How to Use an Infantino Baby Carrier

Infantino Baby Carriers allow parents to carry a baby and still use their hands for other tasks. The carrier looks similar to a backpack, but it has an open area for baby legs, arms and head. It fits either on the back or the front of the parent, and the baby either faces the parent wearing the carrier or looks out away from the parent, depending on the specific model.

Instructions

  1. Buckle Type Carriers

    • 1

      Unbuckle the support belt and place the carrier so that the pattern part is facing toward your body. Snap the buckle at your waist. Adjust the fitting for comfort, and tighten the straps by pulling the webbing. Adjust buckle-type carriers so that the shoulder straps are close to the top.

    • 2

      Lift your baby, face him toward you and place him at your waist. Some models allow the baby to face away from the parent, but the company suggests waiting until babies can support their own heads.

    • 3

      Slip the baby's legs through the leg straps in the carrier. Secure the shoulder straps with one arm, holding the baby in place while the other arm slips into the strap. Repeat with the other arm.

    • 4

      Snap the shoulder straps together in the back around your neck. Adjust the straps by pulling the webbing. To pull your baby closer to your body, pull the straps near the buckles. Pull all of the straps tight.

    Tying Type Carriers

    • 5

      Untie the belt if it is tied and hold up the carrier so that the panel faces your body. Tie the belt at your waist, or have someone else tie it. Double knot the belt to prevent it from opening.

    • 6

      Pick up your baby and face her toward you. Allow your baby to wrap her legs around your waist.

    • 7

      Hold your baby securely in one hand, or have someone else support him, and pull the carrier up so the baby's legs are on the outside and his body is covered by the sash with the shoulder straps over both the baby's shoulders and your shoulders.

    • 8

      Have someone cross the shoulder straps in the back so that they goes over the baby and parent's shoulder and down the parent's back on the opposite side. Wrap the straps around the parent's back to the front and slide it through the loops. Pull the straps tight so that the baby is snug against the body and double knot the straps in the middle of the loops, which end up in the middle of the baby's back. Make sure all knots and straps are tight before letting go of the baby.
