How To Use

The Scootababy carrier was designed to be quick and easy to use — here's how it works.

(The denim shoulder straps are not intended to be detached from the Scootababy strap adjusters. Straps should remain attached to the fleece shoulder panel.)

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6
Steps 1 to 3
Place baby seat in desired position over the right or left hip. Buckle waist belt and tighten securely around waist. The small sliding pad can be placed on the opposite hip for comfort. Adjust the denim strap lengths. It's easiest to tighten the strap in back to the final desired length, and loosen the strap in front... so only the front strap needs to be adjusted while baby is in the carrier. Position baby squarely over the seat and hold baby with arm on same side.
Steps 4 to 6
Pull the seat up behind baby's back and make sure baby is seated deeply. Hold the fleece panel with your opposite hand and pull the loop over your arm, the baby, and your own head. Position the fleece panel so that it lays flat and cups your shoulder. Tighten the denim straps by pulling the ends downward to take out the slack and hold baby snug. You may need to adjust the strap lengths to center the fleece over your shoulder for comfort.

Alternate methods

Putting baby in

  1. Buckle waist belt securely around waist, placing baby seat in desired position over the right or left hip.
  2. Loosen the denim straps as necessary. Pull the loop over your arm and head, positioning the fleece panel so that it lays flat and cups your shoulder.
  3. Lift baby up and place baby into the seat by holding baby with one hand and using the other hand to guide baby's legs through the openings. Make sure baby is seated securely with the carrier pulled all the way up behind baby's back.
  4. Tighten the denim straps by pulling the ends downward.

Taking baby out

  1. Loosen the strap in front of your chest by lifting up on the rounded tab of the Scootababy buckle.
  2. Pull the loop over your head and over the baby, while holding onto baby, to completely release the carrier.

Taking baby out – younger babies

  1. Loosen the strap in front of your chest by lifting up on the rounded tab of the Scootababy buckle.
  2. Lift baby out from the top of the carrier. (This works best with smaller babies.)

Taking baby out – older babies

  1. Undo the side-release buckle on the waist belt, while holding onto baby with one arm.
  2. Lower baby out from underneath the carrier. (This method is great for toddlers.)
