Step 1: Lay your Mei Tai fashion fabric down on a sofa or comfortable chair, place baby or toddler on the carrier and bring the bottom of the fabric between her legs.
Step 2: Sitting between baby's legs, tie the shorter straps around your waist (these may need to be adjusted after you stand up*)
Step 3: Carefully lean back and grab the shoulder straps, pulling them over both the babys and your own shoulders and bringing the baby close to you.
Step 4: Slowly stand up and cross the straps across your chest or under each arm like a backpack.
Step 5: Bring straps around to the back and tie a secure knot or bow under babys butt or across their back.
Step 6: Stand up and give yourself a final check!
*If the carrier is too loose, lean forward so baby is resting on your back and retighten the waist straps.
