How do you use the baby carrier?
Follow the steps below to place your pet safely and comfortably in the 4LazyLegs carrier.
Five steps to bag your pet
- Pull the cord at the inside edge – on XS and older models, the cord is at the front, on other models at the back.
- Lift your pet with one hand and pull the bag open with the other.
- Lower your pet into the bag.
- Tighten the cord on the outer edge so that your pet sits comfortably but securely.
- Attach the strap inside to your pet’s collar or harness.
Tip: first practise sitting on a chair with treats attached before standing up.
Let your pet settle down
Is your pet not yet used to the carrier? Start slowly:
- Sit on a chair and place the carrier open on your lap.
- Take your pet on your lap in the carrier – without putting the strap on.
- When your pet is calm (biscuits always help!) you can put the carrier strap over your head.
The bag can be worn on the hip or on the belly. Using the cords, adjust the size to fit your pet – a rolled up towel can help if your pet is too small for it.
Safety advice and maintenance
Read this advice carefully before using the baby carrier.
Which movements are safe with the baby carrier?
Any movement you or your pet make can upset your balance. Always be careful, especially on stairs or in crowded environments. Make sure your pet can breathe freely and never wear the bag under a coat.
When should I NOT use the baby carrier?
The use of the baby carrier is not allowed during:
- Cycling or scooter riding
- Driving in a car
- Cooking or in the kitchen
- Exercising or intense exercise
In all these situations, it can be dangerous for you and your pet.
How do I use the safety clip correctly?
Attach the strap inside the bag to your pet’s collar or harness. Hold the black clip flat against your pet’s back or chest. Check the clip regularly for wear and tear and replace it when in doubt.
How do I wash the baby carrier?
The baby carrier is machine washable at 40°C on a delicate or wool wash setting. Preferably use a laundry bag to protect the clip and cords. Let the bag air dry.
How often should I inspect the baby carrier?
Regularly inspect the carrier bag for wear, loose seams or damaged cords. Pay particular attention to the last 10 cm of the sling – never use it if there is no spare. If in doubt, stop using it and contact us.
What is the maximum temperature for my pet?
Keep a close eye on your pet’s body temperature. In hot weather, the carrier can retain heat. Never wear the bag under a coat and avoid direct sunlight in hot weather. Stop if your pet shows signs of overheating.
