STEPS (FRONT CARRY):

		Step 1: Hold carrier upside down by the short straps, decorative panel facing your legs.
		Step 2: Tie carrier in a knot tightly around your waist, like an apron. Take care to tie this tightly, and retie as necessary if the knot should loosen while wearing.
		Step 3: Holding baby against your chest, pull the panel up over baby's back. The fabric of the bottom strap should be between you and your baby.
		Step 4: Place the long straps over your shoulders.
		Step 5: Cross the long straps across your back. Take care to always support your baby with your hand until the carrier is completely tied. (The "model" baby is a fake, so caution is thrown somewhat into the wind in this photo.)
		Step 6: Pull the long straps around to the front and tie securely. With smaller babies, you must tie the straps behind baby's back. This adds some back support and helps close off the open sides of the carrier. With older babies, you can tie the straps underneath baby's bottom. (Note: newborns may prefer to stay in the fetal or "frogleg" position instead of spreading their legs around your waist.) Straps are safest when tied in a square knot. If there's enough strap left, you can top the knot with a pretty bow!

STEPS (BACK CARRY): (Step-by-step photos coming...eventually!) Step 1: Tie short straps around waist with decorative panel in back, against the back of your legs. Step 2: Sit baby on your back while leaning forward. (This can be done most easily while sitting on a couch or chair.) Step 3: Bring long straps over your shoulders, pulling panel over baby's back. Step 4: Pull straps directly under your arms or cross them on your chest and tie in back under baby's bottom.
