High Back Carry For the Non-flexible Parent

Sometimes when I’m showing someone how to adjust the wrap behind them, I run into this problem that they simply cannot reach as well as I can.  So I had to learn a new way to wrap up a little baby in a high back carry.  A way to do it without reaching high up my back.

Today I experimented with a rucksack.  I found that I could do the entire carry, bringing the straps over and under the legs, while my 7 week old baby was very low on my back.  Then a few bouncing tugs on the tails hiked her up to my neck.  Voila!

I’m so good, I even had it together to make a video!

Not so good that I’m getting the video uploaded today, but it is coming soon, and I’ll add the link to this post.  The video is dedicated to Dana, whose baby outgrew this problem before I solved it.  Sorry!
