Jordan’s Back Carry with 2 Cross Pieces
Instructions for the JBC2C (Jordan’s Back Carry with 2 Cross Pieces)
This carry is a variation on the original JBC. If you find that you feel a little lopsided in a JBC because there is one rebozo pass and one cross piece (so under one leg and over the other), then this is one option for fixing that. In this version, both passes are cross pieces and go under baby’s legs.

In these instructions, baby is 11 months and the wrap is a Didymos Silver Waves 5.2m.
First, assemble your tools. 
Next, get baby onto your back however you prefer (I’m doing hip scoot).
Then scoot baby up high on your back.
Position the wrap across baby’s back and under one leg, with the wrap going over one of your shoulders and under the other arm. Be sure to keep a hand on baby, as this first cross piece is NOT going to secure baby to your back. Tighten really well, and tuck the end of the wrap going over your shoulder between your knees.
Grab the other end of the wrap, tighten really well, and bring that end back over the same shoulder.
Spread the wrap across baby’s back like in a cross carry.
Tighten over baby’s back and tuck wrap under baby’s leg.
Tuck that strap between your legs, grab the other end, and take it back under the same arm.
Spread fabric straight across baby’s back.
Bring around to the front and tie. In this variation, I prefer to tie Tibetan instead of around my waist, as this keeps the outer pocket up nice and high and keeps baby from leaning out. Since the first pass across baby is just a cross (not a rebozo back carry like in the original JBC), if the pocket were to slip down, baby could lean out and become unstable.
Ta-da!
