I'm considering adding one of these to my collection, but want some feedback first. There's only one review on here, and the search function hasn't really yielded the info I'm looking for.
So far I have an Ergo and a Moby, both of which I like for different reasons. I like the Ergo because it really supports DD against me and I can get almost all of my housework done in it and even do things like change DS while wearing her in front (with newborn insert, of course). The only thing I don't like is that it's hard to sit while wearing it and I have to take it off if I need to use the bathroom. The Moby is great because I can sit in it and it fits nicely under my jackets for outings, but it's a little bit of a pita to get on compared to the Ergo, and it doesn't provide enough head support for for DD to allow me to do the things I need to do around the house. DD likes the hug hold but she HATES having her head tucked under the shoulder straps. No matter how many times I tuck it in, she squirms to get it free, even when sleeping. So, I can't really be hands free if I need to bend over (have to hold her head with one hand).
Long story short, I thought maybe the Maya Tie might work in terms of providing enough support for DD to allow me to get chores done, but be worn a little higher than the Ergo to allow me to sit down when needed (at least some of the images I've seen online make it look that way). I can also buy it locally, which is nice. If anyone who has one of these can weigh in on the pros and cons, I'd really appreciate it!

but that's also true for most mei tais. they are all usually easy to put on/off (with practice ofcourse), you can sit comfortable in it and the well-made ones provide good support for an infant and toddler. so, i'd say yes to all of the above for maya tie. but, i just didn't personally care for the shoulder straps on it.
