General

How does the carrier ergonomically support my baby?

CYBEX carrier’s back panel stretches to support your baby’s spine by imitating its natural, curved C-shape. It keeps your baby in a hip-healthy M position, keeping their knees up above their bottom and level with their hips. When using the front outward carry position, your baby’s knees should be at a 90° to ensure they are in the optimum ergonomic position.

How do I make sure the weight distribution is best for the caregiver?

Your baby’s head should be close enough to kiss without needing to stoop, with their hips in the hip-friendly M position and their spine in the C position. Specially designed padding helps redistribute the weight away from your neck, shoulders and back. Once you have decided which direction you want your shoulder straps to be (crossbody or parallel), you can customize them using the various support buckles to suit the body shape of the caregiver. A well-padded waistbelt supports your lower back and provides optimal lumbar support.

When can I start putting the baby in the carrier?

Once your baby grows to 19.6 inches and weighs 7 lbs, you can begin your adventures with a carrier. If you can see half their ear, then they are at the right height but ensure they are in the hip-healthy M position with their spine supported in the curved C position before you begin by positioning your child’s bottom correctly in the carrier. 

What are the possible carry positions and when should I use them?

Begin that special connection with your baby with the (newborn) front inward carry position from birth until 3 years.Designed to give maximum support to their neck, the front inward carry position keeps your baby closest of all. Specially developed to allow the neck support to be rolled inside to let them cuddle in to feel safe and protected from Day 1. Once they are around 6 months old and can hold their head upright, the front outward carry position is perfect for around 20 minutes at a time to let them see the world face on. The back inward carry position has been the go-to position for centuries and can be used from 6 months to give your child a view over your shoulder.

Is the carrier designed for all body types?

Your comfort is paramount and CYBEX carriers have been designed to ensure this. Having your baby in the correct position to provide the best weight distribution is the first step. The waist belt and the shoulder straps can be tightened or loosened from the front or back as you walk to give more support when you need it.

How safe are the materials used in my carrier?

The safety of your children is at the front of everything we do, and all materials used in CYBEX products undergo stringent testing and all meet the highest standards.

Usage

How does the sternum strap benefit me?

The sternum strap is used to help distribute the weight away from your shoulders when the shoulder straps are parallel.

What is the advantage of the leg loops?

By reducing the circumference of the leg openings, the leg loops provide support for smaller babies. Once they are too tight for your baby, you should then stop using them.

Why is it important to secure the waistbelt buckle with the elastic loop?

If the buckle buttons were accidentally pressed, this elastic loop ensures the waistbelt stays secure and keeps your child safe.

When and for how long can I carry my baby in the front outward carry position?

Once your baby can hold their head up independently and become more curious of their surroundings, usually between 4 and 6 months old, they can be carried in the front outward carry position. Please remember that they should only stay in this position for around 20 minutes.

Can I breastfeed with my baby in the carrier?

Yes, it is possible and recommended. Once seated, loosen the shoulder straps to allow the baby access. Please remember to position your baby correctly again afterwards.

How do the Click-&-Go Buckles work?

Designed to keep your baby safe but still allow for smooth access for caregivers, you simply need to push both buttons and slide them up. Slightly raising your baby’s bottom as you do this will make the whole process easier.

Functionality

Why do I never have to adapt the back panel’s width?

Intuitive elasticated fabric contracts and stretches automatically to give your baby a snug fit from birth until they are 3 years old. 

Once I have adjusted the carrier straps, how can I store the loose ends?

One of the best features of the carrier is your ability to customize it to suit everyone, no matter their bulk. Once you have adjusted the shoulder and sternum straps plus the waistband, you can safely secure the leftover strap using the elastic band helpfully placed at the end of each strap.
