Instructions for carrying in facing-in position

Before use: adjust the seat width

The seat width can be adjusted to your child’s leg length to create an optimal ergonomic M-position . In this position, the seat runs from one knee pit to the other. This leg position is essential in every carrying position.

Important: The indicated ages are guidelines only. Every child develops at their own pace. Always adjust the seat width based on your baby’s leg length.

From birth

Set the lower part of the back panel on the waistband to the narrowest position. Use the outer snap buttons on the back panel and the inner snap buttons on the waistband.

Around 4 months

When you notice that the seat becomes too narrow (your baby is no longer sitting in the “M-position”), move the snap buttons to a slightly wider position.

Around 1 year

Use the widest position when your child is older and/or has longer legs.

Step 13
Make sure there are no folds in the back panel by tightening the side straps at the same time. Check that your baby is sitting comfortably and not too tightly. The baby’s back should be slightly curved, with the bottom positioned deep in the back panel just above the waistband. The legs should be in an M-shape and the head should be able to move freely.
