This spreads your baby's weight more evenly across your upper back and shoulder blades, reducing the concentrated pressure that straight straps can create on a single point during longer carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003e+ Can I put this carrier on by myself without help?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e— Yes. The carrier is designed around a 4-step clip system that works solo. The waist belt clips at the back, the shoulder straps cross and clip at each hip — no second pair of hands needed at any step.
