    So much about the style we choose depends on the baby and our personal shape/preferences doesn't it!

    Lime, the BabyHawk is a Mei Tai (a type of Asian inspired carrier) - they're a less steep learning curve than a wrap for sure (though there still is a bit of learning involved with the tying).

    I found YouTube really helpful with my Mei Tai, nothing beats a visual with babywearing I think! Just watching the little things people do (like do a bounce when bub is in, but not tied yet - about halfway through) which just makes so much sense - NOW that I know to do it!

    How gorgeous are the BabyHawks though!

    YouTube - now there's a good idea!

    I think the other cool thing about ht ebabyhawk is that it can be reversible - so i can pick something i like and something more...manly...lol for DF!

    Another great thing about babyhawk is that you can now get them in Australia!

    OMG... I think I scared DH... lol. He just saw me watching the you tube video of the mei tai and babyhawk and I told him they look great, like a cross between a HAB and a baby bjorn.... I already have had 3 different ones!! ahaha... oh well, like I still like the HAB and the sling I have, however if I'd known about something like the babyhawk I may have investigated it! Having said that I was also completely desperate at the time

    Mei Tai's are grouse Cass, I love having Riv in the back carry, where he can see what he wants to see, and I get kisses and he plays with my hair while we shop.

    Think about it - it you put aside $10 a week, that's not long before you have enough dosh for one! Just putting it out there...and I think Mel's store will be stocking them soon enough...

    yeah Nelle, i have just listed them as pre orders for those who want a custom one before I put a big order in. So if you want a custom now is the time to do it.
