The construction of the Cococho carrier features a dynamic waist belt that distributes the baby's weight around the parent's body and supports the baby's legs in the recommended M-position, allowing a healthy hip development as the baby grows.
The Cococho's waist belt is easy to attach and detach by zippers and is designed to fit your baby's size and development as follows:
For a newborn up to 6-8 weeks old, use the wide waist belt
setting and keep your baby's legs tucked inside the carrier in the natural
frog-leg position, with a narrow and natural leg spread, the legs bent, and the
knees higher than the buttocks. With Cococho, unlike with other carriers, your baby's weight won't "fall" on their legs when they are inside the carrier.
From 6-8 weeks, or earlier, if your baby keeps trying to straighten their legs in the carrier, switch to the narrow waist belt setting and start carrying your baby with a leg spread and the legs coming out above the waist belt. Your baby should be able to bend their knees comfortably.
For a big baby or a toddler that need wider thigh support and higher head support, switch back to the wider waist belt setting (and keep carrying your baby with a leg spread). With a toddler, the free top corners on both sides of the waist belt would fold out, helping to support your child's sitting position.
The leg spread around the adult's body significantly improves the baby's weight distribution; therefore, it is more ergonomic for the adult.
