I had heard rumors that you could use a ring sling like mine to do a back carry. I've always wanted to try. With all the padding my sling has, I thought she would be pretty secure in it. One day at the mall after Christmas, my mom was with me and helped me put Baby Girl in. It worked, but my family was pretty uncomfortable with it. I kept saying she was just fine.
Well, last night, she was being clingy again. I wanted to do some house chores (dishes mainly) so I thought I'd try it again. This time I had a better idea of how it would work. I started by putting her on the backside of my hip, then moved my arm out in front of her. As I moved her around, tighting the sling, we got more and more comfortable every moment.
So here's proof, you can use a sling for back carry. It works really well with a padded sling like this.

Awww, cute! I don't do it often, because I like my mei tai much better for back carries, but I have done a back carry in a sling. It is harder to get nice and secure but definitely possible!
