    Feeb - I've watched the vid, I'm quite sure I'm doing it correctly..

    BUT the material from my shoulders seems a bit loose, is it meant to be like this? How can I tighten this?? I keep trying with the rings, but they only tighten at the bottom, where the cross for the seat is.

    Leckert - I think DD is the same... I think she finds staring at my shoulder really boring. Maybe she will like it when I'm walking around at the shops?

    Just tried again, and DD seems to lean back quite far.. I don't think this is right? Again, can't seem to tighten the shoulder 'straps' though..
    She pulls her hands out from under so she can suck her thumb..
    She's only 4months, can I put her facing outwards? I know it says 5months.. has anyone tried with a younger baby?

    I think I faced DS out from about 4 months - I know it was about a month earlier than they said to but DS was ready for it, strong neck control and is always wanting to know what's happening.

    Too tighten the shoulder strap part I hold DS and carrier with one hand and pull one strap under DS's butt more then tighten that strap at the buckle then swap sides if you can get what I mean.

    Not everyone's bubs loves the CC...mine didn't

    And I found it cumbersome and annoying to tighten and loosen too.
    Half the battle with carriers is finding one you BOTH love and find comfy. Have a play and persist a little, but if it doesn't get any better, try another carrier

    Mmm LimeSlice, I think you're right. This is my second sling... this search for the perfect sling is getting expensive!! Hopefully we find our match soon enough.

    Leckert - Cheers, I'll try and see if I can tighten the shoulders.

    Hopefully my next post will be a Hooray it works..
