I think I’d better learn and become proficient with this wrap BEFORE my son is able to run away from me at warp speeds 😉
While you’re making the seat, try standing upright (rather than bent over), to drop his bottom down into the seat, and the unexpected position may make him bend his knees to cling to you. Just make sure you are holding him in the wrap securely so he can’t fall when you do this. And then you have to be ready to tighten that bottom rail while he’s in the good position to hold him there. You can try carries that secure your baby/toddler early on in the wrapping process like a Back Wrap Cross Carry with a Chest Belt, and if you’re having trouble getting the seat in a Rucksack Carry, you can try a Carry with diagonal passes like BWCC or Double Hammock Carry. Try to have any excess wrap down at your baby’s knees, rather than up by their necks–that can help too.

Any suggestions for a wiggly boy who likes to straighten his legs while I try to make the seat for him?
Thanks for the ideas for getting him up there in the first place!
