Drape the baby sling scarf over one shoulder and tie the two ends together at the level of the diagonally opposite hip. Then follow the instructions for the Kangaroo model.
You can wash your baby sling scarf as indicated by the instructions on the label. Check each time before using the baby sling scarf whether the baby sling scarf is fit for use. Upon discovering even the most minor defect, do not use the scarf as a baby sling anymore. We do not accept any liability for improper use.

Size chart
Interestingly enough, the height and weight of the child to be worn in an AíBí prêt à porter are not relevant for determining the right size of the baby sling.
Only your own height and bust size are relevant. Add up these two numbers to determine your overall size.
Example: height 168 cm + bust size 93 cm = overall size 261 cm
You can now check the chart for the sling size most suitable for your overall size.
