How the KiBi carrier grows?

Our main goal during the designing of the KiBi carrier was to ensure that it grows with your child so that you can use it to carry your child for as long as possible.

Small babies who are not able to sit on their own because the muscles along their spines are not strengthened enough must be placed in the carrier with the utmost care. There are several rules that should be kept. Their legs should not be hanging down freely. The thighs should be supported, the legs should be spread wide and the knees should be higher than the bottom. This position is beneficial for the hips, which are not under any stress and can develop in a healthy way. When the legs are positioned carefully, it influences the posture of the whole body -- the back is rounded and rests comfortably against the fabric of the backrest. Until the child can sit on their own, the backrest should reach up to their neck. Their hands should be tucked inside the carrier so that the spine does not bend backwards. This is why the backrest must be sufficiently wide under the legs and also high enough to support the whole back. As soon as the child learns to sit on their own it is not necessary to support their back so carefully. However, when the backrest can reach high enough, carrying can be comfortable even for bigger children and for longer periods of time.

How the KiBi grows?

The width of the backrest

You can regulate the width of the backrest with the press studs located on the upper rim of the waistband.

If you start carrying your baby while it is still small, undo all the studs and only do up the last one in the narrowest position. The excess cloth can be fastened by the inbuilt clamp. As your child grows, you can add the studs one by one, so that the cloth always reaches all the way to their knees.

If the cloth is too loose around the knees and does not hold them up high enough, you can pull it higher with a black strap on the very edge of the backrest.

The width of the carrier can be adjusted from approximately 31 cm to 51 cm.

The height of the backrest

The upper part of the backrest is loosely threaded on the shoulder straps so that you can pull it up or down at will. The height of the backrest can be adjusted from the basic 32 cm up to 52 cm.If you need to secure the backrest at a specific height you can simply hook the two snap hooks on the sides of the upper rim of the backrest into pre-prepared loops on the shoulder straps. We have learned from experience that when carrying the smallest babies in the front it is not necessary to secure the backrest. You will need it when you start carrying bigger children on your back.The KiBi carrier is very practical for carrying children in the front. As soon as the child falls asleep, you can pull the backrest up over their head and thus secure it from reclining. Pulling the backrest up is noiseless and very easy.
