Our 5 1/2-week-old is happy looking out on the world, but she doesn't have the full head control the facing-out positions seem to be really meant for. Now, she does have pretty good head control for her age so I just vigilantly support her head the same way as when I hold her facing out without the help of the wrap. I'd rather have a position where I didn't have to be so constantly mindful once she was in the carrier though.

Has anybody figured out a better way to have a baby safely face out in the Moby Wrap before he/she has full head control?

can you do it so she's sideways? My little guy is usually happy enough facing me so I don't worry about it.. But in my sling I do the high tummy to chest carry and can let baby turn/lean so that they're side is to my chest and then their head is supported and they can still see out.

I think you should be able to.. you'd do it with her legs pulled up rather than with her stradling the fabric.
