Simplest Back Carry I've ever seen

This video is of a South African lady wrapping her baby to her back with a towel. I think it is really neat that she can do it but I am not sure if back carries are anything I would try.

    Thanks for sharing the video.  That type of torso carry (with a kanga) is common throughout Africa.  Neat, hunh?  I love its simplicity & it works well for impromptu babywearing (with a beach towel or something).

    I prefer the support of carries that go over my shoulders, though.

    I just can't help but think what it would do to my boobs over time.

    I practiced this today, because I always wanted to do it, and had never seen a video. I was really excited by how well it worked.

    I took a picture and sent it to my husband and closest frind, except I didn't send it to my husband. I sent it to some random person who has the same first name as him. Whoops.

    I actually tried this at home once and it's quite easy to do but the piece of fabric I was using was too long, so I couldn't get it quite tight enough.  I don't think I could ever do it with a towel, but if I could find the right length of fabric I would carry my daughter like this a lot right now because there is nothing going over my pregnant belly!

    I have a friend who got a Kanga, and she loves it - she can get her 3 year old up there, and it looks awesome!

    LOL! I am always scared of doing that.
