Thank you
for deciding to use a Ruckeli baby carrier.
At Ruckeli, we prioritise all-round healthy and comfortable
carrying for both, parent and child. Being close to you will
give your child a feeling of warmth and security and enable
freedom of movement in everyday life. Our soft and skin fri-
endly materials will keep you both comfortable.
Your Ruckeli carrier enables you to carry your little one clo-
se to your chest, on your back or even on your hip on the
practical hipseat - Ruckeli’s special feature. The hipseat is
easily assembled by rolling the carrier into its waist pocket.
This way the Ruckeli is not only stored away elegantly but
also ready for action immediately to carry your child on your
hip in comfort.

Practice putting on the carrier with a cushion rst, so that
you can familiarise yourself with the dierent carries. In front
of a mirror is best. Once you are condent, practice using
the Ruckeli carrier with your baby while standing over a soft
surface or while sitting down. Tip: Babywearing consultants
and some midwives can oer further help.

Adjusting the width of the seat
For optimal spread-squat-positioning it is possible to adjust
the width of the seat into 3 dierent setting. Open 2 but-
tons at most (!) on each side of the insert to make it narrow
enough for a newborn. Simply fold the loose ends to the
outside. The position of the buttons always stays the same
and never moves. Note: Do not position your baby in the
opening between insert and carrier
Tip 1: Adjust
the seat wide
enough to
reach from
knee to knee
on your child.
