4. Thread through the top ring and loop it back into bottom ring. |
| 5 . Put on the baby sling on either side of the shoulder. Regardless of any carrying positions, the rings should land in front of your shoulder slightly below the collarbone for the finished position. |

6 . Ensure side rails on the baby sling at your back are not twisted but run parallel. You may want to practise before a mirror until you are familiar, before putting baby in. |
