*baby must be AT LEAST 7lbs/3.2kg, and able to be worn safely with the face visible above the head panel. Our Babywearing Consultants have found that it fits best from around 4 months of age due to a longer back panel and the width of the seat (even on its smallest setting). You must always ensure baby's face is visible and kissable, and airways remain unobstructed.
