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.

  • 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.
