| Always check your carrier every time prior to wearing for any signs of wear. Only wear your child for as long as your body is OK with. Don't over do. Above all use your own sense of whats right for you and your child. You may want to have some help the first few times you put the Snugglebug on so that you can get a feel for it and your baby can get use to the "putting on" process. These instructions are just for a starting point. Make the carrier work for you. Enjoy! |
| Front wearing: |
|
|
|
| 1. Drape your carrier like an apron. (shown in picture) You want the bottom of the strap to be sitting above your hips so it won't slip off. Snap it and tighten it down. |
| 2. Hold your baby facing you. Their bottom should be just above where the back joins the waist strap. |
| 4. Holding your baby with your left hand reach around behind yourself with your right hand and grab the left shoulder strap. |
| 3. Bring the shoulder straps up over your shoulders. Just let them drape there. Hold onto your child through this whole process. (pictured left) |
|
|
| 5. Clip that strap into the clasp on the right side and cinch down 6. Do that same thing with the right shoulder strap. |
| 7. Bounce up and down a little so that your baby "settles" and you can cinch it down nice and secure. Done! (as shown on right) |
| Back wearing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1. Snap the waist band in the front with the carrier draped downward. It should be above your hips in the smallest part of your waist. |
| 2. Settle your baby on your hip and slowly pass him/her around onto your back holding him or her the whole time. |
| 3. Once he's on your back hold him with one hand and bring the carrier up over his back with your other hand. |
| 4. Holding on tight to the straps, pull them tight and let your baby sink into the carrier. Make sure his legs are on each side of the carrier and he's sitting centered in the carrier. |
| 5. Snap the right shoulder strap into the left snap, making the straps cross your chest. |
| 6. Bounce your baby and tighten any straps that need to be. Your all set! |
