This is position is for babies or toddlers that have good neck and head control. Your child must also be cooperative to be carried in this position.

To begin, put your sling on with your rings behind your shoulder at higher position than you would usually put them. Rest your child's weight on your chest on the opposite side of where your rings rest. While you support the child's weight, lower him/her into the sling with his/her legs extending out of the sling. Rest the baby's weight on your hip with his/her legs in a straddling positon. The fabric should cup the baby's bottom completely (thighs should be slightly higher than the baby's bottom). Tighten your sling by pulling the tail up and out with one hand. When making adjustments to your sling, one hand should always be on the baby. Now spread the fabric over the babies back it can either go over the child's shoulders or under the armpits. The top rail of your sling may be a little loose at this point, so give the top rail a tug. Mind where your rings are at this point, if they are too low you will have to adjust your sling.   Now lift your arm up and over your child's head while you carefully slide them around to the back.   If your sling is loose at this point, pull the tail to tighten it.   If you are a breastfeeding mommy,  be careful not to put too much pressure on your breasts.   Now check the child's bottom and make sure the fabric is completely covering it with the fabric extending to the knees. You may need your partner or a friend's help the first couple times you try this position. If you are ever unsure if your child is secured, please have someone help you check the babies positioning!
