Using the T.I.C.K.S rule when carrying
The T.I.C.K.S rule is a checklist created by the UK Sling Consortium. The guideline helps parents to ensure they position their baby safely with in the carrier. You should always follow the T.I.C.K.S rule when using any Najell Baby Carrier
T.I.C.K.S stands for:
Tight
Your baby carrier should be worn tight so that you are able to hug your baby close. Making the baby carrier more comfortable for you and your baby. If the baby carrier is loose it will allow your baby to slump down, hindering their breathing and pulling the weight onto your back.

In view at all times
You should always be able to see your baby’s face without having to adjust baby carrier's fabric. When in the cradle position your baby should face upwards and not be turned inwards to your body.

Close enough to kiss
Your baby’s head should be comfortably close to your chin. You should be able to kiss your baby on the head or forehead just by tipping your head forward.

Keep chin off the chest
The baby should never curl inwards so that their chin is forced onto their chest, potentially restricting their breathing. Make sure they always have a space of at least a finger width under your baby’s chin.

Supported back
When back carrying, the baby should be held close to the wearer so that their back is supported in its natural position. Their tummy and chest should also be against you. If it's too loose they can slump, risking their airways becoming partially closed. You can test this by placing a hand on your baby’s back and pressing gently - they should not uncurl or move closer to you. When in the cradle position their bottom should be in the deepest part. This prevents the baby from folding in half and their chin from pressing against their chest.

Adjusting your Najell Easy vol. 2
Najell Easy vol. 2 Baby Carrier features adjustable sliders on the front panel, near your baby’s tummy, and on the upper part of the waist belt. Adjusting these lets you:
Adjust the panel width as your baby grows – make it smaller for newborns to achieve perfect knee-to-knee support, and widen it as your baby gets bigger for a comfortable sitting position.
Modify the width of the front panel to match your baby’s sitting position, making forward-facing carrying easier.
Ensure maximum comfort for both you and your baby
