(Do this at home - before you take the carrier out with your child).
Loosen the shoulder straps and hip belt first.
Please note the sternum straps are re-moveable and can be taken off and repositioned if necessary.
6 months to give the child back and side support, it is best to have the seat slightly lowered so that the child's shoulders are level with the top of the side wings.
12-18 months raise the seat so the child's armpits are level with the side wings (see fig 3).
18 months+ at this age you may need to lower the seat, again the child's armpits should be level with the side wings. It is not odd for a 2 year olds feet to be touching the ground when the carrier is on the floor.
Always make sure that the child is correctly harnessed in and that the harness has been adjusted correctly every time you use the carrier.
NEVER LEAVE A CHILD UNATTENDED IN A CHILD CARRIER.
First loosen the shoulder straps.
With someone – Get them to pick up the carrier with both hands using the frame lifting handles, on Lite carrier hold onto the frame half way up. Put your arm through one shoulder strap then the other, click the main buckle & then tighten the hip belt and shoulder straps as described before, and do up the sternum strap.
On your own - If you are on your own the best way to pick up your carrier is to take it to a 'half-way station', such as a settee, park bench, back seat of the car. Holding the top grab handle crouch down and put your other arm through a loosened shoulder strap (DO NOT LET GO). Then put your other arm the other shoulder strap. Stand up, click the main buckle & then adjust the hip belt as normal. If you have to lift the carrier from the floor, kneel down and place one hand under the edge of the base and lift it on to your knee. Put your arm through one shoulder strap then the other.
To take off the carrier reverse the above.

Sleep Cushion: | The sleep cushion is attached by webbing/Velcro at the top of the back system and can be removed for cleaning. |
Foot Loops: | On Premier, Elite and Pinnacle these are attached under the child seat. They can be purchased for use on the Lite and Mico+ carriers, they attach to the d-rings located under the child seat. They are used like 'stirrups' on a horse to give more comfort to an older child (use from about 18mths). They can be lengthened and shortened to fit. |
Sun Canopy (basic): | The sun canopy frame slides into the two slots on either side at the back of the child seat, and then the two elastic loops are fixed round the buckles on the side wings. |
Sun/Rain Canopy (Premier / Elite/ Pinnacle): | The canopy frame slides into the two slots on either side at the back of the child seat then the two elastic loops are fixed round the buckles on the side wings. The Elite & Pinnacle have a mesh front that tucks away in the roof of the canopy, and can be fixed in place with the elastic loops. |
PU Raincover: | The raincover fits over the top of a sun canopy, and the elastic grips round the base of the carrier. |
Raincape: | The fully waterproof, taped rainccape fits over the child when in a carrier; the hood can be adjusted to fit using the tab on the back. |
Holdall: | The holdall is large enough to fit all carriers, plus extra clothing etc. |
