Just got my wrap!

Yeah!! Good for you; you must have found a broken link or a typo!? I tried but i think Tracy must have it pretty staightened out by now. How is your little one? I'm always worried I'll drop my dd too but I'm getting much better. My dh was helping me with my new Moby tonight. I was trying the 'backpack 2 carry", I think its also called Tibetan. Its the only one I think I can tie around my belly!!

Your link didn't work for me but it may just be my dial-up provider.

Hi,
I am a mamatoto advocate. I am glad you like your wrap.

You aren't kidding about underestimating their weight! lol My two year old is 32lbs now and my wrap is a lifesaver. It looks like you have done the rucksack carry. I find that carry pretty comfortable. I like to have my toddlers legs wrapped around me in a sitting position though. I find that the fabric stays over his bum better.

One of my favorite carries for my toddler is the back wrap cross carry with the chest belt. I can't get the regular back wrap cross carry tight enough, but the chest belt makes it super easy to tie on. You can tie it in front above your belly like you did with the rucksack carry. Here is a link http://mamatoto.org/PortalVBVS/HowTo/BCWChestBelt/ I can try to post a pic of this later today you if you need to see what it looks like.

Also, When learning to put my toddler on my back by myself with no one to help, I knelt down on the floor or on my bed so that he wouldn't have far to fall. It doesn't take long for both you and your toddler to feel confident enough to do this standing up. I think it took us about a week.

Happy babywearing!
Angie

p.s. I see that you are knitting soakers. I have been knitting a lot of soakers too. I just love them.

HI Angie,
Thanks for your tips!!! I'm actually getting near the end of my 2nd soker,but, I'm just gonna keep on moving with them!!
