Description
A back carry built from a sling pass, a cross pass, and a reinforcing cross pass under the leg, finished with a straightforward double knot. Giselle's is one of the back carries that genuinely handles both a leaner and a leg straightener.

Why it holds both: the sling pass plus two cross passes give real, spread support across baby's back, so a leaner stays contained, and because both of those final passes tuck under the leg, a determined leg straightener has far less to work against. If your child does both, this is a carry worth learning.
It's the close sibling of Jordan's Back Carry. They share the same first two passes, and the only real difference is that third pass: in Jordan's it stays horizontal over the legs, in Giselle's it goes under the leg instead. That one change is what makes it better against a leg straightener → https://youtu.be/fbyRAYEoFn8
A couple of related options:
▶️ Stop after the first cross pass for Half Jordan's, a quicker version for a shorter wrap
▶️ With a longer wrap, try a knotless Tibetan finish instead of the double knot
It's an intermediate back carry and works with a base-2 wrap.
✅ Always check: close enough to kiss, chin off the chest, face in view, knees higher than the bum, back supported.
