Aprica's current product-page lower guideline.
Long-use carrier family.
Different configurations by developmental stage.
For a Japanese baby carrier, check starting weight, age / weight limit, required inserts or pads, carry direction and caregiver waist range.
Why carrier setup matters
Aprica's Koala family uses more than one carrying mode. Newborn carrying and later upright carrying are not the same setup, so a used or imported carrier should include the required components and instructions.
Current official points

Bottom line
Koala is a good Japan-market example of why baby carriers should be bought by exact mode, component set and child range, not just by brand.
