DIDYMOS Baby Wrap Sling
Carrying Instruction
Only use this carrier
for children between
3,5 kg and 20 kg.

1 Put your DIDYMOS wrap
sling around your waist
like an apron.
2 Cross the tails at your
back without twisting them.
3 Bring the tails over your
shoulders to your front, so
they hang down loosely
from your shoulders.
4 Spread the horizontal
fabric strap to make sure
nothing is twisted.
5 Position your baby in the
pouch at your waist. The
bottom rail should be at
the back of your baby’s
knees.
6 Hold your baby tightly
and spread out the fabric
until the top rail reaches
your baby’s neck.
7Then tighten the cross
bands by pulling first on
the inner rails, ...
8… then on the outer
rails. Always hold your
baby with one hand.
9Bring both firmly
tightened tails down
along your baby’s sides,
cross them under her
bottom …
10 … and bring them
under his straddled legs,
around to your back
again …
11 Tie the tails at your
back with a flat reef knot.
12 Ready to go!
13 To give your baby ad-
ditional support, spread
out the cross bands, too:
First the inner band then
the outer one.
14 If you like, you can
spread the fabric on your
shoulders to distribute
the weight more evenly.

your back again where

flipping the rail closest
to your neck under the
outer rail and down over

15 If your sling is not long
enough to tie at your back,
you can tie the tails under
your baby’s bottom.
16 The fabric on your
back should be spread
out flat.

1Lay your DIDYMOS sling
over your shoulders so that
there is a loop behind your
back (reaching down to your
waist) …
2… and so that one
sling end is about 30 cm
longer than the other.
Now cross the longer
end over the shorter one,
…
3… lead it to your back
…
4... and pull it through
the loop on your back.
5Take the shorter sling
end and …
6… tie both ends
together at your side
with a flat reef knot or an
adjustable sailor’s knot.
7Take the fabric cross
with both hands and pull
it down.
8Lean your baby against
your shoulder supporting
baby with one hand and,
with your free hand, pull
baby’s leg out through one
of the fabric straps.
9Now change shoulders
and do the same with
the other leg through the
other fabric strap.
10 Hold your baby securely
until you have stretched the
fabric over its back.
11 First the inner fabric
width, then the outer one
each of them reaching
from one back of baby’s
knees to the other.
12 Check if your baby
is sitting closely snug
against your body –
otherwise adjust the knot
to be tighter.
13 Either spread the fabric
widely over your child‘s
back up to the neck or, if
the child is older, leave
both arms free.

the other leg and the
outer cross.
10 Now spread both crosses
under your baby’s bottom and
across her back. Start with the
inner cross, …

back of one of your baby’s
knees to the other.

slightly to make sure she
is in the perfect
frog-leg position.

tight fit, grasp the rails on
each side and push your
elbows against the fabric.

the tails around the
bands at you sides you
can also tie them together
at your side or in
front of you.

older and wide awake, he
may enjoy having her arms
out in this carry.
