To place the Beana Baby Ring carrier on; simply place the tail of the carrier thru the rings. Fold the tail over the first ring and thru the second; this will allow you to adjust the carrier once you place it over your shoulder. This will take a little practice but once you do it a couple times; it is very simple.
