What is it and why do it?
Pelvic tuck is a technique wherein the wearer “scoops” or “tucks” the legs to achieve its optimum position (J-shaped spine) when using a carrier.
Why is it better to perform a pelvic tuck?
• opens airway
• respectful to the current anatomy of the child being worn
• encourages J-shaped spine
• promotes M-shaped position of the legs and hips for healthy hip development
