How to wear the Karē baby carrier: A step-by-step guide

From the moment you hold your newborn baby in your arms, a deep bond is formed. The Karē baby carrier is designed to support this bond, which is strengthened with every cuddle and shared experience. Designed to keep your baby close while allowing you to move freely, the Karē baby carrier is the perfect blend of comfort and functionality. Here's a detailed guide to wearing your Karē baby carrier correctly.

1. Front carrying position: Newborn onwards

The front carry position is ideal for newborns and small babies, keeping them close to your heart and safely supported.

Step by step instructions

1. Prepare the waist belt: Position the waist belt around your waist so that the panel is centred at the front of your body. Place the male buckle under the elastic safety loop and tighten the waist belt over your hips.
2. Attach the shoulder straps: Pull the body panel up and place the left shoulder strap over your left shoulder. Switch hands and pull the right shoulder strap over your right shoulder.
3. Fasten the buckles: Fasten the straps, making sure that each strap clicks securely. Adjust the length of the straps for a snug but comfortable fit.
4. Position your baby: Place your baby on your hip and slide his or her leg under the already buckled strap. Pull the other strap up and over your shoulder, securing your baby in the carrier.
5. Adjust for comfort: Make sure your baby sits in an 'M' position, with the knees higher than the bottom. Tighten the shoulder straps for a comfortable fit, making sure your baby's head is supported but free to move.

2. Back carry position: For babies aged 6 months and over

Once your baby has good head and neck control, you can try the back carry position for more active adventures.

Step by step instructions

1. Prepare the waist belt: Position the waist belt around your waist with the panel centred at the front of your body. Tighten the waist belt and secure the buckle.
2. Adjust the shoulder straps: Pull the shoulder straps through the sliders to shorten them. Slide the body panel towards your hips.
3. Place your baby: Place your baby on your hip and pull the body panel up your back. Lean forward slightly and rotate the carrier around your waist to position your baby on your back.
4. Fasten the shoulder straps: Put your arms through the shoulder straps as if you were wearing a rucksack. Clip the shoulder strap connectors in front of your chest and adjust for comfort.
5. Ensure correct positioning: Make sure your baby is positioned deep in the seat with his or her legs in the 'M' position. Adjust the straps as necessary to ensure a snug and secure fit.
