How to try it

Settle your baby into a carrier or sling, high and upright against your chest, and walk a slow loop of your street. Talk quietly about what you pass, or say nothing at all.

Materials

  • Carrier or sling
  • Sun hat

Safety note

Keep your baby's face uncovered and visible, with their chin off their chest so they can breathe easily.

Save this idea

Why it matters
