Mei Hip Carrier

[mthomas]

Product name: Mei Hip Carrier

Brief description of product: This is a twist on a classic Mei Tai. Instead of carrying baby on your back or front, you carry on your hip. It ties around your waist like a MT, but then it has rings and a strap to comfortably wrap around your shoulder - very innovative design.

Store/Site of purchase: www.meihipcarrier.com

Price: $45.00 approx

How long have you used this product? 6 wks

Fit/Sizing: One size fits all

Performance: Wonderful. I wouldnt leave home without it. It is a staple in my diaper bag. The hip carry is what I prefer when my guy isnt in a sling. The learning curve on this is almost nil. After just a few times wearing I can put him in it, standing up, in 30 seconds flat.
Nice wide strap to comfortably fit over your shoulder - this alleviates any neck and back pain. I can carry my 25lb 9 month old for several hours if need be!

Workmomship: Very well made. Nice and comfy. Pattern is generous for baby's comfort also.

Customer Service/Communication: Karen was very much a pleasure to work with. She was prompt when replying to my questions and emails. And she was very appreciative of the praise I had for her product.

Would you purchase this product again? ABSOLUTELY. In fact, I am strongly considering buying another in a darker, more "fall-ish" fabric. LOL - how's that for liking it?

Have you made a complaint to the WAHM about the product? If yes, please provide details of any resolution or lack thereof

Additional Comments:

I give it (How many thumbs up out of five?): 5 thumbs up, no question!

Brief description of product: See above. I purchased from her because she is the only one with this neat design.

Store/Site of purchase: www.meihipcarrier.com

Price: $45.00 approx

How long have you used this product? 4 wks

Fit/Sizing: One size fits all

Performance: Works well with practice.

Workmomship: Average/below average. I was shocked to see the crooked lines, bunched fabric, big stitches etc. This would have been a seconds carrier made by another merchant. However none of these issues affect performance of the carrier.

Customer Service/Communication: Excellent communication, prompt service.

Would you purchase this product again? Probably not. The workmanship thing is a big issue for me. I may make a similar one myself. (Of course, because it is her unique design I would never sell it or anything like that. )

Have you made a complaint to the WAHM about the product? If yes, please provide details of any resolution or lack thereof: No, I haven't. The details I am dissapointed in do not affect performance, it still works well.

Performance: Wonderful. This carrier puts my little guy on my hip where he can see out and we can interact. The wide back/shoulder strap really does a great job at distributing his weight and cups over my shoulder nicely.

Workmomship: Flawless. Stitching is perfect and the attention to detail is obvious.
