Like a good addict, I've acquired a small stash paraphernalia to support my habit. My latest acquisition: A Mei Tai Baby carrier. I already have some wraps and soft structured carriers, all of which I love, but until last week my collection was missing the staple mei tai.
I did some digging around before I decided to order a carrier from Mei Tai Baby. The carriers have good reviews on TheBabywearer.com, and the designs looked great from what I could see on the website. I saw this khaki-colored carrier in the Ready-to-Ship section of their shop and decided to go for it.
I am thrilled with this carrier. It is extremely well-made, the construction is flawless and the shape of the carrier is perfect. It's very comfortable, and look at how good it looks! I've worn it for several hours every day the past few days and it still feels great. At $89 the Mei Tai Baby costs about the same as many popular buckle carriers, and if I had to choose only one, I'd go with the Mei Tai Baby.
The only thing I wish I had done differently is to order the optional snap tab extender for an additional $3. The bottom of the front panel comes with snaps to cinch the carrier in for smaller babies, and B is currently in an in-between size where he's too big to sit in the carrier with it cinched, but too small to sit in it uncinched. This isn't a huge issue, I'm using a swaddle blanket in the carrier until the extender that I just ordered arrives, but it would have been nicer to have it from the get-go
Overall, the Mei Tai Baby is a beautiful way to carry your little one. It is so artfully made that I'm excited to wear it out of the house.
