A properly set up baby carrier ensures safety, promotes healthy development, provides comfort for both the baby and the parent, and helps avoid accidents or discomfort. This guide will help ensure the safety and support of the baby carrier, ergonomic positioning of baby and wearer as well as parents and baby's comfort.

Gojiberry Baby Carrier Front Carry and Back Carry Conversion
- The Gojiberry baby carriers can be worn in front carry or back carry configurations.
- To use the carrier in front carry position back strap remains fastened to the carrier, while the conversion to back carry
requires removal of the back strap.
Positioning Your Baby in Ergonomic 'M' Shape Position
- The front panel should help maintain a healthy “M” shape position of the baby's legs. This means the baby’s knees should be higher than their bottom, and their legs spread out naturally, preventing strain on the hips and ensuring proper joint development.
- Ensure that the panel flap does not cover or restrict the baby’s legs from moving freely. Their legs should hang naturally, with their knees supported in an ergonomic position.
Baby's head should be 'kissable'
- The front panel flap should never block the baby’s face, nose, or mouth. Always ensure that the baby’s airway is clear and that their face is visible to you at all times.
- Your baby’s head should be close enough to your chin that you can easily lean down and kiss the top of their head without straining your neck.
- This height ensures that the baby is positioned high on your chest, which is crucial for proper support, visibility, and safety.
- When the baby is high enough on your chest, it’s easier to monitor their breathing.
Gojiberry Baby Carrier Front Panel Flap Setting
- The baby's chin should not rest on their chest, as this can restrict their airway. Ensure there's at least two finger widths of space between the chin and chest to promote proper airflow.
- If your baby lacks full head control, the front panel flap should be high enough to support the back of their neck and head.
- The panel should be snug enough to support the baby’s torso without constricting their movement or breathing. You should be able to fit two fingers between the baby’s chest and the panel without too much slack.
