Putting on the Kari Me is easier than you think. It takes a few steps and less than one minute to tie the basic knot. Many people remember the instructions after the first go. Others will have to practise with the manual 2-3 times.
Some people find it helpfull to put on the Kari Me in front of the mirror for the first few times.
Yes of course! the Kari Me is excellent for heavy babies and is recommended for up to 15 kilogrammes. Kari Me has good weight distribution with more weight supported by the waists releasing pressure from the shoulders and back. That means you will be able to carry your baby for long period of times. It's unique design and flexibility allows you to adapt it to the baby's size.
Kari Me has been rigorously tested by STR (Specialised Technology Resources, UK) for safety and has successfully met all the requirements according to the draft EU standard for child carriers safety requirements and test methods.
You should always read and follow the safety instructions written in the instruction booklet.
Try to tie the carrier tighter before putting your baby in the carrier. The carrier should be close to your body and not loose. Many parents think they should tie it loose to leave space for the baby. This is a mistake: Kari Me's fabric is very flexible and will create the right space for the baby. The heavier the baby, the tighter the carrier should be.
