As any babywearing devotee will tell you, a Babyhawk is the Cure for the Common Baby Carrier! These gorgeously designed carriers for the style conscious parent are patterned after an ancient Chinese design which makes holding your baby on your front back or hip as safe as it is comfortable (which is very).
The creator of the Babyhawk Mei Tai was never very good at math. But after her second child was born, she learned a relatively simple equation. One child, two arms, and a million to things to accomplish added up to a major need: a baby carrier that was functional, comfortable, and absolutely stylish.
The creator of Babyhawk believes that wearing your baby close is the best way to raise a healthy and happy child - but you won't do it if you're not comfortable. A mother's life is stressful enough - you don't need added stress on your body! The Babyhawk Mei Tai frees your hands so you can stay close to the little one who needs you most.
Babyhawk Mei Tais are safe, reliable and comfortable. The fabrics are all pre-washed and dried to prevent shrinkage or color bleeding. The straps are 70-72 inches long, making the Babyhawk a carrier that can easily be shared among people of widely different sizes. The bottom strap of the Babyhawk is one continuous piece of fabric, which is a unique feature that gives the safest, most durable support for your baby. The top straps and headrest are lightly padded, so mom and baby get the safest, smoothest ride possible.
The Babyhawk Mei Tai can be used from newborn up to forty pounds, or until you can comfortably carry your child. Given the excellent weight distribution in the Babyhawk Mei Tai, you will find yourself wearing your child far longer than you ever imagined possible. The simple design lets you get your baby or toddler on and off with a couple quick ties.
To put the Babyhawk Mei Tai on your front, tie the carrier on your body like an apron. The pattern you want to display will be hanging upside down towards your body. Bring the body of the Babyhawk up to hold the baby snugly to you, and bring the shoulder straps over your shoulders. After they cross behind your back, the shoulder straps can be tied behind the back of a younger baby for more support or tied under the bottom of a toddler. Some babies prefer to keep their hands inside the Babyhawk, while others like to have their arms free. Your little one will quickly let you know which camp they fall in. Either way is perfectly safe.
The Babyhawk Mei Tai can be conveniently washed on cold with just a little detergent, and remember this helpful hint: put the Babyhawk into a lingerie bag or pillowcase before washing, or you will end up with 72 inches of straps twisted around the machine's agitator. Machine drying is possible, but line drying is preferable to maintain the vibrant colors of your Babyhawk.
