So many straps. So many ways to wear a baby. Whether you’re a new parent or a buyer explaining the product to your customers, this complete guide shows you how to safely use a baby wrap, sling, front carrier, and back carrier—with easy-to-follow steps.
No stress. Just comfort and connection.
1.How to Use a Baby Carrier (Front Carry)
Steps:
1.Buckle the waist strap snugly around your hips.
2.Hold your baby upright against your chest.
3.Pull the soft panel up behind your baby’s back.
4.Slip your arms through the shoulder straps like a backpack.
5.Reach behind and fasten the chest buckle.
6.Adjust all straps until your baby is snug and close enough to kiss.
2.How to Use a Baby Carrier (Back Carry)
Steps:
1. Buckle the waist strap on the side of your body, not on your back.
2. Gently place your baby on the carrier panel, with their legs straddling your waist.
3. Raise the back panel over the baby’s back. First, put the shoulder strap on the arm opposite the baby.
4. Use that same arm to support the baby. With your free arm, reach over the baby’s head and slip it through the second shoulder strap.
Gently rock and shift the baby and carrier to your back.
5. Buckle the chest strap and adjust the tightness.
6. Tighten both shoulder straps to bring the baby close to your body and provide stable support for their back and hips.
3.How to Use a Baby Wrap
Steps:
1. Place the center label of the wrap at your abdomen and wrap the fabric around your waist.
2. Cross both sides behind your back and bring them over your shoulders.
3. Cross the straps again in front of your chest to form an “X”, and tuck both ends under the waistband.
4. Bring each end around your body to the back.
5. Bring them back to the front and tie a secure double knot.
6. Hold your baby upright and place them in the “X” section.
Both legs should go through the waistband so it can be pulled up properly.
7. Spread both shoulder panels over the baby for better support.
8. Finally, pull up the waistband to provide more stable and comfortable support.
4.How to Use a Baby Sling
Baby slings are quick and simple, with multiple carrying positions.
You only need to place your baby in the sling and find a comfortable position.
Then, pull the shoulder strap tight to give your baby a secure and stable hold.
Final Tips for All Carrying Methods
- Always ensure your baby’s face is visible and their airway is clear
- Make sure your baby’s chin is lifted off their chest
- Recheck tightness regularly, especially if baby moves or falls asleep
- Avoid outward-facing positions unless your baby is developmentally ready
