PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF TULA EXPLORE CARRIER:
Read all instructions before assembling and using the soft carrier. Practice putting on your Carrier
before using.
Never use this product when balance or mobility is impaired because of exercise, drowsiness, or
medical conditions. Never use this product while engaging in activities such as cooking and cleaning
which involve a heat source or exposure to chemicals. Never wear a soft carrier while driving or being a
passenger in a vehicle. Be careful when drinking hot beverage to avoid spilling hot drinks onto the baby
while using the carrier. Never unbuckle the waist belt while the baby is in the Carrier. Be aware that as
the baby becomes more active, the child has more risk of falling out of the carrier. Only carry one child at
a time in the baby carrier.
Baby's chin should NEVER rest on baby's chest because this partially closes baby's airway. There
should always be at least two fingers width clearance beneath baby's chin. Wearer must be sure that
baby's airway is clear and that baby is breathing normally at ALL TIMES. Premature infants, infants
with respiratory problems, and infants under 4 months are at greatest risk of suffocation. Ensure
proper placement of baby in product including leg placement. The baby's position should be checked
regularly to make sure that the baby is comfortable and properly seated in the Carrier, centered with legs
extended and head upright and not slumping downward or to the side. Baby's arms, legs and feet need
to be observed regularly while in the Carrier to ensure that they are not constricted by the Carrier. The
carrier must be worn in such a way that a baby can move his head without pressing his face onto your
body. When using the hood, please ensure that the hood is NOT completely covering baby's face and
check on your baby regularly. Be sure that there is enough opening for air to pass through. Ensure that
baby's fingers are not caught in a buckle opening or gap as this may cause injury to the baby. Always
fasten the buckles properly when the carrier is not in use. Keep the carrier away from children when it is
not in use. The face of the child shall be close to the wearer's face when in an inward facing position.
Check to assure all buckles, snaps, straps and adjustments are secure before each use. Regularly
inspect the carrier for any sign of wear and damage. Never use a carrier when damaged in any way.
Check for ripped seams, torn straps or fabrics and damaged fasteners before each use. Regularly check
straps and buckles while in use to make sure they have proper tension and placement.
