Kangaroo Carry

Instructions for the Kangaroo Carry

Kangaroo Carry is an ideal front carry when you are using a medium length wrap. Most front carries (FWCC, FCC, and PWCC) require a long wrap (4.6m), whereas Kangaroo Carry can be done with a 3.7m wrap. It also only has one layer of fabric over baby, and so can be cooler in the heat of the summer.

In these instructions, baby is 6 months, and the wrap is a Didymos Red Waves 3.7m.
