1. Hold the carrier by the waist strap so that the side you want showing when you are finished is not visible.

2. Tie the mei tai on your hips or waist snuggly and tie a knot.

3. Pick your child up and have them straddle your waist.

4. Pull the body of the carrier up between your child's legs and over their back. Use one hand to hold them up while you use the other hand to grab the strap farthest away from your hand behind your back.

5. Bring the strap around to the front and use that hand to hold the child up while you use the other hand to grab the other strap. The straps will now be crossed across your back.

6. Bring both straps to the front and tie either behind your baby's back or under their bum. Then enjoy!
