These are the pre-settings to make when using the baby carrier
Before using the baby carrier, you should follow the following two steps. It does not matter whether you carry your baby in front or on your back.
Adjusting the width of the baby carrier
How wide you should adjust the baby carrier depends on the age of your baby. For small babies, the inner bars (narrower seat width) are suitable and for larger babies, the outer bars (wider seat width).
How do I use the back extension?
A few hints first: If your baby is sleeping in the front carrier, you can very quietly open the extension. If the opposite is the case and your baby is restless, you can stabilize him or her with the help of the extension. After all, the extension serves to support larger children in the shoulder area. The baby carrier grows with the child, so to speak.

Tips for an ergonomic position of your baby
M-shape tuck-in straddle posture
Make sure that your baby is in the ergonomically correct straddle position. Your baby's knees should be higher than the bottom.
Hunchback
Make sure your baby forms a hunchback to ensure the correct sitting posture.
Head-kissing posture
If you can kiss your baby's head, your baby has the correct seat height.
Bolster and head support in the baby carrier
Depending on how old your baby is and how much he moves, you should position the headrest. When your baby is awake, the headrest acts as a bolster to support the baby's head.
The bolster should reach to the middle of the ear until the baby can control the head and neck well and hold it by itself. The length of the complete back section is adjustable with the help of the back extension.
Use headrest to protect baby from wind and light
When your child is sleeping, you can also use the headrest to keep out light and wind. To do this, simply connect one side to the shoulder strap.
Important: One side must always be open. Also make sure that the baby's airways are clear and that the face is visible.
