The squat-splay position promotes the healthy development of the spine and hips. It represents the orthopedically recommended position for your baby during the entire carrying time.

The squat-splay position, also known as M-position, is a natural position where the baby's legs are bent and spread out to the sides. This position resembles the position of the baby's legs in the uterus and promotes the healthy development of the hip joints by bringing the hip joint into an optimal position to prevent hip dysplasia and other issues. Especially in the first months of life, it is important to carry babies – in a baby carrier or in your arms – in this position and to ensure that it is executed correctly to ideally support the hips.

The perfect squat-spread position

The strap of the baby carrier extends from one knee pit to the other. The bottom is positioned lower than the knees, so that the bent legs and the bottom – when viewed from behind – form an M. The hips slide forward, creating a smooth curve in the back.
