Take the elastic loop that is on one side of the carrier and pull the same side waist strap through the elastic, then taking the whole bottom of the carrier and other side waist strap through the elastic. Then pull gently to stretch out the elastic a little and tie in front you, hanging down like an apron.

Pick up baby and hold with his or her back against your chest.

Pull the carrier body up between the child's legs. Take one shoulder strap up over your shoulder and cross diagonally on the back, bringing back to the front. Repeat with other strap.

Tie the shoulder straps in front of you across the child's middle. Here the child has arms inside the carrier.

Or the child may prefer to have arms out over the carrier's top edge.
