Rebozo
carries are among the oldest and simplest baby carries known to humans -
they are a simple one-layer carry that pass over one shoulder, under
the opposite arm, and tie in a knot in front. Used for front, hip, or
back carries, you only need a short length of fabric, usually a size 2
if using a woven wrap. They are great for hot weather since not much
fabric is needed, and are quick up and down carries for a busy toddler.
More detailed information on rebozos:
Front and Hip Rebozo Carries:
The method for these is the same, what varies is where you situate your baby.
- Front and Hip rebozo are pre-tied before you pop your baby in.
- Drape your wrap across your back with one tail coming over your shoulder and one tail coming under your opposite arm.
- Tie a slip knot in the corsage position under your shoulder (slipknot demo in video)
-
Situate baby into the wrap either on your hip or on your front. Baby
should be in an upright position (not a cradle position) and facing
towards the parent.
- Create a deep seat from knee to knee by tucking fabric between your bodies.
- Tighten at shoulder as necessary. Extra slack may need to be fed around your back to tighten further.
- Make sure all the fabric is spread evenly across your back and shoulder.

Back Rebozo Carry:
- Get baby onto your back using your preferred method. Your wrap should be more or less centered on baby's back.
- Secure your top rails and create a deep seat for baby from knee to knee.
- Bring one tail over your shoulder, the other under your opposite arm.
- Tie a square knot in front. Corsage position is ideal since a middle knot can dig into your sternum.
- Make sure the fabric is spread evenly, especially over your shoulder.
