Breastfeeding in a carrier is a super power, but don't forget to tighten up afterwards!
Your back will thank you and your child is more likely to be in a safer position when they are higher on your body.
You can tighten up, by moving your child up and holding them in position while you tighten the shoulder straps and readjust the waistband

Throw back to our holiday in Türkiye earlier this year ☀️
Hot days and crowded streets. Yes we did have a pushchair with us, but it was great to not have to rely on it when we knew we were gonna be somewhere busy 🙌🏽
I used my The ONE carrier by @isara_baby_carriers every day while on holiday. I was so grateful for the 100% linen and minimal layers (especially on my back and not my front) 👏🏽 Even as the weather is getting cooler over here, it's still great to only have a thin and light additional layer over us when we're out

Who else does this? 😂
I find it stressful to leave the house with 2 toddlers without our pushchair - but not because I need to put the kids in there (although of course they are in there at times). There is simply no way I would be able to carry all the things I need to when we go out. We have no car, so this and our bike trailer are what we use to get everything done. Grocery shopping is the big one 😅
How do you use your pushchair?

A sling ring to the rescue 🛟
I wanted to use this wrap to demonstrate the Hip Kangaroo, but it's really really short 😅
Managed to make it work 😀 and I like it much more than the Kangaroo carry (in front)...but I can't figure out why 🤔 easier to tighten maybe?

Does this look familiar?
If you've used a stretchy wrap before, you might recognise the part where baby goes in. Apart from the sliding knot, it is the same, just tied differently!
🤯 Blew my mind when I first saw it. Of course it can be tied in a different way, just never thought about it 😮

Pro tips for a good fit with an older toddler in a Meh Dai 💁🏽♀️
🚀 Meh Dais are totally underrated. They are versatile, long lasting and comfy. I wish had known about them when my kids were newborns - I'm pretty sure it would have been my preferred style of carrier
💚 In the video, I'm using a DidyTai by @didymos_babywearing with an almost 3 year old (12kg, 90cm)
🤗 While it's not my go-to carrier for her these days, I'm sure I would be able to make this work with her for a while still
🏋🏽♀️ Here are a couple of other things one could do to extend its life:
👉🏽 Carry on your back - less strain on your body and more freedom for you both
👉🏽 Use the hood to increase the size of the panel (especially when sleeping)

💖 If you have an older baby or toddler, learning to back carry can be a complete game changer when it comes to being productive while babywearing

You're gonna want to check this tip 🙌
And don't forget to share this with a fellow babywearing friend 😀
This is the so-called 't-shirt method' of putting on a buckle carrier. Do up the back clip before you put baby in. This basically creates a hole to pull your head through (like with a t-shirt) between the back clip, shoulder straps and top of the panel.
If you only tighten and loosen your shoulder straps when putting your carrier on and taking it off, then you never have to touch the back clip after you've done it up!
It works if you have a carrier which you wear with 'H-straps' so like a reversed backpack with a chest clip, rather than with the straps crossed over your back

Nothing on your waist and great head support 🤯
This is a simple carry which is great for a small baby. Named Short Front Wrap Cross Carry by @babywearingfun #carryoftheweek week 23
I used a size 4 wrap here (my base size is between 5 and 6). My tails weren't even, but it still worked 😀

The best feature of my ISARA carrier 👇👇
🙌 Having the ability to adjust the height of the panel on the fly... WITHOUT having to remove your child
🏆 With an older baby or toddler this is gold
👶 Babies want to be able to move more and see more from the carrier as they get older. Having arms out is a great way to give them some freedom while keeping them close
🥰 Going from arms in to arms out (and back!) quickly, easily and comfortably makes the carrying experience so much more enjoyable
✅ The webbing on this carrier panel can be shortened and lengthened while you are carrying your child, by lifting the weight of your child and pulling it to shorten or just lifting the clip to lengthen
👍 A shorter panel when arms are out will mean that your child is more comfortable without the top of the carrier digging under their armpits. A longer panel when arms are in will be more snuggly and is great when they are asleep
⚠️ Make sure the top of the panel comes to at least your baby's armpits when arms are out to keep them safe if they try to lean back suddenly
✨ Sometimes having the extra features is worth it

It doesn't always go to plan 😅
I've been wanting to test out the @safrikatragetuch with my kids (14m and almost 3yrs), but they are both way more interested in playing and running around than being carried these days - which does make it hard to test it 😂
Butttt I have discovered that it is a fantastic prop to add some more fun to our games. The lightweight material is strong and super easy to manipulate and I don't worry that it will be too heavy or delicate for the kids to play with or damage. The shape of it is also so practical - almost square and not too big.
Even if the kids aren't into being carried these days, I can still see myself taking this on a day out to the park or beach to use as a pretty mat, blanket or entertainment 😀
