the difference in the mai tai's?

I cant really see the difference with the freestyle and babyhawk mai tai carriers? also are they easier to put on than the close baby carrier?

thanks

Heres two great websites indicating why carriers like the freestyke and similar arent going to be the most comfortable for you, not only because they are less adjustable, so wont fit you as well as a babyhawk or similar.

Im sure some people find them ideal but in my experience there are some infinately more comfortable carriers out there !

Seeing as you babys still only little it would depend whether you want something thats going to last you the whole time, or that you could sell and buy another when you need a toddler sized carrier ?

Iv tried many and my favourite for when my daughter was upto 6 months was a baby sized daisychain meitai, it was lovely organis sherpa fleece on the inside and lovely soft cord on the outside ( perfect for winter when she was born !!)

Alot of vendors also do custom sized carriers, with custom fabrics so it really depends what your after as most reputable makers carriers will all provide wonderful back support
