Now that you have your Mei tai tied around your waist you are ready to load it up!
Kris's sleeping son will be today's cargo. :-)
Place child against your front and pull the blanket of the carrier up between his/her legs.
Hold baby with blanket pulled up around him/her with one arm while using the other arm to place shoulder straps.
Let your child slide down into the carrier gently, while supporting them with your arm.
Let your child slide down into the carrier gently, while supporting them with your arm. You will will pull the straps of the mei tai up over your shoulders and cross them in the back.
Three points to consider at this point.
1. make sure straps don't twist when you are crossing them over your back.

2. Keep the straps out over your shoulder caps, not at your neck.
Pull straps around to the front to tie.
Some people choose to tie under the child's rump, others choose to tie behind child's back.
If baby does not yet have ability to hold head up, tie behind the child's back to give him/her that extra support needed.
Now you are ready to go about your business with both hands free.
Kris has flipped up the sun shield to keep the sun off of her sleeping son.
Note the placement of the straps! Over the caps of the shoulders.
Starting to stir, she pulls off the sun shield so he can look around to see all that is going on.
