Instructions Page

Learning to use a baby carrier is like learning to ride a bike. It takes practice but is soon second nature.

Consider practicing with a doll before you carry your baby.
Practice next to a couch or a bed.
Continually support your baby until you are confident.
Ensure you and baby are rested and fed before you begin.
Use a mirror or a partner to help while you are learning.
Always be aware of your baby’s positioning and body language.

Whether you prefer print instruction or video, you can find it on this page. You might also like to check out our social media for more tips and tricks or join our Maya Wrap Fan Chat Facebook group and ask questions or share photos there.
