Instead, we advise carrying your baby in the frog-leg (M-position) facing inward toward you. This position provides better support and ensures your baby’s comfort and safety.

Always adjust the settings accordingly to accommodate your baby’s size for optimal comfort and safety.
The maximum recommended time for the baby to remain in the carrier is two hours. After this period, it’s advisable to place the baby in a different position for a while before returning them to the carrier. This helps ensure their comfort and promotes healthy development.
