It's very important that a mei tai have the central square of fabric cut to a safe and cozy length. This way the child gets enough support and their hips aren't left bearing all of their weight. Also,the shape will directly affect the weight distribution on the parent and change their comfort as well. I don't like the size of the main piece of fabric on together be's mei tai though, it doesn't really seem to work efficently the way it should. Mei tai's are definetely cozy carriers and the fact that you can roll them up and fit them in any bag is too easy, but I'd go with a differant brand personally.

UnComfortable. Instructions are not very clear. The pictures on box show it being tied different than the instructions. The shoulder strap go across my sons back and make it uncomfortable for him. I had my husband use it and the straps weren't quite long enough To tie it really good across his back.
