This will be amazingly snug and comfortable but remember — it’s a new experience for both you and your baby!
Make sure that baby is well-fed and not overtired when you first start using the carrier. Try practicing in front of the mirror.
If baby starts getting fussy, just take a deep breath and a few steps around the room until you’re both ready to continue.
Once positioned correctly, your baby should be snug against your body, high on your chest, enabling you to stand normally, just as if you were holding them in your arms.

Newborn Front Carry with an infant insert
The infant insert enables you to wear your baby before they can fit with their legs out of the carrier!
They can usually comfortably fit the seat of the carrier from knee-to-knee at around the 6 month mark!
Please note that all weight ranges are approximate - the most important factor when choosing which insert position to use is that your baby's legs are fully supported from knee-to-knee without overextending - their little legs should hang freely at the knee.
The included infant insert can be used in 2 positions.
