Here's Megan in a friends Kari-me wrap. Used it for the 1st time today and both myself and Megan loved it, as did people in the shop queue today!

 

[veganmum2be]

awh cute! i regret not trying a stretchy wrap when my LO was teeny!

this was my first attempt at a back carry with a wrap, how does it look positioning wise? i look at others pics and think yeah its the same then look back to mine and think hmmm its not quite right.
i could have tightened it but LO's arms didnt seem right so i loosened it back off a bit.
i felt the weight alot too, and hes only 16lbs, its not a propper woven, so im thinking i need to get/try one.
i love this video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHQay2iFHKk&feature=related
it looks uber supportive and her wrap is brill it looks so thick and she can just wack it on without really pulling/gathering the material iykwim? anyone know what wrap it is? i wanna try that carry but with a propper woven.

and heres some pics of my first attempt at a back carry with the connecta, i love it but find it harder to get LO on my back than with the wrap. i tried fastening it up and then sliding him down into it today and that was easier but still a right fiddle! he loves it though and i LOVE the front feedom!

Not sure what the wrap is but in regards to your carry you need to get his legs higher than his bum, this is a post I made last night on another forum about how to get it tighter etc:

"You can tuck the bottom rail into her waistband and that will help to create a good pocket for her to sit in. Just dont pull too hard when tightening or it will slip out. That's how I learnt to do a ruck, I still struggle sometimes with getting the top rail tight but its practise, try holding one side and twist it to keep the tension then pop it beween your knees to keep it tight while you work on the other side Then on the side that you have in your hands keep it flat to your shoulder and begin to twist abit further down the wrap and then thread it under and over LO legs, then repeat with the side between your legs and tie off."

It should look like this ish(the knees need to be higher) but im still learning too :

Bexx I've been trying a Didymos woven this week and beginning to think wrapping isnt for us D is a real arm-straightener when i put him on my back and I struggle to get him secured close enough to me. I either need a masterclass or a Connecta!
This ruck was achieved with DH's help, I get too frustrated when
I try to do it on my own

I have a ring sling in the post for around the house and under the buggy...

I need to get some pictured in my new didymos. Only had it on today for the first time and still needs softening a bit more. Havent tryed a back carry in it yet. Tryed the connecta on my back and it wasent comfy at all.

 

[Tulip]

Oh nuts. Cheers for the tipoff Loz.

 

[lozzy21]

It is for some people, just not me

 

[Lliena]

Connectas arent very comfy for back carries past a certain height, I found mine dug in under my arms and as shes tall for her age she could lean right back out of it. Thats why I have a huckepack coming (adjustable back ).

 

[veganmum2be]

i think the connecta is comfier than the wrap. i just find it harder tha the wrap to use on my back, but i think with practice it would actually be easier its just judging the position of carrier/child (with sliding him down into it!)

i see now about the legs thanks.

it is so fiddly isnt it, i dont see me ever being able to do it away from standing over the bed hes wriggly and its a nightmare my arms ache after getting him on haha, but i love him being on back, no win!

 

[lozzy21]

Its not her hight thats the problem in the connecta, i think its my body shape thats the problem.

 

[Elphaba]

I'm struggling with it being comfy on the back with my Connecta too. I've only tried it at home though so it might just be me being rubbish at it. Think the problem is that I have quite narrow shoulders and poor posture so the straps don't feel like they're going to stay on. I don't have a chest strap. That might help but do they look flattering with a large bust (I'm a 36G)?

 

[veganmum2be]

when i used the r+r on my back the 'chest strap' dug into my chest, not sure if the connecta one would be the same though.

i have a bad back anyway after my epidural cock up i actually dont think i'll be babywearing for much longer anyway front or back. :'(

That's so sad because Frank obviously loves it as much as you do...
