I have the waist band on and the straps hanging down. Fling baby over and rest him on my back like a piggy back while I'm leaning right over so he's horizontal. Then I keep one hand on him and pull up one strap, making sure his leg comes out where it should. Pull up the other strap with a flick so the body of the ergo goes over his back and put that on. Grab his feet and wriggle him down while moving upright. Then I do up the front clip and reach back to put a hand under his bum and adjust how his sitting so he's sitting deep in the ergo and we're good to go. Does that make any sense?!
