InactiveSo we recently got a tucker sling. For the past month my son had been sleeping on a wedge contraption that an OT made for him after his larynx surgery…..now we have a sling that my mom got for us (off of craigslist)
It is the larger one that has shoulder straps. We don’t put him to sleep on his stomach and all the pictures I see are on the stomach. There is no clear instructions with pictures for a baby on their back in the sling. I’m not sure what to do with the shoulder straps, or the strap that goes across him and goes into some metal hook things. I also used to put him on his side sometimes, and can’t figure out how to do that on the tucker sling…but just putting him on his back in it properly would be good. I got him secure, I just wasn’t sure what the shoulder straps are for and what the other strap that goes around his torso is for.Anyone that can help, I’d be very appreciative. Pics would also be great!!scuby20 2009-09-03 12:33:36 September 3, 2009 at 3:22 pm #63791Anonymous
InactiveGo to Tuckersling.com and click on instructions. Back and front positions are the same, side is tricker. You can all call them at 800–780-7479 and they will walk you through it over the phone. Best to have a toy doll available to practice with as they walk you through it.

Inactiveyeah I went to their site, but they didn’t have the one on there that I did…I don’t understand the straps on it though.

InactiveIf it is like mine then you lie the baby on his back, pull the middle piece up between the legs like a diaper and then bring each side over and velcro shut. Then you take the waist strap over the top through both metal loops and back through just one of the metal looks. (Its just an extra safety strap to keep it closed up.) Bring the shoulder straps down over the shoulder and down the front of them through the double metal loops and back through just one of them. That keeps them from wiggling their way up and out. Practice with a doll or teddy bear.

Inactivehmm, there are no touble metal loops for the straps, just velcro. The only double metal loops on it is for the strap that goes across.

InactiveSounds like you have a different model or are missing some pieces. Give Tucker a call. They call you back and walk you through it while you are on the phone. Super nice folks.
