2. Intended use
The Germa Kangoofix system is designed to comfortably and safely hold a new born baby/child during transport,
together with a parent in close contact. The baby is held to the parent by attaching to the trolley harness on which the
parent is laid through the Kangoofix inner and outer harness system. As such it is not necessary to separate the parent
from the child when transporting from one location to another, ensuring that the parent and baby are comfortable,
content and safe together. If medical conditions require that the baby needs to be accessed quickly during transport, this
can be achieved by using the quick release feature. The baby can also be turned and held face-up in Kangoofix, for
monitoring by the paramedic during the journey, if required due to medical circumstances.
Important: In face-up direction it is important to have control over the baby's head at all times, only use this position
when medical monitoring is required.
