affordable mei tai?

[Oliver's Mama]

Any suggestions for a mei tai that isn't expensive.. like under 50??
or am I just dreaming? I don't sew, so DIY is out.
I know there's that infantino one, but I'd rather not.
I currently have a buckle-tai that I really like, but i feel a bit too industrious sometimes with 5 different buckles around me to snap. I got it because I was nervous about the tying, but I started using a sleepywrap and have gotten comfortable with the concept.

Check FSOT here or on other sites. I got a babyhawk for $45. It is reversible and really cute! It barely even looked used. If you keep an eye on BWing FSOTs you could easily find a BH, Freehand, or Kozy for under $50. Happy hunting!

I got one on e-bay for 17 plus 6 shipping. It was new, handmade and one side was custom fabric. It was not the best heavy duty but it is basic, useful and cheap!

Ditto! Maybe diaperswappers, too. I've seen babyhawks and other well known makers for that price.

I would personally rather go with a second hand mei tai made by a reputable company or WAHM that has good feedback and reviews. Something that is super cheap is likely not made with quality fabric, and do you really want to risk your LO's safety with cheap fabric that will not hold up? Just my $.02.
