Wearing - Kangaroo Carry
Kangaroo carry is typically used from 3 to 6 months, when baby wants to see the world but can't sit
up unassisted. Be sure to watch our video on using
the kangaroo carry.
- Hold the sling with the rings and tail in front.
- Slip the sling over one arm and your head, keeping the rings in front with the tail hanging down.
- The rings should be in corsage position in the hollow under your shoulder. See
video.
- Adjust sling so baby’s bottom will be in the sling zone (see graphic in general wearing tips). See video.
- Leave the top rail of sling - the edge away from your body - loose until baby is in sling.
- For more information on getting started, watch this
video.
- Also see our Troubleshooting Guide.
- Create a pouch for baby by pulling a wall of fabric against your body.
- Hold baby on your shoulder opposite the rings. Baby's back will rest on your shoulder. Cross baby's
legs.
- Settle baby into sling, keeping baby's legs crossed in front.

- Once baby is in position, tighten slack in the top rail (the edge away from your body) by firmly pulling
up and over. See video.
- Pull shoulder folds out to cup your shoulder. See video.
- CHECK to be sure there is sling fabric between you and baby.
- To take baby out, loosen the top rail. Reach under both of baby’s arms with both hands. Pull baby straight
up onto your shoulder.
