IMPORTANT TIPS AND INFORMATION FOR THE USE OF ERGOBABY™ 360 CARRIER
Read all instructions before assembling and using the soft carrier. The Ergobaby™ 360 Carrier may be used without the Ergobaby™ Infant Insert only for those babies weighing more than 12 lbs. (5.5 kg) who have demonstrated strong and consistent head control and are comfortable with a spread leg seated position. The child must face toward you until he or she can hold head upright. Never leave your baby unattended in or with the Ergobaby™ 360 Carrier. Never use a soft carrier when balance or mobility is impaired because of exercise, drowsiness, or medical conditions. Never use a soft carrier while engaging in activities such as cooking and cleaning which involve a heat source or exposure to chemicals. Never wear a soft carrier while driving or being a passenger in a motor vehicle. Never unbuckle the waist belt while the baby is in the Carrier.
The Baby’s chin should NEVER rest on the baby’s chest because this partially closes the baby’s airway. There should always be at least two fingers’ width clearance before the baby’s chin. The wearer must be sure that the baby’s airway is clear and that baby is breathing normally at ALL TIMES. Premature infants, infants with respiratory problems, and infants under 4 months are at the greatest risk of suffocation. Ensure proper placement of the baby in the product including leg placement. The baby’s position should be checked regularly to make sure that the baby is properly seated in the Carrier, centered with legs extended and head upright and not slumping downward or to the side. Baby’s arms, legs, and feet need to be observed regularly while in the Carrier to ensure that they are not constricted by the Carrier. Check to assure all buckles, snaps, straps, and adjustments are secure before each use. Regularly check straps and buckles while in use to make sure they have proper tension and placement. Check for ripped seams, torn straps or fabric, and damaged fasteners before each use.
Only use the back and hip carry position when the baby has demonstrated strong and consistent head and neck control. Do not switch between positions with your baby in the Carrier. Take the baby out of the Carrier before changing the position of the Carrier. To avoid injury when learning to place the baby in the Carrier, do so over a bed or other cushioned surface with the assistance of another adult. The Carrier should not be used unless and until the wearer understands the instructions and safety features, and is confident and comfortable with respect to the use of the Carrier. This Carrier is only intended for use by healthy adults. As a general rule, an individual in good health should be able to carry 20% of their body weight in a traditional backpack design. The Carrier should not be used by a person with any health problems that might interfere with the safe use of the product.
If the person using the Carrier should develop shoulder, back, or neck problems, discontinue its use and consult a qualified medical professional. Discontinue use of the Carrier if the baby exhibits signs of discomfort while being carried for a period of time until the baby can be carried without exhibiting discomfort. For those with longer torsos, we suggest wearing the waist belt up higher, around the belly button level. If you have a short torso, try wearing the waist belt around your hips. Contact the Ergobaby customer service representative for additional assistance if needed. For an instructional video and additional tips, please visit www.ergobaby.com (English only).
Nursing in the Ergobaby™ 360 Carrier All Ergobaby™ Carriers are designed to facilitate nursing with your baby in the Carrier. Loosen the shoulder straps slightly when nursing to allow your baby’s head to be lower. The hood can be used for privacy.
