Warnings:

WARNING: The following warnings apply specifically for use with upright chairs or shopping carts:

• Prevent serious injury or death from falls or sliding out.
• Always secure the baby into the carrier with the "child safety restraints," and always secure the carrier into the upright chair (or shopping cart) as directed.
• NEVER use a tray, table, or other device to hold the child in an upright chair; the carrier must ALWAYS be properly attached to the chair.
• Baby must be able to sit upright without assistance before using this carrier with an upright chair (or shopping cart) to avoid possible back or neck injury.
• Continue to follow any and all instructions and warnings that are posted on the shopping cart.

Helpful Hints:

• The Infinity Carrier is actually five products in one: you can "wear" it as a baby carrier in three different positions, and you can use it to secure your child into a shopping cart or a dining room chair.
• Changing from one use to another is quite simple. You can carry baby in the carrier and quickly convert it to use in a shopping cart or on an upright chair, without removing baby from the carrier.
• Wearing the carrier high up on your chest (or back) will minimize the stress to your back.

1. Facing-In Position - Baby Facing Toward you:

• Keep baby in the "Face-In" position until they are able to hold their head upright. This position is great for bonding as it keeps baby in direct contact with you and close to your heart. In this position, you'll be able to easily interact and engage with baby while also enjoying the hands free convenience of your new carrier.
• Getting baby in and out of carrier can be a bit easier if you do so while seated. Until you become more familiar with your carrier, we recommend preparing for use over a soft surface.
• In the Facing-In Position only - The Bib/Hood (included with your carrier), can be used to protect your clothing (bib) or to protect your baby from the weather (hood).

Helpful Hints:

• A handy storage pocket located on the front of the carrier is perfect to store the bib/hood when it is not in use.

2. Facing-Out Position - Baby Facing Away from you:

• Once your baby is able to hold his/her head up, your baby is ready for a new adventure. This position allows the child to visually explore their surroundings while maintaining close contact with you.
• How do you know if your baby is riding at the right height in the front? - You should be able to till your head forward and kiss the top of your baby's head.

3. Backpack Position - Baby Facing Towards you:

• When your little one can fully sit up on his/her own, putting them on your back allows you to carry your baby comfortably for longer periods of time.
• First time users should be assisted by another person until they are comfortable fitting the carrier on their own.

4 & 5. Shopping Carts and Upright Chairs

• When your baby is able to sit upright on his/her own, this carrier will turn an upright chair into a secure seat for your baby, or any shopping cart into a more comfortable environment.
