Using the front carrier - facing inwards
When facing inwards in your Stokke® MyCarrier the child has the “Happy hip position” This is a broad seating position where the child has good support of back, buttocks and thighs.
When to use:
From newborn (minimum 3.5 kg /7.7 lb and 53 cm/21inch.) until the child can hold its head unaided. Babies need variation. We therefore recommend that you limit the time your child is spending in the Stokke® MyCarrier to 10-15 minutes in the beginning.
How to use:
Adjust your Stokke® MyCarrier so that the head of the baby is positioned high up on your chest. This is the safest place for the child to be. For a tall person, this means that you have to put the waist belt quite high around your waist, and adjust the shoulder straps to achieve that position. As the child grows, you can gradually lower the waist belt. Adjust the width of the front carrier so that your baby has good back support. The baby must not slide down, as this can affect their breathing. Your baby´s head should be fully supported. To achieve this, slide the buckles on your harness up or down and adjust the length of the straps on the front carrier until this position is achieved. Make sure that the baby always has enough space around mouth and nose to be able to breathe normally.
Using the front carrier - facing outwards
When facing outwards the fabric between the thighs must be more narrow to be comfortable for your child. But to ensure that the child has the best ergonomics also in this postion, the fabric under the buttocks is wider, to support the seat and upper thighs of your baby.
When to use:
Only to be used once the child can hold their head unaided. Every child is unique, but a rough guide is around 4 months +. If you feel that your child is uneasy in this position, continue to carry the child facing inwards. Seeing you, the child feels safe in new surroundings.
How to use:
Before you turn the baby, remember to open the two buttons and the zipper on the lower part of the front carrier. The front carrier is now slightly longer.
IMPORTANT!
Read all instructions before assembling and using the soft carrier.
