7. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your baby carrier:

• Storage: Store the carrier in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Grownsy Baby Carrier, consider the following:

• Discomfort for Parent: Ensure all straps are properly adjusted and tightened. The waist belt should bear most of the baby's weight. Experiment with different carrying positions.
• Discomfort for Baby: Check if the baby is positioned ergonomically (M-shape for hips, C-shape for spine). Ensure no fabric is bunched up or pressing uncomfortably. Verify the baby's age and weight are within the recommended limits for the chosen carrying position.
• Difficulty Fastening Back Buckle: If you find it hard to reach the back buckle, try fastening it before placing the baby in the carrier, then slide the carrier on like a T-shirt. Alternatively, ask for assistance.
• Carrier Feels Loose: Re-check all buckles and adjust straps until the carrier feels snug and secure, but not overly tight.
