Using the baby carrier is easy. First, make sure it's adjusted properly to fit your body. You can carry your baby facing you or forward, depending on your preference. For safety, always double - check that the anti - slipping parts are in place and the baby is secure. When your baby is in the carrier, ensure the weight is evenly distributed. When it comes to maintenance, you can spot - clean the carrier with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid soaking it for too long. Also, store it in a dry and cool place when not in use. Remember, this carrier is suitable for babies aged 3 - 18 months and can hold up to about 20 kg, so don't exceed the weight limit.
