Take the male buckle (including extra strap length) through the elastic safety loop.
Secure the waist belt by fastening the buckle until it clicks.
Tighten the waist belt by pulling on the adjustable black strap until it sits tightly above hips. Tuck the excess lengths of the black strap in the storage loop.
Ensure that before beginning, the shoulder straps are adjusted to be as long as possible and buckles are unfastened. Lift the body panel up by placing the left shoulder strap on your left shoulder.
Pull the left shoulder strap across your back.
Take the entire male buckle of the left shoulder strap (including extra strap length) through the elastic safety loop attached to the female buckle on the right side of the body panel.
Feed the male buckle of the left shoulder strap into the female buckle on the right side of the body panel until it clicks.
Pick up your child and position the child on your right side.
Use your right hand to support your child facing inwards, while using the other hand to slip the child’s right leg between the panel and your body.
Use your left hand to support your child, while using the other hand to slip the child’s left leg underneath the strap already buckled to the side of the body panel.

While still holding the child with your left hand, pull the right shoulder strap over your right shoulder.
Pull the right shoulder strap across your back.

Pull the body panel up from its upper edge to make sure there are no pleats on it.
Tighten both side straps simultaneously. Make sure your child is comfortable and not too tightly pressed up against your body. Allow room for the child’s head movement.
Ensure the child’s back is slightly rounded while sitting in the carrier. Make sure your child’s bottom is deep in the carrier’s body panel just above the waist belt. You and your child are ready to go.
You can diminish excess strap length by rolling up the strap and securing it with the elastic storage loop attached to the end of the strap.
