General

What does it mean to be SG certified?

The CYBEX Coya carrier is SG certified. Safe Goods certification is the benchmark system for the quality, safety and reliability of products. It was introduced to Japan to ensure these factors were recognized across the globe as a standard of their quality. The Consumer Product Safety Association (CPSA) operates the Japanese SG Mark system. As part of our global quality standards, we are totally committed to ensure that our products comply with standards set in the Safe Goods (SG) certification scheme and others worldwide. They focus on the quality of the products overall, how safe they are, ease of use, how adequate displays are and the instruction manual.

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

Build that special connection with your baby using the front inward carry position from birth until 3 years. Designed to give maximum support to their neck, this position keeps your baby closest of all. 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. No matter which position you choose with the Coya carrier, your baby’s hips are kept in a hip-healthy M shape and the back panel’s fabric stretches to support the spine, mimicking its natural curved C position.

How does the carrier ergonomically support my baby?

Your Coya 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 50 cm and weighs 3.2 kg, you can begin your adventures with the Coya 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. 

Is the carrier designed for all body types?

Your comfort is paramount and the Coya carrier has been designed to ensure this. Having your baby in the correct position to provide the best weight distribution is the first step. The shoulder straps can be connected to either the front panel or the waist belt and you should try both to find the one which suits you best.  The waistbelt 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.

My Coya Carrier buckles are slightly scuffed, will it affect their performance?

Thanks to their clever design and high-quality materials, your original buckles will last for countless adventures with your Coya Carrier. As you’ll be using our carrier so often some signs of use may occur on the buckles due to repeated use, each one a lasting memory of a journey with your little one. However, they are not visible when the buckles are closed and will not affect the functionality of your Coya Carrier in any way.

Usage

How does the sternum strap benefit me?

The sternum strap is used to improve the integrity of the structure and helps to 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.

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. You can also use the hood to shelter your baby from the world as they feed. Please remember to position your baby correctly again afterwards.

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.

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. 

How can I use the hood?

Not only does the hood look great, but it also has several practical uses too. You can roll it up to support your newborn’s neck and head. It helps to shelter your little one from the outside world and the elements, also a great help when breastfeeding. With UPF 50+ sun protection and a 3D mesh sun visor, it’ll keep your baby safely out of the sun’s harmful glare.
