You can do a strapless wrap carry on your front as well as your back. The key is having a way to load your baby securely while you wrap … when you do this as back carry, you can bend forward to make your back like a table … obviously, though, bending over backward while you wrap is not the way to a front torso carry. The trick is to start off as if you’re doing the front wrap cross carry, then one by one convert the shoulder straps to torso straps.
Here’s a video showing how to do this carry with a Moby Wrap. The same technique works with woven wraps, too. Enjoy going strapless!
Thank you for this vid!!! I cannot wait to do this with my wee one!

Awesome – thanks!
THANK YOU!
quick question — how does would this hold up for long trips?
thank you so much for your help!
It depends on how well you tie it and how much up-and-down arm motion you do while you’re walking. If you experience slippage, you may want to convert one of the tails back to a strap; in other words, just go half strapless. Even going half strapless redistributes a significant amount of weight off your shoulders and onto your torso.
