Safety Tips

The Peanut Shell® safety tips
Please use common sense while wearing the Peanut Shell® and remember that a baby (or two) is inside! The following tips are important to keep in mind at all times while wearing your baby:

• When putting the baby in the Peanut Shell® always make sure that you are supporting your baby with at least one arm at all times until you are certain the sling is in place.
• Be sure to keep baby away from hot stoves, heaters, fireplaces or other hot or sharp objects. Pay attention to what your baby is doing at all times!
• Bend at the knees, not at the waist, and support baby in the sling with one hand.
• Please remember that toddlers, if worn, are at your reaching level and love the new freedom to grab potentially dangerous objects off shelves.
• When going through doorways or around corners, please use extreme caution that baby's body and head does not stick out past your arm and  strike the wall or doorjamb.
• Wear baby cautiously in the kitchen. Do not wear baby while cooking or working with sharp or hot objects.
• Do not ride a bicycle or any other "cycle" while wearing your baby. Baby carriers are not substitutes for an approved car seat.
