Mei Tai: Back Carry

Photobucket
Tip: In whatever carry or carrier you choose, spread the shoulder straps out to help distribute baby's weight across your torso. It will make wearing your baby much more comfortable!

Put your Mei Tai on apron style and slide it around so the body is now behind you. Hold your baby or toddler on your hip.

Lean forward then bounce and slide baby under your arm and on to your back while hold them snugly with both arms.

Pull the body of the Mei Tai up between baby's legs, making sure baby's bottom is in the center. Pull shoulder straps over your shoulder, spreading them out as you go. Give a little wiggle and pull the straps tightly to remove any slack and make sure baby is secure in the bottom of the carrier.

cross the straps across your chest, then bring them back to tie over or under baby's bottom. Do whatever's most comfortable for you!
