Consider bust size and type of clothing when choosing a size. You may take winter clothing into account, but we recommend to carry infants under your winter coat.
The sizes overlap generously so that you may choose a size that will fit both parents or caregivers that will be carrying the baby. Waist belt as well as shoulder straps are adjustable. When in doubt choose the smaller size.
For safety reasons an overlap of 5 inches (12 cm) of the Velcro must be provided and considered in the sizes!
HOW TO USE
Front Carry
1. Fit waist belt tightly around waist, Velcro free side of the carrier facing you. Place baby on your chest, carrier between his legs.
2. Hold the baby with one hand, put a shoulder strap over your shoulder with the other.
3. Switch hands. Grab the shoulder strap, pull and attach it tightly to the carrier.
4. Proceed the same way with the other shoulder strap.The straps should cross each other on your back.
5. Baby should be snug against your body and sit comfortably. If necessary readjust straps.
6. If your baby is not able to hold his head on his own yet or is sleeping, you should add support by fastening the headrest to the shoulder straps.
CARRYING TIPS
• The "frog" position is the best for your baby, but babies sometimes don't know what is best. Help your baby get into the correct position by lifting his or her knees to be level with their navel; this will also help his or her back get into a nice round shape.
• A good height for the baby in the carrier is when you can comfortably kiss the baby on the head.
• Take the Marsupi wherever you and your baby go. The Marsupi is compact and fits easily in your diaper bag; you never know when it will come in handy.
• Always close hook and loop fasteners, as soon as you take it off.
