A Safe Carrier That Grows With Your Baby The carrier provides safe and snug head support for the small baby. When your baby becomes a little older and his neck is strong enough to support his head, he can be carried facing outward. The neck-rest can then be folded down giving the baby a birds-eye view of his surroundings. The carrier grows with the baby thanks to an adjustable buckle that gives maximum comfort for all ages. Quick and Easy to Put On The carrier is quick and easy to put on and take off as all adjustments are made in the front. Wide, padded straps distribute the weight evenly over your back, taking strain off your shoulders. The front opens allowing you to lay your sleeping baby down without waking him. The carrier can be used from first week for babies at least 21 inches (53 cm) tall and weighing at least 8 lbs (3.5 kg). The leg straps should be used for babies ages 2 months and under to reduce the size of the leg openings. The carrier can be used as long as you wish to carry your baby, or 22 lbs (15 kg). Safe and strong 100% cotton, free from formaldehyde. Machine washable, warm/40C. Wash separately. Features: Padded and adjustable head support cradles baby's head, or folds down to allow an older baby to face forward. Comfortable wide padded shoulder straps that evenly distribute baby's weight. Simple to put on or take off with all adjustments made quickly in front. Adjustable head support for individual fit. Size adjustment buckle allows the carrier to grow with your baby.
