Surf Baby Slings ABC Baby Carrier "How To"
Step 1-hold up carrier, minkee side facing your belly, to see all four straps:
Step 2-Tie bottom Straps on your back at the botton of the carrier:
Step 3-You are now ready to place the baby in the carrier. While ALWAYS carefully supervising the baby, place baby in the front, while keeping one hand on the baby:
Step 4-place the top straps behind your shoulders, still while keeping one hand on the baby:
Step 5- While still keeping a hand on the baby, criss-cross the straps, so they form an "x" on your back. Pull one strap tightly to press baby towards you:
Step 6- Pull other strap tightly against you as well, you will now have both hands off of the baby, but the straps will be pulled tightly enough to hold the baby against you:
Step 7-pull straps around to your front, maintaining the tension to hold your baby in place, and tie the straps:
Step 8: Tie a knot in the front, if you have a toddler, you can tie this knot underneath their bottom to support their weight:
WHEN YOUR BABY IS OLDER
When your baby is heavier, and feels like he/she needs more support in the Mei Tei, try this variation:
Pull the straps under the legs of the baby
Snugly gather both straps underneath, rather than at the baby's waist
Tie your knot under the baby's bottom, to give extra support to the weight of your baby. In this picture, Camille is a year old, we started using this carry around 6-7 months~
Other pictures and carrying variations:

This pictures shows a "back carry"

This is my two month old, at the time, showing how even a baby with little head control can be worn snugly in an ABC :)
