This is what the correct
“spread-squat position” looks
like on your hip. The bum of
your baby is lower than his /
her knees. Furthermore, you
can see clearly that you shift
your pelvis to one side with-
out the sling.

Gather the sling completely
First decide which hip you want to carry your baby.
Spread the sling on your arm on the opposite side.
The centre markers (stork labels) are on your shoulder
and on your wrist respectively.
Simple hip
carry position
Every carrier usually has their favourite side, but
we recommend changing the carrying side now
and then to protect your hips and to prevent over-
loading to one side. The hip carrying position is
suited for short distances, at home or e.g. when
partying. If the little ones are getting tired and fretful
they are sitting in the sling, next to your body, feeling
well and right “in the middle of the play”. They often
fall asleep after some minutes. You recognise the
properly tied hip carry position when you don’t need
to build a counterweight to your baby and when your
spine stays straight or you do not bend in your hip.
