-
Is the carrier machine washable?Yes! We recommend washing the carrier on the delicate cycle after every water use.
-

I find it sometimes hard to reach the chest strap on my back to fasten or unbuckle it. What should I do?Loosening the shoulder straps before buckling or unbuckling the chest strap will make it easier for you to reach it. Make sure to position the chest strap using the sliders on the shoulder straps so it is in the middle of your shoulder blades once you tighten the shoulder straps and get a snug fit for your and your baby’s comfort. You then just need to loosen the shoulder straps so the chest strap is easy to reach close to your neck area when buckling/unbuckling the chest strap. For safety reasons, always maintain some tension on the shoulder straps to support your baby when buckling and unbuckling the chest strap.
-
How do I adjust the carrier to my baby's size?There is a cord directly above the waistband of the carrier, adjust it to fit the baby’s size prior to putting it on. Step one: pull on the ripcord and push the cord lock towards the waistband to cinch the panel. Step two: once it is cinched to the desired width knot the cord lock below the waist band for added security. To release or widen the waist band: Step one: undue the cord knot Step two: pinch the cord lock and pull it towards you to loosen the waistband and widen the width Step three: re-knot the ripcord once the waistband is at you desired width.

-
Can I wear the baby in the front, facing out?"No, this carrier is certified for a front carry with baby facing in (safest while in the water) and the back-carry position.
-
At what age can I carry my baby in the back carry position?Each parent and child is different but usually around 6 months your baby will be ready to be carried on the back and parents are comfortable not having their baby in direct line of sight. Baby must have strong head and neck control and be comfortably seated consistently in the carrier in an ergonomic, frog-leg position with knees even to hips. People with larger babies who are more developed may choose to put their baby in the back carry position even earlier than 6 months especially for longer carry times since many parents find it more comfortable to wear heavy babies on their backs.
