| How to use your BabyHawk Mei Tai
·
When putting the carrier on you, tie the carrier
upside down against your body, the pattern you wish to display will be towards
your body in this position.
·
Tie the straps behind the back of a younger baby
for more support and under the bottom of a larger baby or toddler.
·
Especially when have your baby on your back,
when you walk past a window or car, check and make sure that everything looks
to be in place and the baby still looks comfy.
·
Use a square knot instead of a bow when tying
for security, if you have enough tails left over; feel free to tie it in a bow.
·
You can tie the waist straps above or just under
your breasts to get the baby higher on your body (this for back carries only
and not recommended to wear the waist straps above your breasts in a front
carry).
·
It is safe for babies/toddlers to have their
arms out over the top if that is what they prefer.
