I found it the easiest to put on in a front carry while seated, and I like that I can change to a back carry once I'm off the bus without having to put the baby down in the street.

I only use the car about once a week and I agree - it's gruelling when you're stuck miles from home with a carrier that's not working for you. I think I also just lucked out with a baby who doesn't wriggle too much!

I valiantly tried to backwrap Evelyn (a smidge younger than Meena but already walking well too) today while making dinner, got a nice tight ruck w' Tibetan - all was good until i sat down to get a drink of water and in five seconds flat she used the chair as a standing point and was virtually sideways in the wrap. Seeing as I have to sit down on the bus, wrapping for a week wouldn't work here (I also couldn't beat a quick retreat to a car)! Good luck with the rest of your week :) Oh Sarah, I just couldn’t do this!!

I only have one baby (8 months) but your story reminded me of my "first week as a wrapper" too. When we got our woven wrap I promised to practice at least once a day, every day for a week too. It's like excercise, the first few times you do it you think omg what made me decide that doing this was a good idea but then it gets easier every time and one day you find that you love it! I do think you are very brave to go out with a toddler and a preschooler without back-up! I love your story and can’t wait to read the next installment!
