Cozitot
Mei Tei Style Carrier
As far as baby carriers go, this one is on the more inexpensive side but it is still quite safe and functional!
The seat of the carrier is about 21 inches wide.
The length of the pannel is about 14 inches tall.
The only downside I can see is the deep blue color of the carrier. While dark colors are nice for most child related mess, dark carriers show spit rings on the straps and pick up all the lint and animal hair you can find. So keep a lint roller handy and it might not be a shabby idea to get some suck/drool/teething pads.
The embellishment on the panel is BEAUTIFUL.
The padding on this carrier is better than other brands of the same style I have tried. I took this carrier on a 4.5 mile hike with my family. It made for a comfortable trek for me and my 10 month old 25lb 'little' dude.
I am a fluffier mama with a bigger baby.
This carrier fit us nicely without discomfort.
According to the paperwork that came with the carrier:
The carrier has a min weight recommendation of 8lbs and a max weight recommendation of 35lb.
According to the amazon listing:
The carrier has a min weight recommendation of 10lbs and a max weight of 25lbs.
Based on similar carriers, I would say the paperwork that came with the carrier is correct.
The instructions that come with the carrier are quite lacking for a newer babywearing family, in my opinion. There are so many ways to wear a mei tei style carrier. Check out all of your options. Remember, practice makes perfect! There's definitely an art to carriers that use fabric to wrap around the body.
Please hit up "Mei Tei (front or back) carry instructions" on youtube if you purchase this product.
Your baby's safety is the number one concern with any baby product.
This product does not have to meet the same safety standards of other carriers because it is made in China. Remember to always check your carrier before AND after each use to make sure the seams are holding up to safety standards.
Here's a quick illustration for a life-hack way to do a back carry.
