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).
Step 2: Holding the carrier in one hand and baby in the other, hold baby in front and bring the carrier between babys legs and behind their back. Supporting baby with your hand on the outside of the carrier, bring the long straps over your shoulders.
Step 3: Still supporting the baby, bring each strap over your opposite shoulder (hold the first strap with the hand that is supporting the baby, both straps can be in front of your shoulder or the back strap can go behind as pictured, whatever you find most comfortable).
Step 4: Pull the straps to tighten and make a secure knot or bow either under the babys butt or behind the babys back.
Step 5: Check to make sure baby is secure and you are ready to go, Happy Baby Wearing!
