Safety tips when using a baby backpack carrier: Part II

Check the baby backpack carrier before each use

Before bringing your baby out with your backpack carrier, always check for wear and tear damage such as ripped seams, frayed seats or straps and missing or loose fasteners. Frayed seams or ripped seams can give way suddenly with your baby still on the carrier. To be on the safe side, stop using the backpack carrier immediately once you find such damages.

Keep your baby's fingers away from moving parts

Babies love putting their fingers in every nook and cranny they can find, this includes their mouths and worse still, moving parts of the baby backpack, such as the frame joints, or fasteners. Make sure your baby's fingers aren't in any of those when you are setting up or folding the backpack. 

Take care of yourself, use proper lifting techniques

Carrying your baby around in a baby backpack carrier is similar to carrying a weight. When picking up the carrier, always bend your knees, not your waist.
