Learn About Flexi Carrier

How to set your carrier correctly

One of the key aspects of ergonomic babywearing is achieving a snug and comfortable fit.
Follow our guidelines to ensure the carrier is adjusted to support your baby’s hips and spine correctly.
We understand that visual learning is essential for many parents.
Our tutorial page includes detailed video demonstrations, allowing you to see the proper techniques in action.

1. Step – Set the width of seat based on your child’s size


Width of the seat is set by studs on the inner and inside of the waistband.
The International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) recommends baby’s hips to be spread apart and flexed
with the thighs supported upto the knee joint,
forming an “M“.

Narrow waistband seat for newborns

Medium set waistband seat

Fully extended waistband seat

2. Step – Set the outside of the carrier based on your child size


Adjust the length of the carrier by pulling the shoulder straps

Use the shoulder straps to adjust the length of the carrier
(fully tighten for newborn – carrier becomes shorter)

3. Step – You are now ready to carry your child


Follow the instructions in the below tutorial. 
Remember to follow T.I.C.K.S. for safe baby-wearing 
Perform pelvic tilt to ensure the baby’s hips are positioned correctly.

 

 FRONT CARRY
Always set the seat to fit the baby from the inside of one knee to the inside of the other to support the upper legs and hips correctly.

FORWARD FACING
From 6 months onwards. Restrict outward facing to 30 minutes. Baby should never sleep in this position.

Tip: Lengthen the shoulder straps. Set the seat size to small. Position baby in FRONT of the waist belt, and not on top of it so that baby sits on a part of the body panel

FOLDING YOUR CARRIER
Roll up your carrier for compact storage

BACK CARRY
From 6 months onward. Make sure you position the waistband snuggly and high around your waist to that the baby is positioned high against the back.

TIDY UP EXTRA LENGTH STRAPS
Roll up all extra straps to keep your carrier tidy once you have adjusted it to your size.
