What is a Mei Tai?

A mei tai is a baby carrier (soft carrier) worn on two shoulders. It is usually made of a square of fabric with four long straps. Just as people come in all shapes and sizes, so there are many different types of mei tai. Some have padded straps, some have padded bodies. Some have headrests and some have adjustable seats. There are many, many different combinations of features and no single mei tai will suit everyone. However, Sling Jax has a wide selection of mei tais available for hire. The hire period is two weeks (although you can have the carrier for longer by arrangement). Check it out http://slingjax.com/catalog.php?category=9 Or why not get yourself along to a local Sling Meet? www.slingmeet.co.uk to find sling mums/dads near you. There are always lots of experienced 'slingers' around on the Sling Meet forum to give you advice. You can also check out the reviews at TheBabyWearer.com and see what others think about the carrier you like the look of!
