    • Always ensure your baby is in a comfortable, ergonomic position with their hips properly supported
    • The baby’s knees should be positioned higher than their hips to prevent hip dysplasia

Satefy T.I.C.K.S.

  • T — TIGHT

    The baby carrier should hold your baby tightly against your body. A snug fit prevents unnecessary slumping, which could restrict your baby’s breathing.

    The carrier should support the baby in an upright position, close to you, ensuring they are secure but comfortable. A well-adjusted, tight fit also helps distribute the baby’s weight evenly, preventing strain on your back and shoulders.

  • I — IN VIEW AT ALL TIMES

    You should always be able to see your baby’s face without needing to move any fabric or adjust the carrier. Keeping your baby’s face visible ensures that their breathing remains unobstructed, and allows you to easily check on them at any time. Avoid any position where the baby’s face is covered or pressed against your body.

  • C — CLOSE ENOUGH TO KISS

    Your baby should be positioned high on your chest, close enough for you to tilt your head and kiss the top of their head easily. This ensures they are not too low in the carrier, which could lead to breathing difficulties, especially for newborns. Keeping them close also strengthens the bond between you and your baby.

  • K — KEEP CHIN OFF THE CHEST

    Your baby’s chin should never be pressed down onto their chest, as this can restrict their airflow. To prevent this, ensure there is always at least a two- finger space between their chin and chest. This keeps the airways open and allows for easy, safe breathing.

  • S — SUPPORTED BACK

    Your baby’s back should be well- supported in a natural position. For newborns and young infants, their back should remain in a gentle, curved “C” shape, and the carrier should support them from the base of their neck down to their bottom. If you place your hand on their back, they should not slump or move away from your body, as this could compromise their airway.

Safety ‘M’ Position

  • M-Position

    The ‘M’ Position ensures proper ergonomic posture and comfort for your baby.

  • Too Narrow

    Adjust the carrier to a wider setting if your baby's thighs lack full support.

  • Too Wide

    If fabric goes beyond baby's knees, set the carrier narrower for a better fit.
