This is how you adjust the leg bar correctly!

In one of the last posts we explained to you what the M position is and why it is so important. Now we'll clarify how you can best adjust the bridge between the backs of your baby's knees.

Since a newborn automatically squats on its legs when lying on its back, it is a good idea to lay out the baby carrier on the changing table with the adjustment option facing inwards and position your baby on it. The knees are crouched at the height of the bridge setting.

Now you adjust the bridge, either with a ribbon or buttons, so that this area with the squatted legs extends from the back of the knee to the back of the knee. If your baby doesn't automatically pull his legs up at this moment, feel free to support this position by placing your palms under his feet and trigger the reflex.

Alternatively, you can measure the distance from the back of the knee to the back of the knee with a tape measure and adjust the measured width at the bar.

The best way to check whether your baby sits well in the carrier is in the mirror. Here you can see whether the bridge is wide enough and whether your baby's knees are higher than his bottom. A clear M position should be visible.

Check this setting regularly and adjust it several times a year depending on your child's growth. At the latest when you hit your baby's feet with your thighs while walking, you will notice that the bridge needs to be widened so that the knees are properly squatted again.
