If you have trouble/don’t know how to do up the back clip on your buckle carrier, this is the easiest way!
The t-shirt method
1. Start with clipping on your waist belt, doing up the back clip, and loosening out the shoulder straps.
2. Put your baby in, bring the back panel up over their back. Hold back panel against baby with one hand and the back clip in the other hand.
3. Guide the hand holding clip over your head like a t-shirt and pop your head through.
4. Slip your arms through the shoulder straps, and then tighten to your comfort level where you can comfortably let go and baby is supported.
5. Ta-da! Back clip is in a great spot and it was super easy! off you can go to tackle the day
