Mei Tai or HAB?

[Maruschke]

Hi All

I am trying to choose between a Mei Tai and a HAB, any suggestions?

I don't know anything about the Mei Tai, but I loved my HAB....until I found the Close Carrier. They are very similar to a HAB but easier to put on and not so long. HTH

I adored my HAB as I could have my hands free to do things as DS was an inarms babe for a while there.

Also pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it

I don't have a HAB, but I love my MeiTai - very easy and quick to put on and there is versatility with it - you can do a front, hip and back carry which I find really suits my needs as I can chop and change how I wear him depending on what I am doing.

Trillian - do you know if all Mei Tai's are the same? Some reviews online complain about narrow shoulder straps, are yours uncomfortable?

TA!

i can say this with absolute honesty now that I am not a rep!

the close carrier is hands down the best carrier Ihave tried (i gave away my HAB and have two mei tais in the cupboard collecting dust)

i do however have a beetlebum on the way but.... that is more for DH... i LOVE the close carrier

you can get them at fluffy lime

I have a babyhawk brand one and it has padded shoulder straps and they don't dig in, it's surprising just how good it feels because you would think they would dig in but they don't. I'm not sure of the exact difference between each brand of meitai. I can carry my 12.5kg DS for quite a long time in it and still feel OK.

We have a HAB and it's great very comfy! Sorry not sure about the Mei Tai. Never seen one.

We also have a simple sling that just goes over your shoulder and is much faster to put on than the HAB... handy for different occasions depending on where I am or what I'm doing!
