Orchid Elves and Full Buckle Tips

My white and blue elves are now purple! It was quite easy to dye and I'm very happy with the colour  I didn't find this as comfortable as my other two full buckles but got it out recently and it was so comfy.  It must not have been adjusted quite right before.  Full buckles can take a bit of tweaking the adjustment of the straps to get a great fit and they feel fantastic to wear when that's right.  This is a standard size carrier and my son is nineteen months.

Here are some tips for adjusting your full buckle for a good fit.  

Experiment to see where the best spot for the placement of the waist belt is for you.  Some people like to wear the carrier on their hips (top of your hip bones) and some on their waist.  Wearing closer to your hips will take more weight off your shoulders and onto the waist belt.   On the other hand some people find having baby's weight up higher feels more comfortable for them

Don't forget to bounce your baby down into the carrier to get a good seat.

If you find the webbing is rubbing under your arm the shoulder straps are likely too tight.  Loosen them a little and moving your chest strap to a different spot may help too.
