"Mr FitzGibbon asked Miss Marten how she had been transporting her daughter as they moved around the country.
He said: “Was there a time before Victoria died that she was being carried in a carrier bag?”
She replied: “No.”
Constance Marten has claimed that she was followed by private detectives in a row over her grandmother’s will.

Is it possible CM had Victoria under her coat after they dumped the buggy in Flower and Dean Walk in Whitechapel? She's not holding her with either arm. Her arms swing quite jauntily. Is this consistent with having a baby in a sling?
Constance Marten, 36, and her lover Mark Gordon, 49, have been accused of causing the death of their daughter Victoria through gross negligence and are currently on trial at the Old Bailey

It is possible to have the baby secured tightly enough to you that you don't need hands.
I did babywearing with my youngest, who is now 10. I had to walk my elder daughter to school every morning and pick her up every afternoon. It was January/February in the Snowbelt in the middle of the Great Lakes, Ontario, in Canada. I could not havehave pushed a stroller/pram in 1 to 2 feet of snow, so I would have my son in a sling or a baby-wearing scarf, a long, sturdy, but flexible cloth which you wrap around you and the baby. Similar to what you would see in other countries, with the baby strapped to the mother's back. It was comfortable and secure, and I did not need my hands unless I had to bend down.
Let me add this was sometimes in -30! I would dress baby, wrap him to me, then wear my coat over the top. It wasn't a long walk, 10 minutes there and back, but he and I would be hot and getting sweaty by the time I got home.
I mentioned this back in the early days when they were first missing.
There were no times my son was uncomfortable, cold or unsafe.
Babywearing is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby in a sling or in another form of carrier. Babywearing has been practiced for millennia around the world. Babywearing is a form of baby transport which can be used for as long as mutually desired, often until toddlerhood and beyond. In the industrialized world, babywearing has gained popularity in recent decades. Part of the reason for this shift is due to the influence of advocates of attachment parenting.

This is very similar to what I used, but when I first researched the wraps, I saw many people use homemade wraps with their own material or scarves as the 'official' wraps are quite expensive.
