ellaroo mei tei or kozy carrier mei tei?

[suse]

Kitten - like sweetpea said - google baby carriers downunder and join the google group. They have a loaners database that has both a catbirdbaby mei tai and a Kozy in it, you could probably try both. They have an instock list and can sometimes order in certain things as well if what you are after is not on the instock list. The guy who started the group is in Brissie, and they have monthly sling meets there, but some of the members also organise meets from time to time in other states. But you don't need to go to the meets to utilise the loaner database.

ETA: I just saw your other question - I meant the catbirdbaby mei tai. The pikkolo is similar in shape/fit, being made by the same company, the main difference being that the pikkolo is a buckled carrier and the mei tai is... well, a mei tai LOL.

I had an ellaroo MT but sold it pretty much straight away.

I didn't get the deluxe and not having the head rest was a real problem for us.

In the end I'm glad I sold it and I got another ergo. I really love the ergo. No dragging bits on the floor.

If you do get a Mei tai, the one with the head rest would be better. imo

I have an ergo, babyhawk and thinking of another. love ergo for back carriers but not front carriers.

kitt3n - Im trying to suss out mei tais. Why are you not considering the babyhawk? Just wondering if there is some good reason I should be aware of

[Kitt3n]

babe i am considering everything to tell you the truth!

I just brought a himmel and love it (its another mei tai one) though i love my 3 carriers for different reasons.

We have an ergo and Im hoping a BH or similar mei tai will be quicker and easier for around home. Also not so hot - the ergo with the infant insert is too hot right now! I want to feel bubs in closer to me also which the ergo with insert dosent.

Im thinking of getting the babyhawk but not keen on the designs available - not many stockists in Australia And as i want one yesterday I dont want to order from o/s and wait up to a month.

I did see one today available in Aus, 'parents of invention' it about $60 on special. Seems to be a USA brand that they sell over there at toysrus...

Why are the BH so much cheaper than the ellaroo and Kozy??

Sweetpea - the himmel looks nice! but at that price I wont be getting one since we payed that for our ergo recently.
