supports their knees higher than their bottom.

3. Front World-Facing (Toddler Mode)
For curious toddlers who want to explore the world around them, this position allows them to face outwards while still being securely carried.
- Recommended Age/Weight: For toddlers with strong head and neck control, typically from 6 months+, up to 30 lb.
- Positioning: Baby faces away from you. Ensure the carrier's seat is wide enough to support their hips in an M-shape.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your Joie Savvy Lite Air baby carrier and ensure it remains hygienic for your child.
- Cleaning: The carrier is machine washable. Always refer to the care label on the product for specific washing instructions. Use cold water and a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry the carrier flat or hang it to dry. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron, as this may damage the fabric and components.
- Storage: Store the carrier in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the carrier for any signs of wear, tear, or damage to buckles, straps, and seams. Discontinue use if any damage is found.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Joie Savvy Lite Air baby carrier, consider the following common solutions:
- Discomfort for Parent: Ensure the waistband is properly positioned and tightened, and shoulder straps are evenly adjusted. The lumbar support belt should sit comfortably on your lower back.
- Baby Seems Uncomfortable: Verify that your baby is within the recommended weight limits (8 lb. to 30 lb.). Check their positioning to ensure a healthy C-shape spine and M-shape hips. Ensure airways are clear and baby is not overheating.
- Buckles Not Securing: Ensure the AutoClick magnetic buckles are clean and free of debris. Confirm they are fully engaged and click into place.
- Carrier Feels Loose: Re-adjust all straps (waistband, shoulder straps, back strap) to achieve a snug and secure fit for both you and your baby.
