The video tutorials

Did you know that 70 % of the world’s population carry their children?

It’s a custom and knowhow that we in the West have lost in the last few decades, and that we now need to relearn and reinvent.

To do this, we encourage you to follow the six key points.

  • Carefully read the instructions supplied with your Baby Wrap. That’s the first, basic step!
  • Watch the video tutorials. Tutorials have replaced our parents and grandparents, who’ve lost the old knowhow and can’t pass it on to us anymore. The videos are essential learning tools.
  • Ask for help
    If you can, ask people you know (or even in the street). Baby-wrap parents are always more than happy to share what they know.
    You can always e-mail photos of the way you tie your Baby Wrap to Alexa, the founder of Colimaçon. Her 15 years of experience mean that she can advise you just from looking at your photos.
    The really important thing is to take part in a baby-carrying workshop run by a trained instructor. On request, Alexa will give you a list of instructors in your area.
  • Practise every day. That’s the most important point. If you carry your baby every day, it’ll only take you a week to learn how to tie the Wrap properly.
  • Trust yourself. The best person for looking after your baby is you.
  • Keep things in perspective! We’re manufacturers, so for us Baby Wraps mean research, laboratory tests and complying with standards – a whole process. For you they should just be a piece of material useful for carrying your children!

Colimaçon’s tutorials

Our fast tutorials on Wraps and Slings focus on the following questions:

  • What is a Baby Wrap?
  • How does a Wrap differ from the two types of Sling?
  • How should I use it?
  • In what situations is it recommended to carry my baby with one?

By going to the following internet links, you’ll find excellent tutorials carefully detailing all the tying techniques.

The Bearded Man Sling is a bit different! It’s the outcome of a collaboration beginning in 2018. So there aren’t as many tutorials available on YouTube.
Luckily, we can offer you four tutorials by the Bearded Man himself – they’ll show you the ins and outs of his innovatory Sling and how to use it.

What is a sling, when to use it. Accompanied by an example of tying:
