Lift the carrier onto your shoulders with assistance if needed, then fasten and adjust the hip belt and shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly.

Recommendations

Use this carrier for supervised day outings and avoid extended multi-day loads beyond the carrier’s design intent. Follow manufacturer guidance on child weight and age limits, and ensure regular checks of straps, buckles and frame integrity. For comfort, balance load distribution, take regular breaks and keep the child protected from sun and cold with suitable clothing or accessories.
