HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR BABY IS IN THE RIGHT POSITION

When carrying in a baby carrier or sling, you should always take this into account!

1. Head kiss height
   Your baby should always sit high enough or low enough for you to kiss it on the head.
2. Free breathing
   The nose should always be free. The rule of thumb is two fingers wide between your baby's chin and chest.
3. Headrest
   As long as your baby cannot hold his head on its own, the head should be additionally supported. For this purpose, either the back part should reach up to the ears or alternatively the headrest should be attached.
4. Spread-Squat-Position
   Ideally, your baby should sit in the squat spread position or M-position. The bar of the baby carrier should extend from the hollow of one knee to hollow of the other knee, the hip joints should face forward, the legs are crouched, the knees at navel height and the thighs are spread. The back should be sufficiently supported and rounded.

ADJUST YOUR BABY CARRIER

Adjustment of the bridge
Place your baby on a comfortable surface. The legs should be in a squat position. Now measure the distance from the hollow of one knee to the hollow of the other knee with a tape measure. Set the bridge to the measured bridge width.

Adjusting the back section
Turn your baby on its side a little bit.
Measure the distance from the edge of the cup to the shoulder. Adjust the height of the back panel to the measured height.

Push the sternum strap as far down as possible.

1. For babies who are not able to sit unassisted fasten the shoulder straps on the waist belt with the lower buckle.
   
2. For children who are able to sit unassisted fasten the shoulder straps for better weight distribution on the upper buckle.

Care Instructions
All our products are pre-washed. So you can use your new baby carrier right out of the box.
Small stains can be easily removed with a damp cloth. If a machine wash should be necessary, please only wash together with cotton and only in the gentle or fine wash cycle up to a maximum of 30°. Fabrics containing silk or viscose should only be washed by hand and exclusively with enzyme-free detergent. This protects the fabric and preserves the shiny effect. In addition, we recommend warm, not hot, ironing so that the fibers contract and form a smooth surface again.
This way you can enjoy your Fidella® product for a long time and the unique
