5.2 Checklist
After fitting for safety purposes and for the optimum safety of the child
check once more that:
- the hip strap has been tightened properly, is not twisted and the hip clasp is
fastened,
- the child is sitting properly in the middle of the seat,
- all clasps are fastened securely,
- the shoulder strap is not twisted and has been adjusted to the correct length,
- the shoulder protector is positioned properly in the centre of the shoulder.
Warning:
- If the carrier strap and the child are positioned correctly, the weight should be
distributed properly. If the shoulder weight is too great, it may be the case that either
the hip strap is not tight enough or that the shoulder strap has been adjusted too
tightly. The hip strap should also not be positioned too high up the waist.
- If you are unable to fasten the clasps properly, under no circumstances should the
Quinny Curbb be used.
- Always use the shoulder protector; this is important for the weight distribution.
- Never let your child play with the fasteners.
5 CARRYING THE CHILD
4.1 Getting ready
How to use the seat insert
- Important! Make the carrier smaller for babies from 6 months up to 1 year of
age using the seat insert.
1. The seat part can be made smaller by the use of the seat insert. Attach the seat
insert at the top by putting the Velcro fastenings through the loops and fastening
them. Do the same at the bottom (ill. 1).
2. When using the seat insert, the leg opening may be decreased in size. While the
child is in the carrier, push the Velcro fastenings through the loops on the sides of
the seat insert and close them. Do this on both sides (ill. 3).

child. For this see also the label on the inside of the carrier strap.
- NOTE! When using the Quinny Curbb the child should be able to support
his/her own head.
3. Fold the hip strap around the hips. The Velcro fastening should be on the left to
carry the child on the right hip (ill. 3).
4. Pull the hip strap tight (ill. 4).
4. Fasten the clasp and then tighten the strap again securely (ill. 5).
6. Hook the strap into the strap clip (ill. 6).
- NOTE! Make sure that the hip strap is not twisted.
