We found the BabyHawk Mei Tai to be one of the most comfortable baby carriers out there. The Mei Tai Carrier (Asian Baby Carrier) is based on a Chinese-inspired design that is very comfortable for wearing your baby on your front, back or hip. The weight distribution of this carrier makes wearing your baby more comfortable than you can imagine.
The BabyHawk Mei Tai's straps are 68 inches long and 3 3/4 inches wide. The bottom strap is one continuous piece of fabric, which offers the safest support for your baby. The body measures 16 inches wide. All of the weight bearing seams are doubled and have a triple reinforced stitch. The top straps are lightly padded as well as the headrest to offer the most comfortable ride for mom and baby! All of the carriers are reversible to a plain colored side, which is natural or black, depending on the color of the straps.
The Babyhawk Mei Tai is appropriate for a newborn up to 40 lbs., or as long as you can comfortably carry your baby. You can use the Mei Tai carrier to carry your baby in front or back. Read full instructions on BabyHawk website .
BabyHawk prewashes all of their fabrics, and throws them in the dryer to prevent shrinkage once you get the carrier home. You can wash your BabyHawk on cold with just a little detergent (try putting it in a large lingerie bag or pillowcase to avoid it getting wrapped around the agitator or the straps all twisted) and then line dry. You CAN machine dry but your colors will stay brighter and more vibrant if you line dry. It is always a good idea when washing your carrier for the first time to include a dye catcher sheet with dark colors to catch any excess dye that may be present.
