How-to: Wearing your asian style baby carrier

Infant Front Carry
Step 1: With the inside of the carrier facing your stomach, position the waist band at your hips. Tie the waist strap behind your back, just above the hips.


Step 2: Drape the shoulder straps over your shoulders

Step 3:
Pop the baby in facing you.


Step 4: Supporting the baby with one hand, reach behind your back and pull one strap around to the front (crossing over your back). Switch hands and do the same on the other side.



Step 5:
Taking the straps ends in both hands (baby is now fully supported by the sling), tie behind the baby's back.


You're done!


To use the sleeping head support, simply pull it up and wrap the ribbon around the button to hold it in place.

Toddler Rear Carry

Step 1: With the inside of the carrier facing your back, tie the waist straps in the front.

Step 2: Put the toddler on the back of your hip, facing the same direction as you, and pull the carrier up over their back. (Note: You may want to try this sitting in a chair until you get the hang of it!)


Step 3: Take the straps in front of you (crossed in front or backpack style) and pull them back around behind the toddler, crossing them behind her back.

Step 4: Tie the straps back in front of you.
