Tips for back carrying with a mei tai/half buckle/full buckle
  • Most of the trick is getting them on your back in the first place - see the videos. Once you've done that you're away.
  • Make sure they're well seated, without any rucked-up fabric.
  • Check the position of the chest belt - too high and it will probably pull on your shoulders. Katherine
