Meeting Sign-in and Library Check-in
Meeting Sign-in and Library Check-in
When folks arrive for the meeting, a sign-in sheet should be available. Every adult needs to sign in, even if there are multiple adults in the group. Please point out the Liability Release, the Photo Release, and the invitation to Volunteer. Laminated printouts of the liability release document should be available with the sign-in sheet.
Carrier return should be received and checked for any obvious stains or odors. If necessary, these can be pulled for laundering after checking them back in to the system. A check should also be performed for any carrier damage. This is also an opportunity to check with the member regarding any concerns they had with the carrier.
To check in a carrier, enter the carrier id number (from the TBW tag (generally at the end of a waistband or a tail for ringslings and wraps)) into myturn. Then scroll down to select "Record Transaction".
In this screenshot of myturn, just after logging in as admin, you see the menu (circled in green) in the top right corner.

Read this list of benefits and consider what they mean for you. Think about ways to share both the objective and subjective benefits.
Carrier Type Demo
Carrier Type Demo
It helps to have two people demo, taking turns so less time is spent between carriers, if possible. We strongly suggest describing the pros/cons of the carriers while putting the carrier on BUT waiting to explain the “how-to” portion until the 1-on-1/small group help.
Explain proper support (instead of using the word “safety”!) and comfort for caregiver and child with each carrier demonstration.
A is for Airway: two fingers between chin and chest, face uncovered/visible
B is for Body Positioning: Knees about the bum, close enough to kiss
C is for Comfort: for caregiver and child
- Buckle Carrier: Front carry
- Meh Dai: Front carry with infant modifications
- Ring Sling: Tummy to tummy carry
- Woven Wrap: Front wrap cross carry
