Because of its elasticity, there are several ways to position the Sprout Shell in addition to the standard method. Once your baby is about 3 months old, he will probably want to look out at the world more.

  • The Half Method: Un-attach the bottom half and rest it over the handle. This creates a little extra protection than the sun shade alone, but allows baby to look out as well

  • The Side-to-Side Method: Un-attach cover from one side of the carrier only. This allows baby to look out, but still be protected from the sun or wind on the other side. Sprout Shell on one side of infant carrier
  • The “Anything-That-Works Method: Shifting the cover to whichever position and angle works for you and your baby at the time. You can also do this in the car by attaching cover to the foot-end of the carrier and bringing it over the handle only. This protects your baby from the sun coming in the side or back window.
