How does the Amya Carrier ergonomically support my baby?
Your Amya 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 shape, More information about body positions and shapes can be found in our user guide. Specially designed padding helps redistribute the weight away from your neck, shoulders and back. A well-padded waist belt perfectly supports your lower back and provides optimal lumbar support.
What are the possible carry positions and when should I use them?
