Hip Carry

Best for 5 months - toddlers (36 lbs)

• Put your baby high up on your unslinged shoulder
• Tuck his feet completely under the sling by pulling the entire sling over his legs.
• Lower him onto your hip, straddling your hip.
• Separate the pouch opening and pull the inside fabric (against his back) down and completely under his bum. Make sure the pouch underside is all the way under his bottom and thighs to the back of his knees. His knees should be higher than his bum so his weight is not on his legs.
• The outside layer of the pouch should be pulled up high along baby's back for support. Adjust and be sure he is completely supported by the Peanut Shell® before releasing your hold.
