1. To ensure the baby is correctly positioned in the squat position in the carrier, the bar must always extend from the back of the knee to the back of the knee. To achieve this, the width of the bar should be adjusted before putting the baby on. As a rule of thumb, the width of the bar is approximately the baby's body length divided by two. Adjust the width to suit your baby's stature. Check regularly to ensure the width of the bar still matches your baby's size and widen it if necessary.

2. Put the pre-adjusted baby carrier around you with the strap facing outwards.

3. Close the buckle until it clicks into place. Tighten the hip belt.

4. Place the baby on the hip belt at head-kissing height. The strap should extend from knee to knee.

5. Pull up the back part...

6. ... and place the straps on your shoulders. Support your baby with one hand at a time.

7. You now have both shoulder straps hanging straight down.

8. Reach under the first support and grab the opposite one. Pull it diagonally downward.

9. Repeat on the other side. To do this, switch hands and hold your baby with the hand that held the first carrier.

10. Now you have both straps in your hands.

11. Bring the straps forward under the baby's legs.

12. Now hold the straps in front under your baby's bottom.

13. Tie a double knot under the bottom. (Alternatively, you can cross the straps under the bottom, bring them back under the baby's legs, and tie a double knot there.)

14. Check that everything fits correctly: - Mouth and nose free? - Is the carrier fastened tightly enough? - Back section high enough? - Straps spread out well on the shoulders and back? - Head height?
