Chest Strap Tips

The chest strap on a soft-structured carrier is the most common area we help parents get right for comfort and support.

This adjustable strap connects the two shoulder straps and prevents them sliding off the shoulders.

Too many people end up with it uncomfortably up on their neck, not realising the pieces can slide vertically to place them over the shoulder blades. This allows large muscles and bone to carry the load, rather than the more sensitive neck area.

Narrow-built parents often comment their shoulder straps constantly slide off their shoulders. By shortening the chest straps and lengthening the shoulder straps slightly, you bring them away from the edge of your shoulders and closer to your spine, preventing skipping.

Don't accept discomfort! Babywearing groups are a relaxed space to get your carrier comfortable!
