Anyone wear their baby in their moby in an outward position? I haven't used the moby in about a month b/c DS seems to only like facing outward lately. Is it safe to outward face and do you have any good instructions for how to wrap outward facing?

Bueller? Bueller?
(pls tell me I'm not dating myself...)

Yes, I think it's called the "Lotus" position? Put your wrap on the same way. Facing the baby outward, place the legs through the inner straps (like the inward facing position, but backwards). Then pull the fabric up over his/her crossed legs and tummy, so it creates more of a seat. We started using this position with both kids once they were old enough to hold their heads up pretty well on their own (7/8 weeks?). Honestly, this was the only way I could use the Moby at that point, because my kids didn't want to face inward anymore! I've switched to the Ergo now with DS, but he only tolerates it for a short time unless he's tired and wants to sleep. He prefers outward facing so he look at everything!

@winniebee: I don't know how these people in the picture did it, but apparently it is possible!
I found this forum where women were discussing this exact thing:

@TurtleDoves: The outward position I used was just like the blue Moby picture, only I cross their legs and only pull the top part up halfway, so it's more like a seat and less like a Bjorn.

@winniebee: how do you think we came up with the name Cameron...
I want to try this, but haven't been very motivated to try it out, this post is a good kick in the butt to get me going!

I do when she is all sorts of awake but normally she just falls asleep, like this one she was awake but after walking around in the store she fell asleep.

@lemondrop: I looove the name Cameron....suggested it to DH. Also suggested Ferris LOL!
@honeybee: PERFECT. Thanks!
@cyndistar3: Your instagram pic totally inspired me to post this....how do you tie it?
-
@winniebee: I put it on exactly how I put it on for her to face me , I just turn her around and stick her arms through
I tie it in the front but the ends drive me batty so I tuck them in haha.

I had no idea you could forward face on with the moby! My 4 month old is over inward facing in just about everything, so great news!
-
Update: tried and we both liked!!
-
oh yay! I have been wondering the same thing
-
@winniebee: you two look great!! do you have to wait until they have full neck control to do that?
-
@winniebee: yay! he is too cute!
-
Oh my gosh, you two are precious!
-
@mediagirl: you know I'm not sure! Ive always been lac about head control since T had pretty good control early on But he was pretty secure in there.
-
@sorrycharlie: @bree72: Thank you!!

@winniebee: Yay, he looks so happy!
