Please remember that as with all brands of wraps, slings and pouch-type carriers, the child is not tied in. &nbsp: Always use good judgment and pay attention to the child’s security and movements.  Only an adult should use a baby sling.  <br><br> The first time using a baby sling, sit down in a comfortable position.   We recommend you practice with a doll before your first use with a baby.   While getting used to carrying a baby in a sling support him/her with your hands.  Be especially careful when trying out new positions.<br><br> Always check to be sure the baby is secure. Do not wear a child if you are near sharp or hot objects, this includes preparing food and drinking hot beverages.  Put an arm around the child, bend at the knees, and be sure you are standing in a safe place when you bend over. Be careful not to bump the baby's body on furniture, doorways, etc.  Keep baby’s arms, legs, and head a safe distance away from potential hazards. Toddlers can grab dangerous or breakable objects; keep them away from potential hazards.  <br><br> Do not use in motor vehicles, or ride a bike while wearing a child.   Do not cover baby's head.  Pay attention to airflow, especially for very young, small babies.  Check the seams of your sling to ensure that they are not coming apart. &nbsp Recommended for babies up to 35 pounds.  This list does not include all hazards and risk warnings.  Please be a responsible adult.</p> </blockquote> </div> </notextile>
