Tried asking in 'slings' but AIBU really does have the audience !!

We've got a Chicco Caddy backpack carrier - does anyone know how to unfold the stand on this blasted backpack !! Can't find any instructions online and it's only borrowed so can't be too aggressive with pulling and pushings bits !

Thanks
xx

YABU.

Is it better if I ask AIBU to throw this (borrowed) backpack out the window then !! Grin

Ooh it's really tricky. There is a button on each side of the standy bit. Press both buttons, which allow you to pull the plastic bits they are set in. Pulling them lets you unfold the stand.

Make sense?

And yes YABU.

(pull towards you I think).

Chuck it out and buy a wrap sling instead is my advice Grin

oooh you're clever! I've now managed to fold down the actual seat bar to make the whole unit smaller but, still can't get the stand to open ???

Oh. Sorry. Wrong instructions. I would get ours to have a look but it is underneath loads of stuff in a cupboard and I am 38 weeks pregnant, so I frankly can't be bothered... does it have bits that pull down at the back but with no buttons?

AIBU to say, OP: if you borrowed it, can't you just ask the folk you borrowed it from ...? [runs and hides]

ok I went to look because it was bugging me. There is a plastic cuff bit on the right hand standy bit (if the backpack is facing away from you with the straps on the side furthest away). Press the button and pull it downwards. Ours is quite stiff. You should be able to pull the stand out now.

YABU. Get a Connecta or Ergo.

Superb - plantsitter you are wonderful !

Cruella - borrowed it from our childminder who I think has only recently been given it and didn't know how to do it herself - now I will be able to return it with not only my thanks but also a little knowledge from plantsitter (and more than likely a bottle of something)!

Off we go to Normandy - climbing Mont St Michel will be a little more convenient now we can use the carrier to its full potential !

Well I am glad you got it sorted out - the power of Mumsnet! Enjoy your hol.
