Q: Is the Neko Switch suitable for newborns?
Yes, the Neko Switch Baby Carrier adjusts down small enough to fit a newborn from approx. 3.5kg, without the need for a bulky insert. The panel height and width can be easily adapted as your baby grows, giving you a safe and ergonomic fit from the very beginning.
Q: How long can I use the Neko Switch?
The Neko Switch grows with your child from around 3.5kg up to 15kg (roughly 2-3 years old). This means one carrier can take you through the newborn stage, babyhood, and right into toddlerhood.
Q: What carrying positions does the Neko Switch offer?
The Neko Switch allows for front carrying (tummy to tummy) from newborn, and back carrying once your baby can sit independently (around 6 months+).
Q: Can the shoulder straps be crossed?
Yes. The Neko Switch gives you the choice between wearing the straps in an H-style backpack position or crossed in an X position. This flexibility makes it easier to share between caregivers and find the most comfortable fit.
Q: Is the Neko Switch Baby Carrier hip healthy?
Yes. The Neko Switch has been certified “hip healthy” by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. It supports your baby in the recommended “M position,” with knees higher than bottom in a spread squat position for healthy hip development and comfort.
Q: Is it comfortable for parents too?
Definitely. The Neko Switch has a padded waist belt and cushioned shoulder straps to evenly distribute your baby’s weight. Many parents find it comfortable for longer walks, as well as short daily use.
Q: How do I wash the Neko Switch?
The Neko Switch is machine washable on a gentle cycle. We recommend using mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners, and line drying to preserve the strength and softness of the woven fabric.
The certificate of compliance with safety norms PD CEN/TR 16512:2015 and ASTM F2236 - 16a
