1
Take the inner loop and
stretch it open to form a
pocket-like seat for baby.
2
Place baby upright (or in an
upright fetal position) in the
pocket-like seat of the inner
loop.
6
Reach behind your back to
slide support band down so
that the loops cross at the
center of your back (for
optimal back support).
5
Spread the fabric of the outer
loop over baby’s back and
bottom. Make sure that the
fabric does not cover your
baby’s face.
4
Place your arm through the
outer loop that is hanging at
your waist, and pull it back up
onto your shoulder.
3
Make sure baby is centered in
the fabric with an equal
amount of material on front
and back of baby’s body.
Adjust fabric on your shoulders
so that it is comfortable.
If your baby does not like being in the carrier, calmly
take baby out and try again later.
Your baby can sense your hesitation. Stay calm and
keep practicing.
Your baby will let you know when he/she is ready to
move out of the Kangaroo Position by starting to
stretch his/her legs while in the carrier. At this point
try the Hug Position.
