Is there anywhere to pick up a Mei Tai second hand other than ebay?

They're soooo expensive!!!

I'd love one but cant afford one...does anyone here make them? I used to be able to sew ok but wouldn't trust myself to make something that needs to be so secure lol!

They aren't as daunting to make as it may look- as long as you box stitch any points where straps attach and use a sturdy fabric, it'll be nice and secure

I made this one already:

I like that the straps are a bit more like a wrap but if you are tall, I'd suggest making the straps longer than she says to.

My next one is going to be this one:

I think it was Tiger Lady who posted that she's used this one before. I haven't started that one yet, but it looks pretty easy too.

There are quite a few other patterns on the internet that are pretty easy too. I'd offer to make you one, but I'm a huge procrastinator and the shipping from Canada is ridiculous

Thanks for the links...I need to find someone with a sewing machine though...nothings ever easy eh?

I'm annoyed there was a peanut shell baby wrap in tk maxx today for £16.99 I would have bought it had it not been hideous! Flipping diamante motorbike on it yyyeerrrggghhh and I dont have the patience/sewing machine to change it!

lol, yeah, I guess having a sewing machine would help That would have been so disappointing to discover the diamante motorbike on the wrap! Diamante is hideous (imo...) and would be hard to change

He does, yeah. He was very happy to use the BabaSling before we got the mei tai, so Jack is actually more used to daddy wearing him than me as I refused to use the old one

My OH loves to wear Claire too! Its waaaaay earlier in the thread, but I posted pictures of him wearing Claire on his back, in the Babyhawk. I love seeing guys wear their kids! Totally ups the "appeal" if you know what I mean.

LOVE the picture, btw!!! Too cute!!!

I've been watching this thread from afar for ages now and am kinda chuffed to be able to post my first photo in it..
Here's my little boy, at about 30hrs old, on the way home from hospital, in his home made moby wrap! he loved it and settled off to sleep almost immediately.
