I have a Mei Tai I bought off Ebay, it is a cheapy version though. I like it, it's comfortable to wear and easy to tie up. I don't think I'd use it until baby could sit up by themselves because it doesn't have a lot of head support and yep I do tend to put my hand on her back when I bend down. Her new trick is to lean backwards and stare up at the sky/ceiling, so I have to put my hand around her then or she probably would fall out..lol. I don't like that it only has 3 carrying positions...it can be on the front, back or hip but I've only ever used it on the front, and she faces towards me. While that's nice and snuggly I'm sure she would much prefer to look forwards and be able to see a lot more.
