Place the carrier’s body panel on the left side of your body, leaving the waist belt buckle on the right side of your body.

Take the male buckle (including extra strap length) through the elastic safety loop.

Secure the waist belt by fastening the buckle until it clicks.

Slightly tighten the waist belt by pulling on the adjustable strap.

Grab the shoulder strap and pull the upper black strap attached to the shoulder strap fully through the slider.This will make the shoulder strap shorter.

Place both elastic loops over the button to secure the excess fabric.

Take the male buckle of the same strap entirely through the elastic safety loop (including extra strap length) and feed it into the female buckle placed on the same side of the body panel (no crossing).

Feed the male buckle into the female buckle until it clicks. Now, repeat the same procedure with the other strap. Both shoulder straps should be adjusted at the same length.

Pick up your child and lean sideways slightly while holding the child on your left side.

Lift the panel up behind the child’s back, while simultaneously ensuring that the bum is centered in the panel.

With your left hand, hold both straps together around your child’s neck. Allow room for the child’s head movement.

While holding both straps together with your left hand, use your right hand to hold the waist belt and rotate the carrier around your waist.

Maintaining a slight forward lean, take the right strap into your right hand and the left strap into your left hand.

Slip your left arm through the left strap as though you were putting on a backpack. Keep holding it with your left hand.

Now slip your right arm through the right strap. Keep holding it with your right hand.

Ensure that your child’s arms can move freely.

Tighten the waist belt by pulling on the adjustable black straps until it sits tightly above your hips. Tuck the excess lengths of waist strap in the storage loop.

Optional: Use one of Artipoppe’s silk scarfs as a chest belt for extra comfort.

While holding the left strap in your left hand, grab the right strap from your right shoulder and hold it tight. Slip your right arm through as though you were taking off a backpack. Keep holding the right strap with your right hand tight and up high above your shoulder.
