Safety while babywearing
Carrying a child in a baby carrier requires attention to position, adjustments, the activities you do and the condition of the product.
For babies born prematurely and/or with health problems, consult a doctor before using the product.
Baby’s position
While carrying, your baby’s legs should be slightly spread, with the knees higher than the bottom, ideally forming an “M” position.
- the back and neck should maintain a naturally curved position, especially in the first months;
- the face must always remain visible and uncovered;
- the airways must remain clear;
- your baby should be carried high enough for you to easily kiss the top of their head.
Adjustments
Adjust the baby carrier so that your baby’s body stays close to yours and both of you are comfortable.
- check that your baby is well supported;
- make sure the seat supports the legs correctly;
- check the position after every adjustment;
- if anything feels uncomfortable, stop and readjust the carrier before continuing.
