*The TICKS rule for baby carrier safety

Tight

The carrier should be tight with your child positioned high and upright with head support. Any loose fabric may cause your baby to slump down, restricting its breathing.

In view at all times

You should always be able to see your baby’s face by simply looking down.

Ensure your child’s face, nose and mouth remain uncovered by the carrier or your body

Close enough to kiss

Your child should be close enough that you can easily kiss them. This ensures that they are within a safe range for breathing and allows you to easily monitor their well-being.

Keep chin off chest

Ensure your child's airways is always clear. Their head should be positioned so they can breathe easily. Regularly check your child. 

Supported back

Your child's back should be supported in a natural position, ensure to always have one arm around them.

When bending over, support your child with one hand behind its back and bend at the knees, not at the waist.
