Mei Tai or another wrap?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I have a didy. I LOVE it! I initially tried babywearing with a snugli. It was horrid and I only used it if absolutely necessary. When I had my twins and was pregnant with another baby I wanted to get serious about babywearing and find something that was comfortable. Wraps looked so comfy and I wanted something that I could use for a newborn or a toddler so I went ahead and bought the macdaddy of wraps and got a Didymos. I did buy it used though so I got a great deal. It has definitely been worth the cost. I love wearing toddler and infant in it. My 12 year old has also worn both the baby and the toddler in it and she usually fights me for it when we go somewhere. The problem is that I live in Georgia so it's really hot for outdoor things. So I'm wanting something cooler for summertime use. I am contemplating either a Babyhawk Mei Tai, a Gypsy Mama Bali Breeze, or a Kozy Mei Tai. I have not tried a Mei Tai style carrier yet but my friend sells carriers and she has a rental program to try before buying so I will probably try one from her first. I'm just not sure if I should go for the wrap since I love the one I have or go for the Mei Tai. I think the mei tai would be cooler but I've heard the Bali Breeze is very light and airy. Opinions?

I have a relative that likes the Snuggle Slings Mei Tai Carriers. My baby is 10 now so I can't even pick her up but do I miss the time I could!!!! I am in Georgia also--just west of you in Douglasville!!

Awesome. I am going to try the mei tai and see what I think. My dh thinks I'm insane. He's still reeling from the Didy purchase and that was almost 2 years ago.

I love my Mei Tai. It is so handy & easy to put on quickly. Much easier to do back carries with it as well. I still haven't mastered a back carry with my wrap yet.
