More Details
MATERIALS: Polyester/viscose material.
COLOURS: Available in Navy and Black.
METHOD OF USE: 1. Clip straps at the bottom of the sling firmly around the waist and allow the sling to hang down like an apron.
2. Lift one shoulder strap up and over the shoulder, cross over the back and clip loosely.
3. Place baby in the sling.
4. Lift remaining strap over the shoulder and across the back and attach to remaining clip.
5. Adjust position of the baby and tighten both straps at each side.
6. TO REMOVE:
To remove baby, unclip one or both sides while supporting baby. Lift baby clear of straps, then unclip the waist straps.
COMMENTS: Sling is available with a mesh insert [called the Cool Sling] and it comes in royal blue only.
SAFETY: - Each time the sling is used, make sure the baby is held safe and secure inside the sling and that the sling is firmly adjusted.
- The baby`s legs must go over the waist straps at the side.
- Take extra care when moving through doorways and around projecting furniture.
- Baby slings are not recommended for use when you are cooking at a hot stove or ironing.
- When bending down, remember to bend at the knees and not at the waist. This will protect the carer`s back and prevent the baby from slipping out of the sling.
- Baby slings are not approved for carrying a baby while driving a car or travelling as a passenger in a car.
CLEANING: Hand wash or gentle machine wash. Wash separately the first time.
