How to choose a position?
There is a large variety of tying methods for the
long scarf.
- Your own activity while carrying your baby
influence which position you choose.
- Almost all of positions you will find in the user
manual can be used with any age baby. Even the back
carry positions can be used for a very young baby
if the adult feels comfortable doing so. Some positions,
however, are more easily adapted to the physical
ablilities of the baby.
- The baby will help you to find the favorite position.
He will communicate you when he likes a position
or not. Listen to your child.
The user manual provided you with instructions for
the favorites as well as a selection guide as per
the physical ability of your baby and/or your physical
activity.Do not hesitate to be creative and experiment
with other methods that you may find elsewere or create
on your own.Just always remember to maintain the basic
elements:
- Keep the baby's knees higher than his hips when
he's in the vertical position.
- The fabric should always be spread out so that
no one spot is strained.
- The baby should always be carried high and tight.
Which size scarf should I buy?
The BB.Slen is available in three lengths: 2m60, 4m90,
and 5m60.
The 2m60 is a short scarf for wearing the baby in
a front, hip, or back carry positions. It is quick
to put on and off and comes with a separate manual.
The 4m90 and 5m60 are also intended for front, hip
and back positions yet provide a larger choice of
tying methods. They provide more support across the
shoulders, back and around the hips. Some people like
to tie the fabric an extra time around their hips
to distribute the weight better, providing more support
for an extended carrying time.
4m90 small framed people or no extra support around
hips
5m60 larged framed people or extra support around
hips
If two people of different stature plan to use the
same scarf, we recommend choosing the larger size.

Carrying Twins
Taking care of twins can be more than twice the
challenge of just one baby. All the more reason to
use a baby carrier to make life easier. Most parents
of twins will buy two carriers so that each parent
can carry one baby. When alone, however, you may want
to try some of the positions below. Do not feel bad,
however, if you do not carry your babies together
like this for long periods of time. We recognize that
carring two children is very heavy! Especially for
a mother who has already carried her twins for nine
months in her womb and her pelvis and abdominal muscles
may need more time to regain strength.
