When to use: From 4 weeks (minimum 3.5 kg /7.7 lb and 53
cm/21inch.) Babies need variation. We therefore recommend
that you limit the time a newborn is spending in the Stokke®
MyCarrier™ to 20 minutes in the beginning.
How to use: Adjust your Stokke® MyCarrier™ so that you can
easily kiss the top of your baby's head. For a tall person, this
means that you have to put the waist belt quite high around your
waist, and adjust the shoulder straps to achieve this position. As
the child grows, you can gradually lower the waist belt.
When attaching the front carrier to the shoulder straps, place the
attachment strap at the same level as your armpit.
Adjust the width of the front carrier so that your baby has good
back support. The baby must not slide down, as this can affect
their breathing.
Your baby´s head should be fully supported. To achieve this, slide
the buckles on your harness up or down and adjust the length of
the straps on the front carrier until this position is achieved.
Make sure that the baby always has enough space around their
mouth and nose to be able to breathe normally.
Using the front carrier - facing outwards
Your child has good support for their back, buttocks and thighs
when facing outwards in Stokke® MyCarrier™.
When to use: Only to be used once the child can hold their head
unaided. Every child is unique, but a rough guide is around 5
months.
How to use: Before placing your baby in the outward facing
position, remember to open the zipper positioned in the middle
of the front carrier and fold away the wide textile. When carrying
outwards, consider lowering the attachment strap.
Using the back carrier
When sitting on your back in Stokke® MyCarrier ™ the child has
a broad seating position and has good support of their back,
buttocks and thighs.
When to use: When the child is 9 months and can sit unaided,
you can begin using the back carrier.
How to use: Adjust the Stokke® MyCarrier™ so that your child
can see over your shoulder. If you are alone, stand in front of a
mirror when using the back carrier. In this way, you can see that
the child is positioned properly on your back. Use a pocket mirror
to regularly check that your child is ok. If the child falls asleep,
Stokke
attach the sleep support that can be found in the pocket of the
back carrier. There is an adjustable seat inside the back carrier. The
highest position is for children up to about 1,5 year.
Maintenance

Stretch when wet to keep original shape. Dry flat at
room temperature, away from sunlight or direct heat.
