This is a Chinese-inspired design that is very comfortable on the front or back. With just the right fabric and padding, it is a dream to wear for extended periods. The gorgeous embroidery on each Mei Tai baby carrier is improvised just for EllaRoo by Miao women in a village in China. The making of these baby carriers allows many of the women in the villages to remain there (rather than move to town for factory work, e.g.) and care for their farms and families and also earn extra money for their households.
The Mei Tai baby carriers are reversible, washable 100% cotton, sewn and hand-embroidered in China. The cotton fabric is buttery soft. The straps are lightly padded for comfort while wearing, without being bulky.
