and grab the right shoulder strap, bringing it flat across your back.
While holding the first strap and supporting the infant's weigh
with your left hand, reach behind with your right hand and grab
the left shoulder strap, bringing it flat across your back. This
will create an X across your back with the first strap.
Tie the two straps together at the middle of the carrier's
body (to close off the sides) using a tight knot.
Tie the remaining lengths of strap for added security and neatness.
The infant is properly positioned if you
can kiss the top of his or her head.
Go forth and babywear!
