Transit, travel, hiking; transitions, packability, and strap interference with bags.
Follow six evidence-based, timed checks to keep a newborn’s airway open and hips healthy, with practical benchmarks like two‑finger chin clearance, knees‑above‑bottom M‑positioning, quick TICKS setup, and an 8‑second emergency release.
Use real-world, timed tips to secure the M-position fast during bus stops, security lines, and grocery aisles - protecting developing hips and preserving naps. Apply simple tests and benchmarks to choose and use carriers that keep knees above bottom, even one-handed.
Timed, real-world tests show where stretchy wraps trade speed for airway risk and when woven wraps provide stable, cooler support from newborn to toddler. Learn the three-layer rule, realistic weight limits, and scenario-based guidance to choose and tie safely.
