Your Adjustable Sling

Hold the Sling with the elastic trim up.
Pull the safety stopper and tail through both rings and slide to appropriate size – see “Fitting your Sling”.
Now that you have created a loop make sure that the Sling is not twisted.
Slide the safety stopper and tail back through one ring and pull the fabric through until tight.

You may secure the safety stopper by pulling it through the tail holder.
Hold the Sling with the rings in front and the padded back strap in back.
Place one arm and your head through the loop. Wearing the Sling on your right shoulder makes it easier to use your left arm and vice versa. However, choose the side that is most comfortable for you.
Place the rings at your shoulder level where you would wear a corsage. Pull the padded back strap away from your neck so it sits slightly off your shoulder.

Pull the safety stopper through both rings.
Your Sling can be adjusted form size X-Small (18” tail) to size X-Large (6” tail) and anywhere in between. The sewn down tail portion is to help when threading your sling – the tail can be as long as 18” for size X-Small.
After you have selected your size, see “Threading your Sling”. Sling should fit snug before you place the baby in it, at your bust line and above your waist.

Hold baby facing you on the side without the rings.
Pull the outer elastic trim open and lower baby into the sling bottom first.
Make sure the inner elastic trim of the Sling is pulled up and baby is positioned between the two pieces of elastic trim.
Make sure baby is seated comfortably. Wrap the outer elastic trim up and around the baby’s back and neck to ensure stability.
