I'll second that! I just received my Mei Tai from her today. It came early so it was a suprise! I put Neveah in it right away and she loves it too! Very well made. The fabric is beautiful and nice and soft. She answered my email promptly, was very nice.

Yes, Babyhawk is so awesome! Everyone should have one.

i'm with you! i love my baby hawk mei tai! and, yes, robyn is so sweet. i emailed her a question which she promptly replied to and then she checked up on me a day or so later. i'm happy to have supported her.

after a couple days, it was pretty easy to get my little in and out easily. it's now my favorite carrier/sling.

Product name: BabyHawk Custom Double Pattern Mei Tai (XT with XL straps)

Brief description of product: Mei Tai (Asian-style baby carrier), reversible with different patterns

Store/Site of purchase: www.babyhawk.com

Price: $75

How long have you used this product? About 24 hours, LOL!

Fit/Sizing: I like the XT because we can fold down the body if DD wants her arms out, or not if she wants to snuggle/sleep. I LOVE the XL straps (I'm 6' tall) so I can tie in front or in back. Padded straps are perfect! Haven't had a chance to try out the padded head support, as DD was having too much fun playing with my hair.

Performance: So comfortable! I am six months pg and carried 22-pound DD on my back like she wasn't there! Can't testify to the longevity, but it seems very well made.

Workmomship: Ha ha, answered that already. Lots of reinforced stitching, several rows of stitching through the padding so it doesn't slip, one-piece waist strap for more strength. Great!

Customer Service/Communication: Fabulous! I ordered the custom MT on December 23rd and received it on December 31st!! Over Christmas!!! All my e-mails were answered within hours, and Robyn was very helpful and explained everything.

Would you purchase this product again? ABSOLUTELY

Have you made a complaint to the WAHM about the product? If yes, please provide details of any resolution or lack thereof: No

Additional Comments: I can't say enough! Fabulous product, fabulous design, fabulous color choices, fabulous customer service... A+

I give it (How many thumbs up out of five?):

Product name: BabyHawk Mei Tai (regular)

Brief description of product: Mei Tai (Asian-style baby carrier), reversible with different patterns

Store/Site of purchase: Direct, I'm a distributor

Price: $70-80

How long have you used this product? 3 weeks

Fit/Sizing: I use a regular with my 11 month old daughter and she just loves it! She can sit with her arms out and really look around and see everything that is going on. She's never liked to be confined and this was a *perfect* solution for her. It's also incredibly comfortable for me with just the right amount of padding without being bulky.

Performance: So comfortable! And her quality of work is just fabulous!

Workmomship: Lots of reinforced stitching, several rows of stitching through the padding so it doesn't slip, one-piece waist strap for more strength. Great! <--------- Same as mentioned above!! Couldn't ask for better quality!

Customer Service/Communication: Robyn is super nice to work with and shipping was fast considering mine was a wholesale order.

Would you purchase this product again? ABSOLUTELY!!

Additional Comments:Well, the main reason I wanted one so bad was because of the variety of prints available. I have to say, I am not the least bit disappointed!!

Brief description of product: Mei Tai

Store/Site of purchase: Babyhawk.com

Price: $80

How long have you used this product? 1 month

Fit/Sizing: Both Dh and I can always get a "just right" fit b/c of the adjustable tie straps.

Performance: Very comfortable!

Workmomship: Flawless!!

Customer Service/Communication: I should start by saying that I had no interaction with Robin, the founder, but a customer service rep. I had some trouble getting this carrier in the amount of time that was stated on the website. I had ordered it for a specific occasion and when it was clear that I would not have it by the time needed, I emailed them to see what my options were. It was offered to me that I could pay extra for overnight shipping, which was not satisfactory to me. It took some persuasion but I eventually got the carrier shipped to me at no cost to myself. In retrospect, I probably should have emailed them to see if the carrier would be in my posession by the date that I needed it. I also feel that they should have emailed me to let me know that the carrier was going to take longer to make/ship than they had stated (by several days). I did get the carrier in time, at no additional cost, but the email communication left me feeling like I was "bothering" them. I approached them with a friendly attitude, but I didn't feel like I was treated with a friendly attitude in return.

Would you purchase this product again? Yes!

Additional Comments: Huge selection of prints to choose from and great quality carrier, but in my opinion customer service was lacking (see additonal comments below).

**** I would like to add that I was recently contacted by a different Customer Support Representative, who read this review and was genuinely concerned that I was unhappy with the customer service I had recieved. She wanted to make sure that I was happy with the carrier and offered her assistance, if I needed it in the future. This interaction has really made me feel so much better about the whole experience. So, I'd like to say that my initial encounter with customer service was unsatisfactory, but upon being contacted by another representative, I feel like there is someone at babyhawk who wanted to make sure I was happy with the carrier, and made it clear that my concerns were not "bothersome". So... for the carrier and the customer service!***

Well, I haven't gotten it yet after a month...

I am genuinely bummed and disappointed in Babyhawk at the moment; I was really excited to order a Mei Tai from them and did so a month ago after saving up my Paypal pennies, and I have not yet received it, and also not been email back about colors or fabric questions that I had. I paid with funded paypal, so they've had my money for a while, and still nothing.

I email them, again... so I'll update if and when I get it.




UPDATE: I did get the Babyhawk, and I'm very pleased with the quality and the way it fits me. It did take over a month to get to me, far longer than the 10-14 days promised, and no one ever did get back to me regarding my questions about the fabric, so I'm a little bummed about the way one of the sides came out, which could have been resolved if I was able to talk to someone...

Overall, I am happy with the product, but don't believe the website if you need it in a hurry.

Additional Comments: this is a great product. i've tried lots of baby carriers...ergo, moby wrap, maya wrap, OTSBH, other slings...and this is still the one i reach for when i hop out of my car (yes, i have a few in my car ) to run into the market or for whatever i'm doing that day. i also have back problems (scoliosis and 5 herniated discs) and this makes it possible to carry my baby without hurting my back too much.

Product name: BabyHawk

Brief description of product: Mei Tai (fabric, no buckles)

Store/Site of purchase: Gift

Price:

How long have you used this product? 1.5 months

Fit/Sizing: Great

Performance: When it was still together, it worked well.

Quality: So disappointed. I used a babyhawk with my sister's kids who I spent tons and tons of time with, and LOVED it. I got one as a gift at my baby shower, and within a month it has fallen apart. I only washed it once, set it out to line dry. The straps have come un-sewn. I am so sad that the quality has deteriorated.

Customer Service/Communication: I dont' know where it was purchased, so I can't take it back, it was from a family member in another state.

Would you purchase this product again? The old BabyHawk, YES! The one I ended up with, no.

Have you made a complaint to the WAHM or company about the product? If yes, please provide details of any resolution or lack thereof. I have not, perhaps I should.

Additional Comments: Gorgeous fabrics, great fit & style. Eleanor loved it, made getting things done with her so much easier. Sadly, I ended up with a lemon. On a positive note, a friend got one recently and hers is holding up great.

I give it (How many up out of five?): two

I have a ridiculous range of carriers to choose from, but my all around favorite is my Babyhawk. Suer comfortable, beautiful and easy to get on and off. I LOVE my Babyhawk.
