STEP ONE:
PREPARING THE SLING
Adjust length by tightening or loosening strap. Make sure buckle is properly threaded. When buckle is lying at, the middle bar should be raised and hidden by fabric. See illustration above. Make sure clasp is securely fastened.
With sling on, hold baby in seated position above the sling against your body (baby should be sideways against you). Open your Peanut Shell pouch outward with one arm while you are supporting baby with the other. Pull outside layer of fabric away from your body to make room for baby.
STEP TWO
In seated position, begin to lower baby into the sling bottom rst (baby’s bottom should be in line with the seam). Tuck in baby’s legs, then open the pouch enough to allow

baby’s head to rest back against you comfortably.
STEP THREE
Pull fabric up on both sides and be sure baby is supported by the sling before you release your hold.
STEP TWO:
WEARING THE SLING
Hold your sling in one hand with the brown Peanut Shell label facing away from the shoulder the sling will rest on. Slip the pouch up and over your head, putting the opposite arm through the sling, keeping the black safety strap behind you.
Your Peanut Shell® should t snugly and hit no lower than the top of your hip bone to give you the most comfortable carry.
TIP: No matter which position you are using, your baby’s bottom always goes on the seam.

Open the pouch away from your body (by taking the outer layer of fabric and pulling it out). Begin to lower baby bottom rst into the sling.
