ellaroo mei tei or kozy carrier mei tei?

[sweetpea678]

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

[Salsa]

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!

[sweetpea678]

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

[Salsa]

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.

salsa - i didnt know there were stoclists in australia?

i want one YESTERDAY too!

[Salsa]

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.
.

I want a mei tai for round home, so baby is upright (ergo newborn insert doesnt allow this), and not as bulky and hot as the ergo (insert adds both bulk and heat).

Both me and dh had been orignially wanting a HAB before we even got pregnant but then we decided it would be too hot for a summer newborn and it would not be a quick option for putting on.
Im not sure why, but ringslings just dont seem appealing, but I did see a very nice one just now on the brindabella site.

I actually started a thread about this yesterday...sorry Kitt3n, hope you dont mind the slight intrusion on your thread.

If you are thinking of something cooler and more lightweight for summer, the catbirdbaby would be a good option, and I think one of the Mei Favourites on brindabella baby's Ozebaby store is a solarweave one, which is a very lightweight fabric. It offers UV protection and dries quickly (if you want to wear it at/in the pool or shower).

Could be a good option for you
