How to wear a Mei Tai with Baby On Back

[pixieandjem]

brill thanks!! you make it look easy but i would agree about the bows!!! i always tie twice and never do a bow!!

i remember getting carried like that when i was like 4 years old. It was comfortable :)

Very helpful instructions - love how the baby giggles as he's being put on. Just pleeease don't tie straps in a bow - it's not safe! Always tie top and bottom mei tai straps in a secure square knot. You can tie any leftover strap length into a bow on *top* of the knot, but a bow on it's own is not a good idea.

eeek! It looks like he could fall out :S

Think I'll stick to a wrap.

No way would your baby fall out. People have been using these asian style carriers for thousands of years. Wraps are wonderful for smaller babies, but mei tais so much easier than wraps for older babies and toddlers who want to get down frequently. Give it a try. I know you'll be a convert!

yes however if it were me, i would bring it around the front and tie. too easy for a toddler to pull !

The baby is secure with this type of mei tai.
