How to use the hood on your Kinderpack baby carrier

Collage of directions for using your Kinderpack hood. Text reads How to use your Kinderpack hood.

 

Every Kinderpack carrier comes with an attached hood tucked into the headrest pocket. Your full panel carrier has a hood in the same fabric as the rest of the body. Your Kinderpack with Koolnit will have a hood in the Koolnit fabric.

One of the most asked questions we receive from new Kinderpackers is, "How do I use the hood correctly?" In just a few simple steps, you can have the best fit on your hood and have your child well supported during a nap or shielded from the elements. 

STEP 1

Pull the hood out of the pocket inside the curved headrest

STEP 6

Check that your child is resting on your chest and that their airway is clear. You should be able to get two fingers under their chin and the straps should not cover their face.
