Yes, but it’s vital that you child’s neck muscles be sufficiently strong before you begin carrying him/her facing forward in the baby carrier. When your baby is a newborn,and during the first months of life, you should carry him/her facing you, belly against belly, with the head support unfolded (up). When children are able to support their own heads, they will begin to show an interest in what’s going on around them and want to look forward. To make things simple for you and your child, all you have to do to carry your child facing forward is fold downthe baby carrier’s head support.

We recommend, in accordance with advice from the pediatricians we work with, that you carry your child facing you until around the age of four months –or until the child’s neck muscles are strong enough to fully support his/her head. When children are able to hold their heads up without assistance, they begin takingan interest in what’s going on around them. Most show great pleasure and delight in being carried facing forward.

From around four months of age, wanting to see what is going on around him/her and trying to turn around to see more is a natural phase in the child’s development.The idea that a child at this stage might become over-stimulated whencarried looking forward is, according to child psychologists and pediatricians, not reasonable. On the contrary, experts agree that discovering new things with one’s back resting closely against mom or dad gives the child a sense of safety and pleasure.

Moreover, your child will let you know if he or she is tired or cranky. A child who is tired due to new impressions will fall asleep, get upset or agitated. In both cases, all you need to do is simply lift your child out of the baby carrier into bed or the stroller. During the very first months, however, you should not carry your child facing forward at all, as the child’s neck muscles are not sufficiently developed to support his/her head.

Yes. An upright positionthat provides free airways, freedom of movement for the legs and arms, as well as ample support for the neck and head is, according to pediatricians, the vital and optimal position for newborns. Baby Carrier Miracle meets all the essential orthopedic requirements for small children, and the child’s hips, legs and back are in the same position as when you carry your child in your arms.

Baby Carrier Miracle was developed in collaboration with pediatricians to meet the specific needs of delicate newborns. For the newborn, the free passage of air is extremely important. That’s why it is essential that the baby carrier provides sufficient support, keeps the child upright and doesn’t allow his/her body to slump. In Baby Carrier Miracle, the head and neck support, and the upright position,whichallows for the free passage of air, are optimally suited to the newborn’s little body.

In designing Baby Carrier Miracle,our starting point was the newborn, when body and eye contact with the parent are the most essential.During the first months of life, among other things, the child is particularly in need of clear airways as well as head and neck support.During the first year of life, most children triple in weight.

At 15 months, children weigh around 26.5 lbs/12 kg. Many have already begun walking and now want to do so without help. 

You can carry your child in the baby carrier for as long as he or she is content. However, small children should not remain still in the same position for longer periods of time. We recommend that you keep a close eye on your baby’s signals and switch between the baby carrier and, for example, a bouncer, stroller or cradle/crib.

Yes, it’s fine for your child to sleep in the baby carrier.Here, your child feels closeness, warmth and the sound of your heartbeat, just like in the womb. That’s why many children are gently cradled to sleep in their baby carriers.Your sleeping child may be carried in the baby carrier for as long as he or she is content. However, small children should not rest in the same position for longer periods of time. That’s why we recommendthat you keep a close eye on your baby’s signals and switch between the baby carrier and, for example, a bouncer, stroller or cradle/crib. Because the baby carrier’sfront is entirely detachable, you can easily lay your sleeping childdown without waking him or her.

Yes, it’s possible to breastfeed while carrying your child ina BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier. Without undoing any buckles, simply let one of the shoulder straps slide off your shoulder. You might need to loosen the straps a bit so that your child can lean to one side. We recommend that you always sit down while nursing with a baby carrier.

Yes, carrying your child in a baby carrier such as Baby Carrier Miracle, where he/she is upright, can alleviate temporary stomach problems. Being carried, feeling the closeness and safety of mom or dad, may also have a soothing effect on your child.

For maximum comfort for baby and the person carrying:
1. Begin by adjusting the baby carrier to the child’s size (length). Follow the size instructions on the inside of the baby carrier to find the right fit.

2. Put on the vest and snap it onto the baby carrier’s front by fastening the double buckle. This is securely lockedin place when you hear separate clicksfromthe left and right clip.

3. Remember that you can choose how high you wish to carry your child by adjustinghow high you place the support belt. Small children are often carried higher than somewhat older children. However, take your cue from your child and what you yourself find most comfortable.

Baby Carrier Miracle is easily adjusted as your child grows. On the inside of the baby carrier’s front you will find instructions and an adjustment label (the size/length measures are approximate). Set the buckle to your child’s length (height). For safety reasons, the buckle is supposed to be a bit stiff to adjust.

The head support, which should be used until the child’s neck muscles are strong enough to stably hold up his/her head, is adjusted by tightening or loosening the short bands on each side of the top of the baby carrier. Make sure there is enough room around your child’s head for the free passage of air.

Adjust thesupport beltby pulling on the lower straps. To center the baby carrier, make sure the straps are the same length. Regulatethe distribution of weight by moving the back support up or down and loosening or tightening the shoulder straps.

You can evenadjust the back support while wearing the baby carrier by pushing the support upwards or pulling it downwards. If you pull down on the back support and loosen the shoulder straps, you will distribute more weight onto your hips and very little, if any, weight onto your back and shoulders.

The leg straps make the leg openings smaller and should be used when your child weighs between 8 lbs/3.5 kg and 10 lbs/4.5 kg. Fasten the loops,found on the vest just above the support belt’s buckle, onto the large buttons at the front of the baby carrier.

Yes. The fabrics in all our baby carriers comply with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1,(the category with the most rigorous requirements for babies). This means that they are free from health-hazardous substances and allergens. So you won’t have to wash the baby carrier all too often, it’s a good idea to use a BABYBJÖRN Bib for Baby Carrier (also Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1).

The baby carrier should be machine-washed, warm (104°F/40°C). Wash separately, using a gentle, bleach-free detergent. Do not tumble dry.
