How it fits & safe use

The Bibbito Head Cushion is a soft plush cushion worn like a tiny backpack that rests behind your baby's head during the sitting and learning-to-walk stage. Here's how to put it on, how it fits and when to take it off. It's for awake, supervised, upright play, with you close by.

Putting it on in 3 steps

  1. Arms through the straps. Slip your baby's arms through the straps, just like a mini backpack. The straps go over the shoulders, never around the neck.
  2. Fasten the chest strap. Close the strap across the chest, then check that the straps lie flat and feel comfortable, never tight.
  3. Check the cushion. Make sure the cushion rests behind your baby's head and the straps lie flat over the shoulders. Then enjoy playtime together, with you close by.

To take it off, unfasten the chest strap and slide the straps off one arm at a time. Please also follow the instructions and warnings on the product label.
