4. The "hip" position of the Baby K'tan may NOT be used before your child is able to sit up
unassisted. When you are wearing your child in the "hip" position, keep one arm encircling the
child's back at all times for support and balance. When placing your child in, or taking you child
out of, the "back" position, the assistance of a second adult is recommended.
5. The "Twin" position should only be used for babies weighing up to 10 lbs each.
6. Before every use, make sure that the fabric and seams of the Baby K'tan are in good condition.
If there are worn areas of fabric, rips, loose seams or other visible signs of damage or deterioration
to the Carrier, DISCONTINUE use of the Carrier.
7. While wearing your child in the Baby K'tan, ALWAYS make sure that there is enough room
around your child's nose and mouth to provide a clear source of air. CHECK OFTEN to ensure that
the fabric does not cover your child's face, that the position of your body does not restrict your
child's airflow, and that your child's chin is not pressed down into his/her chest thereby restricting
airflow.
8. While wearing your child in the Baby K'tan, CHECK OFTEN to make sure that your child is not
too hot, the fabric fits snugly but not too tight, and that your child is secure in the Carrier. If the
Carrier does not fit snugly over you and your child or feels too tight, DISCONTINUE use of the
Carrier; you may need a different size.
9. The Baby K'tan is designed for use by adults when walking or sitting only. The Carrier is NOT to
be used while participating in strenuous activity and sports. NEVER lie down with your child in the
Carrier.
10. If you bend or stoop down while wearing your child in the Baby K'tan, do NOT bend at the
waist; ALWAYS bend at the knees and make sure your child stays secure in the Carrier. |
