Baby Tai is a baby carrier based on the traditional Chinese mei tai. It provides a safe and comfortable way to be close to your little one and still get things done! As moms, we searched for a baby carrier that was easy to take on and off, comfortable to wear, stylish, and did not cost an arm and a leg. This search ended in us creating the Baby Tai carrier!

I love Baby Tai more than anyone!

Digital Misfit said...

I have used a sling, but never a Mai Tai. It looks even more comfortable and versatile.
Vanilla will always be the BEST ice cream flavor (and not the cheap stuff, I am talking about real homemade pure cream vanilla goodness!).

I am so excited about this giveaway. I have never had a mei tei before, but have wanted to try one. We've been through wraps and slings and more structured carriers, but haven't found one that really works for our 8mo daughter. I would love to be able to find a carrier that will work for us.

Thank you for the giveaway!

thanks -Angel

Amy said...

It is supposed to be 55 degrees today where I live. Soon it will be warm enough again to go outside and this carrier would make our walks so much easier. Thanks.

AikoArt said...

I wear my 6 month old daughter in a moby style wrap as well as a ring sling. I have never used a Mei Tai & have always wanted too. Now a work at home mama & post-partum nurse, I have taught many how to use the styles of wraps I use. I would love to learn more about this wrap & it's uses.

I am passionate about baby wearing & even have videos on Youtube, channel Aikoart.
Your website is both classy & trendy. I look forward to posting about & adding a button to my blog.

Have a terrific afternoon!
