Wraparound Baby
Carrier Wearing Positions |
These instructions will work with wraparound style baby carriers
like the Didymos,
EllaRoo,
Girasol
and more.
I have listed these carrying positions in order of the length of
fabric needed to tie them. The Hip Carry requires the least amount
of fabric; the Cross, Newborn, and Wrap Cross Carry require the
most. (These last three wraps are variations on the same theme.)
I have included various names for ease of identification if you
are surfing and comparing.
The model in these pictures (isn't she lovely?) is a size 4. I
give the length of the wraparound baby carrier that she needs for
each wrap next to the picture.

 Hip
Carry (for toddlers) / Cradle (for infants)
(This is tied at one shoulder like a rebozo
or selendang.)
2.6 m #18 Girasol
[Wearing Instructions]
 Hip
Cross Carry
(This is the most secure and, I think, comfortable
hip carry ever.)
2.6 m #18 Girasol
[Wearing Instructions]
 Back
Carry / Rucksack / Kangaroo (on front)
(This can be crossed over the chest or brought
straight down under the armpits. It can also be turned around to
wear the child on the front.)
3.6 m #16 Girasol
[Wearing Instructions]
 Short
Cross Carry
(This is a front carry that can be done with
relatively little fabric.)
3.6 m #01 Girasol
[Wearing Instructions]
 Cross
Carry
(This is one of the most common, comfortable,
and easy ways to carry a heavy toddler.)
4.2 m #13 Girasol
[Wearing Instructions]
 Newborn
Wrap Cross Carry
(This is a completely hands-free, secure,
cozy wrap for infants.)
4.2 m #00 Girasol
[Wearing Instructions]
 Wrap
Cross Carry
(This is the most secure way to carry a toddler,
and can also be modified for a vertical newborn carry.)
4.2 m #10 Girasol
[Wearing Instructions]
 Wrap
Cross Back Carry
(This is the most secure back carry, but takes
a little more time to do than the rucksack.)
4.2 m #04 EllaRoo Wrap
[Wearing Instructions]
