- PHOTO TUTORIAL: Instructions for tying this carry using a woven wrap
|
Though my model is a big kid, this
carry works beautifully with any baby in
an upright position. These instructions are for use with a woven wrap, not a stretchy wrap.
 |
 |
| Place the middle of your wrap over one shoulder. |
Bring both sides of the wrap around to cross at
your opposite hip. |
 |
 |
| Bring both sides of the wrap around your waist to
the opposite hip. |
Tie at right hip, or wrap around again to tie at
left hip. |
 |
 |
| Lift your baby or child up to your shoulder, and
lower her left leg into the strap on your right. |
Now lower your child's right leg into the strap
on your left. |
 |
 |
| Spread the inner strap out to form a seat under
your child's bottom. |
Continue spreading all the way from her right
knee to left knee and up her back. |
|
 |
| Spread the outer strap likewise from knee to
knee, under baby and up her back. |
Crosses should make a seat underneath her with
her knees held up. |
The crosses can be
further spread to cover
her arms and shoulders for better cuddling.
