Description
A step-by-step for putting on the Najell Mirage with a small baby. It’s a half-buckle carrier, usable from birth at 3.2 kg, and the small-baby setup is mostly about getting the panel narrow and the flap right before baby goes in.
You start by sliding the panel to its smallest width and folding the flap to the inside. The waist belt goes on high, with the loops already tied around the shoulder straps. From there the straps go over your shoulders, cross at the back, come to the front and feed through the loops. Then baby goes in, legs guided to either side, the loose fabric goes back, you pull tight at the side, and tie off with a double knot under the legs. With a small baby the positioning check at the end is the part that matters most.

✅ With a small baby, check carefully:
Close enough to kiss, head just below your chin
Chin off the chest, a finger’s width of room
Face clear and in view, nothing against it
Knees higher than the bum, back nicely rounded
