Step 1: Holding your Mei Tai upside down with the fashion fabric towards you, tie the short straps around your waist as snuggly as is comfortable (for very small babies you may roll the fabric before tying). Holding the carrier in one hand and baby in the other, hold baby in front and bring the carrier between baby’s legs and behind their back.

Step 2: Supporting baby with your hand on the outside of the carrier, bring the long straps over your shoulders.

Step 3: Still supporting the baby, reach behind your back one hand at a time and bring the straps around to the front crossing them behind you (hold the first strap with the hand that is supporting the baby).

Step 4: Pull the straps to tighten and make a secure knot or bow either under the baby’s butt or behind the baby’s back.

Step 5: Check to make sure baby is secure and you are ready to go, Happy Baby Wearing!
