Thank you! I tried putting my newborn in it and it just didn’t look right and after watching your video I figured out why it didn’t! Can’t wait to use it again!

I got two of these but my baby used it once as a newborn and has hared it since 😬 he only likes the cloth wraps. Going to try reintroducing him to this soon.

If I snap the top down to be to the nape of the neck it's lower than the nape of the neck. Is it okay to leave it up? He's only 7.5 weeks.

[@SouthLondonSlingLibrary]

Try popping your hands inside the carrier, holding his pelvis & tucking his bottom under. This will help him have a better seated position & you may find he sits a little lower. 🙂

[@jennylu751]

Shouldn't the snaps be undone for newborns at the hip? I thought their legs have to be in the M position?

[@SouthLondonSlingLibrary]

The buttons on the front of the carrier, near the hips, are redundant. Infantino say that they should be fastened between 3-4.5kgs to prevent the baby falling out through the leg hole. That's honestly absurd. With the body panel between their legs & the 4 buckles fastened, babies are not going to get anywhere close to falling out of the leg holes. Similar buttons exist on the BabyBjorn Carriers and are equally as redundant there. The M Position helps to distribute the baby's weight around your torso more effectively, but as long as you don't have a diagnosis or family history of hip problems, it is not essential. The video does give instructions on how to improve your baby's seated position & mentions why the demo dolls don't manage to do this. I hope that helps.

How can loosen the straps at the front at the top? I cant seem to do it

[@SouthLondonSlingLibrary]

Treat the buckles at the top just like you would buckles on a bag. If you angle them away from your body they will loosen.

[@Tinx92]

What weight would you say to open the flaps on the bottom? My girl is nearly 5m and the manual is useless 😂

[@SouthLondonSlingLibrary]

Hi. Honestly, it’s less about weight & more about the length of her legs. If you make the seat wider & your daughter can sit in the carrier with her knees comfortably bent over both sides then she fits. If the wider setting means that the carrier goes past the back of her knees & extends down her lower leg, then she’s still a little small & needs to go back to the narrow setting for a little longer. I hope that helps. 🙂

Once I button the head part down, it’s too much of my baby head/neck exposed

[@SouthLondonSlingLibrary]

Most of your baby's head support comes from getting a nice seated/ "M"/squat position - this carrier doesn't do that terribly well. If you feel like you're not getting enough head support from the carrier, I recommend finding your local Baby Wearing Consultant/Sling Library to try some alternattive options.

I really appreciate the gender-neutral language!

[@SouthLondonSlingLibrary]

You’re welcome. I don’t always get it right, but I try.

[@dulanjaliranmuthu9392]

Maximum kg?

[@SouthLondonSlingLibrary]

The carrier has been safety tested to about 14kg, but will probably be uncomfortable long before that. Generally it’s around grown by around 6m.
