Baby can be carried in the sling in the banana position (instruction video) from birth. The baby is put diagnonally in the sling, with the head touching the outside rail and bottom more towards you. It hears the heartbeat of the sling wearer reminding him of the cozy womb he just left. The sling is also great for discreet breastfeeding. (top tip!)
Playpen Hammock
The baby sling can also be used as a hammock in the playpen (instruction video). Gently rocking the hammock to-and-fro will put baby to sleep. Also helpful for babies with colic. The sling can also be used in larger playpens - in this case it should be hung diagonally in a corner. (tips)

Kangaroo
Once baby's back is stronger, the kangaroo position can be used (instruction video). In this position baby sits facing forward in the sling with feet forward and up high. Baby's head leans against the sling strap. (Demo and tips)
Belly
In the belly sit the baby/toddler sit with their belly against the wearer's belly. Baby's legs come out the bottom of the sling. The sling is a 'seat' with the sling also supporting baby's back. In this position the older the child, the lower the sling can be on their back as they increasingly need less back support. (Demo)
Hipster
Once the toddler's back is strong enough you can use the hipster position (instruction video). In this position the clasp sits on the chest so that the sling will sit just above your hip. The toddler sits in the sling with legs coming out on either side of the wearer's hip. (Demo and tips)
