Mermaid Carry as a clip:
Step-by-step:

Step 1
Find the midpoint of your FidellaŽ baby wrap.

Step 2
Spread out the sling across your babys back. The midpoint should be on neck height.

Step 3
Slide your baby over your hip, underneath your armpit, onto your back.

Step 4
Bring your baby into the spread-squat-position by pushing the excess sling fabric between its bottom and knees.

Step 5
Lead both strands underneath your armpits to the front of your chest.

Step 6
Now, you need a Sling Ring.

Step 7
Pass both sling strands through the Sling Ring ...

Step 8
... and keep the ring under tension on chest height.

Step 9
Tighten both fabric ends individually, strand by strand, through the ring.

Step 10
Clamp one fabric strand between your knees and start tightening the other one.

Step 11
Grab one of the strands, bring it underneath your armpit,

Step 12
across your baby's back, up to its neck, and tuck the excess fabric between you and your baby`s bum.

Step 13
Lead the strand under tension over your shoulder and clamp it between your knees again. If necessary, tighten this strand again.

Step 14
Do the same with the other strand as well.

Step 15
After that, you can tighten both strands, hanging over your shoulders, again.

Step 16
Twist both strands evenly.

Step 17
Lead them backwards, underneath your armpits, across the baby's legs ...

Step 18
... and cross the fabric strands under the babys bum.

Step 19
Then, lead them back again to the front and put them underneath your babys legs.

Step 20
Tie both ends of the sling in front of your belly with a double or flat knot.

Step 21
Fan out the fabric over your breasts.

Step 22
Put your baby in a squating position into the pouch by pushing its lower legs gently upwards.

Step 24
and from the back.
