Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is an Asian-Style Baby Carrier?

An Asian-Style Baby Carrier (ABC) is a sturdy piece of cloth with long straps that wrap around your body to securely hold your child comfortably - they are also called Mei Tai carriers and sometimes simply referred to as Asian carriers.

What makes Mei Tai carriers different from other carriers?

Simplicity: this ancient design has survived because of its elegant simplicity. You can throw it in the washing machine - there's no plastic or metal to worry about.

Flexibility: there are many ways to wear a mei tai. You can carry your child on your hip, waist, or back with your child either facing you or facing outward. The same mei tai will fit an infant, a baby, or a toddler.

Durability: fewer parts means fewer things to break. Your Mei Tai carrier is made out of sturdy cotton canvas, and it is double back-stitched so it will last a long time.

What exactly is a sleep sack for?

A sleep sack is a way to cover your child at night without the risk of them getting tangled in their blankets or covering their mouth. They can also be very helpful when nursing if you have a real squirmer. ;)
