Can anyone actually get baby in backpack position themselves??

@outofplace_christian I put the carrier on my waist on my back and let it hang then do the superman toss! Much easier. You can practice over the couch/bed but you'll get the hang of it quick and baby will learn to hang on.

@outofplace_christian I put my girl in front and then move her to the back and put my arms in.

@outofplace_christian The Rucksack instructions in this wrap carrier book are really helpful and apply to SSC too where you sort of cross your arms over each other before grabbing baby's shoulders and swinging over your back.

I always do this standing next to our bed too.

@outofplace_christian With my toddler, I will set the carrier down on a flat surface, have him sit on it, then back up to him and strap the carrier around my waist/arms, then adjust his position until we are both comfortable. I didn’t try this until he was older, but it might work if your kid can sit still for about 1 minute while you do the buckles/straps!

@peruss My baby sits up really well on her own—I’ll try this!
