What Is a Carry Cot?
A carry cot is a flat newborn attachment designed to support your baby during the early months when a lie-flat position is recommended.
Unlike upright stroller seating, a carry cot provides full-body support and a more enclosed environment for rest during outings.
Why This Matters
In the newborn stage, babies need consistent support for their head, neck, and spine.
A flat resting position supports natural alignment and allows more comfortable rest during longer outings.
As part of a coordinated system, the carry cot works directly with the stroller frame without needing separate compatibility checks or additional equipment.
Why Use a Carry Cot for Newborns
- Supports a flat, natural resting position
- Provides a stable and enclosed environment
- Allows comfortable rest during outings
- Works directly with the stroller system
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Attach the Carry Cot
- Align the carry cot with the stroller frame
- Lower it onto the attachment points
- Press down until you hear a click on both sides
2. Confirm Secure Attachment
- Gently lift upward to confirm it is locked
- Ensure all locking points remain engaged
3. Position Your Baby
- Lay your baby flat on their back

Do not add loose blankets, cushions, or additional padding inside the carry cot.

When to Use the Carry Cot
