Make sure to follow the instructions which outline the do's and donts! I have had wraps in the past so I am somewhat familiar with using, this one is a bit different as it has a piece on the back (the ones I've used are just a long strip of fabric). I would make sure you have practiced and feel comfortable - maybe have assistance a few times before using it alone with baby just to be sure it is fitted correctly. I didn't have any issues and it seems to hold well, the material is breathable which is great for these hot summers!
