Thanks, Andrea. I have to say, when I took those pix, that was the worst tie-on I've done yet, although he always does sink over time.
I do start him with his face practically in the back of my neck, and can't quite figure out what to change to stop the drooping. I know when he's gotten absolutely too low - he either starts to tilt to the side, or his knees start killing my lower back. Feels great up high, though.
Anyway, and tips on droop-proofing? I've tried pulling tighter, both at the armpit stage and under-butt stage of tying, but obviously it's not enough...
Like I said in my pix post, though, I do realize from my myriad of different carriers that it all comes with practice, and even though I realize I'm far from perfect on the podaegi, I know I'll get better, and Will and I both like the podaegi a lot already, so that's a plus!
