Wow! how long did it take for you to learn how to do this wrap?

Thanks

it didn't take long to figure out how to do it if I didn't wory about trailing the ends on the ground. after i learned how at home, it took me about two weeks of experimenting to work out how to do it while out.

@momichisan I just got a new moby wrap and was wondering why the back carrying instructions weren't in the book anymore! Good to know, maybe I'll get something else instead so I can wear my toddler on my back.

@chellelovestea I know this is old but I just wanted to say that baby allegedly fell out of a stretchy wrap (like the Moby). Back carries with a woven (non-stretchy) wrap such as the one in the video are very safe provided they are done correctly (spreading the cloth, making it tight, making sure it holds de baby in a proper seated position and proper support of the back). It does take practice but it's doable.

Definitely like how you tied it across your chest. If this carry is done properly like you have shown, I don't see how a baby could ever fall out. Women have been carrying babies like this for centuries and other than maybe double knotting that last knot, I think the instructions were great!

I thought a back carry would be great for my little guy and I tried it but the back support very easily works it's way down and there's nothing stopping my baby from falling out. When I researched it I realised that this is why Moby retracted the back carry and no longer prints instructions for it.

I also read an account on Babycentre by a mama who was in Wholefoods and saw a six month old baby fall out of the hold & straight onto his head, hitting the grocery shelf on the way down. No no no.

Nice video and great demonstration.. Wish I knew about this when my kids were young. But I'll be a grandma any day now so I will try it out!! Thanks again

[KDmami]

that was awesome and easy. is this same dimensions than a moby wrap?

[yukary27]

Excellent! I'll try tomorrow ^^ I do it quite differently, I'm not sure my wrap is long enough to make a knot on the hips + on the chest!

Your kid is so sweet :p
