Actually, it just looks hard to do but it is really very easy to do on your own..I would say after a pouch or ring sling, it is actually the easiest to do on my own of any of the slings I have tried (which is seriously a lot

All you really need to do is follow the pictures and you should be all set. I would recommend doing it over a sofa or bed just in case till you get used to it.
What you are going to do is:
1. Take the straps under your little ones arms and hold the straps tight so that your baby is secure. Try holding your little one in front of you by the straps first to see how secure it is...my baby LOVES this game

.
2. Then you kind of swing your little one around your shoulder still holding your straps together so they are holding your little one securely high on your back. Again, my baby LOVES this manuver as well

3. Leaning forward, seperate the straps and take one over each shoulder. If you leave your little one's arms so that they are still over the top of the carrier, the straps will still be holding the baby quite securely.
4. Twist the straps around eachother....this is a more attractive look than just crossed but either will work well with this carrier. You can also use this carrier without crossing the straps at all...just leave them rucksack style. It all works well.
5. Take one strap and put it through the ring on the bottom of the carrier. Hold on this end a bit so make sure that it stays in place and your baby is pretty secure at this point. Then take the second strap and put it through other ring.
6. Holding both ends, stand straight up and bounce a bit and pull down on the strap to get your baby high on your back. When you are happy with how high your baby is, tie a knot and you are done.
I find my Onbuhimo really fast and easy to do on the go. It is super comfortable and because the piece of fabric is so small, really nice and cool for summer for both me and Isaac.
Hope this helps!
