What's your favorite Mei Tai Carrier?

[paintingmom]

So I want to get a Mei Tai Carrier and am interested in which ones you ladies like the best.

Thanks in advance!

Well, I'm biased because I have TMJ, which causes jaw/shoulder pain, so the wide straps on the BBO that distribute the weight so well get my vote. I haven't even tried most of the big names because of that. Otherwise, Kozys get lots of raves. And Scandis are good, but expensive and hard to come by!
If you want one for an infant, Silly Goose MTs have an adjustable bottom so small babies can be legs out.

Kozys are good for older kids, but I find the panel is much too wide for a little one unless your torso is very narrow. They also take a bit of breaking in to make the canvas soft enough to be comfortable.
My favorite all-around MTs are my Ellaroo and the custom My Blessed Baby (on Etsy) that I just got this week.

And see, I love the huge panel for a tiny little one

I think my judgment is skewed because DS has never liked to have his legs froggied in any carrier, unlike most babies. When we started with our first stretchy wrap at 18 hours old, he freaked when I tried to froggy him. As soon as I popped his legs out, he calmed and fell asleep.
We he got a little older and started to want to stand, the Kozy was great because he could stand in it; I just tied the straps under his butt to keep him up high. Now he's too tall to stand in it, but too short-legged to have his legs out, so our Kozy will go untouched until his legs get a bit longer.

Kozy! From soon after birth to, well, DH carries our 7 yr. old DD in it sometimes.

I am waiting (impatiently! ) for a solarveil Bamberoo I got on FSOT at TheBabyWearer, I can't wait to try it out!

I have a Kindercarry that's awesome Melissa does excellent work, I'm the 4th or 5th owner of this one and you'd never know it's been used.

Thanks so much guys!

I'm adding another thumbs up for the Kozy carrier mt, since I just got mine in the mail a few days ago and LOVE it. Definitely a tall carrier, but mine is so comfy (already worn in because I bought it used on TBW.com) and easy to use. I thought I was going to be nervous about tying, as we've always had buckle-tai's and SSCs, but I'm definitely converted. =)

I am another fan of the kozy carrier. But not so much with older and heavier toddlers. Also I prefer a MT with a hood. Right now I love bebinaers and Daisy Chain MTs. I love the wide long straps and they are perfect for toddlers too.

Since no one else mentioned them, I just wanted to add I really love the Maya Tie. It's by Maya Wrap and uses the same soft woven fabric. It's also got really long wide straps, almost like a wrap. I just think they are super comfy and I love the fabric! And they have a pocket, which I LOVE! I always forget how much I love pockets on my carriers until I use one with a pocket again!

Eden also makes a really soft velveteen wrap that is super snugly for newborns! Needs to be washed and worn a few times before it gets really soft though.

I love my Dream Carrier, but it's a buckle tei, with the waist being a buckle and the shoulder straps the normal mei tai straps. It's so soft, comfy, and pretty! Also, the buckle around the waist makes things easier...but if you're looking for a total mei tai, maybe that's not for you any way

BabyHawk is my favorite!!!
