so simple yet so perfect!!!

I am wondering if I could scoot my 2 month old boy on my back in this and then use the extra lenth or another short wrap to secure him on me better back there, maybe do a torso carry on top? he arches his back when i try to do back wraps. I have tried to do the sbwcc but it hurts my chest and looks terrable! just when hubby is not home to spot me?

Hip cross carry is my favoritest carry ever. Thanks for making a video explaining how to do it!

This uses woven wrap, right? Could I use a stretchy wrap? Or does a stretchy one have to be wrapped over several times for strength - and is thus not appropriate for this carry?

I've never done this with a stretchy, but I don't think it would be safe--good question! Stick to a woven for this one!

I used to do this with a stretchy when my son was about 9 months, before I got a woven, but I was constantly re-tying it to tighten as the wrap would stretch with the weight, so not great!
