Using the hood

To attach the hood, feed the two 
short poppered ties through the 
loops on the body panel, just be-
low the shoulder straps and press 
to fasten.

Bring the hood over the back of your child’s head; feed 
each hood tie through the shoulder strap loops on each 
side. Adjust to create the necessary support and fasten the 
tie poppers as necessary. 

You can ruche the hood by using the draw strings to gain support as needed. You can also attach 
the hood on one side only to create the necessary support. Always ensure baby’s chin is off their 
chest, their mouth and nose are not pressed against anything and there is a good airflow. The 
hood can also be used on the back as well.
