With a taller child that has head, neck, and torso control, waistband placement is more subjective to the caregiver’s comfort and person preference. The carrier waistband should be at a height that allows your child to be snug and supported against on your body, with minimal pressure on your body and that avoids obstruction of your ability to see over your child’s head in a front carry. The waistband will be lower and closer to your hips as opposed to the height you might place it when carrying a small infant or newborn.
