Mei Tai Baby Carriers - BabyHawk, ToddlerHawk, Oh Snap! Babyhawk - Front Carry Position We are SO excited to add the Baby Hawk Mei Tai (Asian Baby Carrier) to our line-up of baby slings and carriers! Scroll down for available fabric images.

Also check out ToddlerHawk Mei Tai Carriers, The New BabyHawk Oh Snap! Baby Carrier and other brands of Baby Slings and Carriers.

We found the BabyHawk Mei Tai to be one of the most comfortable baby carriers out there. The Mei Tai Carrier (Asian Baby Carrier) is based on a Chinese-inspired design that is very comfortable for wearing your baby on your front, back or hip. The weight distribution of this carrier makes wearing your baby more comfortable than you can imagine.

The BabyHawk Mei Tai's straps are 68 inches long and 3 3/4 inches wide. The bottom strap is one continuous piece of fabric, which offers the safest support for your baby. The body measures 16 inches wide. All of the weight bearing seams are doubled and have a triple reinforced stitch. The top straps are lightly padded as well as the headrest to offer the most comfortable ride for mom and baby! All of the carriers are reversible to a plain colored side, which is natural or black, depending on the color of the straps.

The Babyhawk Mei Tai is appropriate for a newborn up to 40 lbs., or as long as you can comfortably carry your baby. You can use the Mei Tai carrier to carry your baby in front or back. Read full instructions on BabyHawk website .

BabyHawk prewashes all of their fabrics, and throws them in the dryer to prevent shrinkage once you get the carrier home. You can wash your BabyHawk on cold with just a little detergent (try putting it in a large lingerie bag or pillowcase to avoid it getting wrapped around the agitator or the straps all twisted) and then line dry. You CAN machine dry but your colors will stay brighter and more vibrant if you line dry. It is always a good idea when washing your carrier for the first time to include a dye catcher sheet with dark colors to catch any excess dye that may be present.

I added backpack style plastic buckles which made my Mai tai quick and easy to use. My daughter was very happy in it when she was small enough to tuck her feet up inside it. It is harder to get her comfortable with legs hanging out. We have been using a moby instead. The softer streachy fabric seems to be more comfortable. I will try it again in about a month when her legs have grown a bit. user review

I absolutely adore the BabyHawk carrier. I've been using it since my daughter was 3 weeks old. She's 6 months old and I still use it quite often.

I like both the front and back carries and so does she. I think that putting baby in all carries for this carrier is very simple. The hardest one to master was the back carry, but I'm able to do it without any assistance now. I've found that as she's gotten heavier, I'm not able to wear her for as long a period of time (more than 90 mins), because my back gets sore.

I use the BabyHawk pretty often while shopping. I put it on in the parking lot, to avoid lugging a car seat in and out. It takes a little bit of practice to be able to put it on without dropping the straps on the ground. user review

The Mei Tai Babyhawk was a lifesaver!!! Our daughter absolutely loved it - and so did we. She's outgrown it now - but we used in for almost a year! Definitely paid for itself several times over. We used it at home to wear her and never left home without it. I love the fact that its reversable - that way my husband could wear it without the flowers. :-) It is very easy to use, extremely durable and easy to clean. It doesn't stretch like other carriers so baby doesn't end up below your belly. Very comfortable! I highly recommend this carrier!user review

We love our BabyHawk. It was a little awkward at first but now we have the hang of it. My daughter gets excited when she sees me get it out... she knows that there is an adventure on the way. It is very supportive for the baby.user review

I absolutely love our mei tai. It is so easy to use, works for so many carries, and folds up small so it is not hard at all to throw it in the diaper bag. Plus it doesn't look as intimidating to new babywearers as a wrap, so it is something I feel good about recommending to my friends.user review

Love our Babyhawk Mei Tai! I used it with my son from 6 months to two years. When I am out and about shopping, I tie it on and leave it on when I go from store to car to store. I was never comfortable using it with a back carry because the straps were uncomfortable on my chest and hips.user review

We got this after our Cuddlywrap did not work for us. We were desperate to find something that would be comfortable and not so complicated to use. After a lot of research, we decided on the Babyhawk. We absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Our son fits in comfortably, and usually falls asleep as soon as he is in it. It is so easy to put on and get a good, snug fit for either myself or my husband. They have great patterns to choose from, so, luckily, we were able to find one we could both agree on. My husband and I love our Babyhawk and recommend it to anyone. user review

love this carrier. I rock my 6-mo-old son to sleep in the babyhawk each night (it is so comfortable wearing it on the front!). We also use the back carry for during the day and for walks, which is a little less comfortable (still very managable) -- but I prefer to cross the straps in the front making it not too attractive, but this distributes my son's weight best. The carrier is constructed very well (it is very secure and I love no buckles). Style-wise, I appreciate the two different patterns to choose from when wearing it. Overall, I would buy this carrier again in a heart beat, and at full price. user review
