I really must warn about this one. This is the first product I've reviewed that I can in all honestly say that I was disappointed in. I really had high hopes and felt I was let down. 

I purchased this carrier at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Which along with the good, you will get the bad. I received this carrier a week ago. I am an experienced baby wearer, so I was super excited to be able to test and review this carrier. 

I tested it out with my 7 month old and my 2.5 year old children. I have to say that it seems to fit bigger/older babies better than smaller ones. I wouldn't use it with a newborn unless you are an experienced baby wearer and are able to use an insert or rolled towel/blanket. However I did like that this carrier has a padded neck. This is something that my other two Mei Tais do not have. I would say this is sized closer to a toddler fit. The panel of this carrier has a very beautifully embroidered panel.

I have to recommend a few changes to this carrier before I would be willing to use it more often. It has its place though. The way it is designed right now, with no changes, I would use it as a spare, a quick up and down carrier, or something to keep in the car. 

Here is what I had issues with while using this carrier. First the material. It is thin. Second is the attachment points. These areas are not X-box reinforced. If you are not sure what that means, it means that the stitching is in an X pattern with a box around it. Nor is the material at least 1 inch into the reinforcement stitching. That in addition to the thin material makes me a bit nervous for safety reasons. These issues pose a real possible safety concern. Is it safe? Yes, it *probably* is for infrequent use. But it will not stand the test of time like other carriers and wraps will. 

I liked that there is padding on the shoulder straps. But it did not extend down far enough making the area rub against my armpits causing redness and even ingrown hairs from the rubbing on one side. It would also be nice if the leg out area had padding. The leg out area is nice and big, but because of the material being so thin it causes a pressure point. Thicker, sturdier material or padding would eliminate this issue. 


This carrier would probably be best for a spare for someone who has previous babywearing experience. Or possibly for someone that lives in the northern states who needs a larger carrier to accommodate for outdoor attire. (I'm from the north.. way north, so I know just how bulky those snowsuits are!)

If you will be using this carrier please always check the seams before and after use as well as after washing.
