STEP 1

Prepare the Carrier

Place carrier over preferred shoulder and adjust the strap at the front and back by pulling the webbing through the clips. Allow enough space to comfortably position the carrier around you and your child.

STEP 2 (STANDING)

Seat your Child - Standing

For children who can stand independently, place the carrier over your head and guide your child into the seat, positioning their bottom in the centre before lifting them into position.
