Safe Positioning of a Baby in a Sling or Carrier

• Ensure the baby is in an upright position (head up) so their airways are visible and unobstructed.

• Make sure the baby’s back is properly supported, and the carrier fabric snugly wraps around them.
• The baby’s legs should be slightly spread and supported from one knee to the other.
• If the baby cannot hold their head up independently, provide proper head support.
• For more details, please refer to the user manual.
• Neko slings and carriers are certified to comply with safety standards PD CEN/TR 16512:2015 and ASTM F2236-16a.
