BushBaby pinnacle, elite, premier, lite, micro+ Fitting Manual

Getting the most comfortable fit for you

(Do this at home - before you take the carrier out with your child).
Loosen the shoulder straps and hip belt first.

1. Fitting the hip belt First position the hip belt correctly, with the centre of the hip belt covering your hip-bone, so the hips can help support the load. Position and tighten the hip belt 'F' as tightly as possible.
2. The correct fit
   When you have fitted the hip belt, look to check whether there is a gap between your shoulder and the shoulder strap 'E'.

• If there is no gap then the carrier will not need adjusting.
• If there is a gap then you will need to shorten the back system.
• If the carrier lifts off your hips you will need to make the back system longer

3. Adjusting the back system
   Before adjusting; study the way the strap has been fed through the 'bigeye' back system, this will help during re-assembly.
   1. Simply part the 'Velcro webbing' strap 'B', which secures the adult carrying harness to the back system through the coloured eyelets 'C'.
   2. Slide the Velcro-webbing strap out.
   3. When you have decided the correct height position, simply re-feed the Velcro webbing strap through the two of the eyelets.
   4. On re-feed through 2 eyelets of the same colour on the back system.
   5. Secure 'Velcro webbing' strap firmly in place.

Please note the sternum straps are re-moveable and can be taken off and repositioned if necessary.

To make your child safe, comfortable and secure

1. How to load your child safely
   The carriers have a loading stabiliser located on the base. Undo the Velcro and pull out, place your foot on it to help to keep the carrier steady. On a Micro+ use the metal frame to stabilise the carrier while loading.
   1. Loosen the side straps and make the child seat area as wide as possible.
   2. Unclip the child harness buckles.
   3. Lower the child into the seat area (see fig 1 & 2).
      
   4. Support the weight of the child using the grab handle found in front of the child's seat.
   5. Raise or lower the child's seat to suit your child (see adjusting the seat height).

1. Pass the webbing harness straps over the child's shoulders and re-clip the harness buckles.
2. Tighten the child's harness, by lengthening/shortening the webbing under the fleece straps. The harness straps are adjusted by opening the back zip pocket and undoing the buckles – pull to a snug fit and lock the buckles in position.
3. Never use a carrier without the harness fitted snuggly.
4. Pull evenly on both the side wing straps to draw the child seat in towards the back system (as close as possible), ensuring that the child is not constricted and uncomfortable.

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.

How to pick up your bushbaby 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.
