Kangaroo The kangaroo knots create a pocket of sorts which takes the baby’s shape depending on the type of fabric and its strength. It works well with the frog position. It is recognized as the most ergonomically correct for the child because it supports the spine letting the back curb naturally. They are the most popular knots once the basic wrap principles are mastered. They are very comfortable, support the baby well, and distribute the weight correctly on the carrier’s body. The baby is covered by one layer of fabric as opposed to the cross knots where there are three layers. This technique highlights the qualities of a good cross twill weave fabric. A good fabric will create a sort of second skin which is supple, soft and cozy. Worn on the back, the kangaroo is called the backpack. It allows for the highest carrying position and is the most popular knot once baby has reached 5 or 6 months of age. The baby is very comfortable and can see over mom’s shoulder without being in the way during her activities. Simple cross and cross wrap Cross knots offer many variations, and are used both for the rocking and the frog positions. We generally see two distinct techniques whether the wrap is put through a loop or simply crossed over. Whatever the preference, the result is the same: you create an “x” in which you can place the child. You can then place the “x” either on your hip or on your stomach. This technique is used mainly by those who wish to knot the wrap before placing their child inside, thus letting them take baby in or out as needed. The cross knot can be used for newborns in the rocking position or by fastening the cross over the baby’s head. It also works for older children. However, it offers less back support and can compress the spine against the carrier’s body. In order to simplify things, we will only demonstrate one way to execute the cross knot over the stomach. From there, you can place the baby in the rocking or frog position. The cross wrap is really similar but pass 3 times on the baby. There is an horizontal pocket in front that make this knot really strong but harder to put the baby in and out. You can use this technique on your back. That make a really comfortable wearing for long period of time. The advantage if you compare to Simple cross, is that you must ajust the knot each time you want to put the baby in the wrap. Hamac In order to carry baby without too much fuss, with a wrap that doesn’t need to be tied each time, and that is less cumbersome, you can use a short wrap passed over the shoulder. You can use a long wrap in the same manner but the rest of the fabric must be tied around the waist.
