BabyHawk Mei Tai Baby Carriers ... the cure for the common baby carrier.

The BabyHawk Mei Tai is comfort and fashion all-in-one. A Mei Tai Baby Carrier (pronounced "may tie" and also referred to as an Asian Baby Carrier) is one of the most comfortable baby carriers available. Two padded shoulder straps (68" long and 3 3/4" wide), waist straps (20" long) and the square body make the BabyHawk Mei Tai an incredibly versatile carrier to use. A mei tai is a one-size fits most baby carrier with the ability for unlimited options of positioning for carrying your baby, all based on how the straps are tied to your body. We LOVE this baby carrier particularly for it's versatility for wearing in Canada. It can easily be adapted to use over light clothing in the summer time, or over a big, bulky coat when you need to keep warm during a blustery winter day.

A Mei Tai Baby Carrier is one of the most versatile baby carriers available. It can be easily shared between mom, dad and other caregivers and YOU have complete control in the positioning of your baby within the carrier, based on how you tie the straps. Baby likes to be tucked in and hidden? No problem! Your toddler wants to be propped up to see the world? A re-tie here and there and viola! His arms are out and he can watch as mom goes about her day. This adaptability means that it is easy to get a comfortable fit on ANY wearer. Easy to use, comfortable for you, fun for baby, and lots of style - what more could you ask for in a baby carrier?

Sizing Guidelines for the BabyHawk Mei Tai Baby Carrier

BabyHawk Mei Tai baby carriers are a one-size fits most carrier. The newest version of the BabyHawk Mei Tai includes a headrest. This is ideal for an infant that requires extra head support, as well as for an older baby that likes to fall asleep inside the baby carrier. This size Mei Tai can do it all! This is an ideal size as you can use this baby carrier with a newborn or toddler. A newborn or young baby without complete neck control will have ample head support, while an older baby can easily see out over the top of the carrier and even has his hands free, if they prefer.
