My Favorite Back Carry with a Wrap

I think this is a version of the "secure high back carry". This is the carry I always show to other moms at our babywearing meetings.

The wrap is 4.6 meters long. :)

i do not recommend using a stretchy wrap for this or any other back carry. A woven wrap is much more secure!

would this work with a six month old you think?

[zabbygrl]

@ammccarter yep! if you and your baby are new to back carries just be extra careful and work with a spotter. :)

so what kind of fabric is this and where did you get it? i have the moby wrap and i love it but its not safe with the back wrap. Thankyou! I love your video by the way! Great job showing how to do it

@taygansmom It's a Didymos brand woven wrap. Storchenwiege, BB Slen and Neobulle are some other great brands of woven baby wraps. there are many places to get baby wraps online, couple of my favorites are bebewearingmamas and pieceofcloth.

@araulm Thank you very much that was very helpful. I am planning on getting some fabric for this very soon!

@gracistabu Finally sew all four sides by folding it in an inch with same zig zag; so the fabric does not unravel while in use or once you put it into the washing machine. I hope this was helpful! Crystal

@gracistabu Sew them together so it is one long piece of fabric; using the small zig zag option on your sewing machine. Go back and forth many times to make sure it can hold the weight of your baby as it grows. Try it on, wrap your baby then see how much fabric is extra on the ends that you don’t need and cut it off equally.

@gracistabu I went to Joans Fabric Store paid $15 due to great clearance price! I found a fabric in the linen section ( I had to ask for help to find where it was) called Bottom Weight it is a woven non stretch fabric that is 58 inches wide. I bought 7.5 Feet. Ask how many yards that is? I was not sure how much I would need cause I am a little chubby so I wanted to make sure I had a enough fabric to do all the cool ties I wanted to do with my 2 year old.
