How do you use the clips (waistband/panel) on the HoodieCarrier 2 and PhysioCarrier 2?

Two positions for the straps and clips on the HoodieCarrier 2 and PhysioCarrier 2

The HoodieCarrier 2 and PhysioCarrier 2 baby carriers are designed to grow with your child; they support the baby’s natural physiology while ensuring comfort for both the baby and the person carrying them. The straps can be attached to clips located either on the front of the waistband or on the back panel (the part against the baby’s back).

From birth: attaching straps to the waistband

From birth up to about 4–8 months, you can attach the straps to the clips on the waistband so that they pass underneath the baby’s bottom. This helps round the infant’s lower back and prevents them from being pressed too flatly against your body. Small loops are provided to keep the straps from coming into contact with the baby’s calves.

When should you switch the straps to the back panel clips?

You can switch to the back panel clips when your baby is around 4–8 months old. If both you and your baby feel comfortable, it is the right time to make the change.
