Hello everyone!
SO excited to be back today in my children's nursery, filming another baby product demo! This time, I'll be walking through the steps to back carry a baby or toddler using the Mei Tai baby carrier. Carriers can be so convenient for any situation, whether you're out running errands or walking through a busy city. This is because it allows you to stay close to your baby, while still staying hands-free!
How to Tie a Mei Tai
Unlike some of the baby carriers I've reviewed in my other videos, the Mei Tai has long straps that are tied together, not buckled. When you're first putting the Mei Tai on, make sure that the shorter straps are tied securely around your waist. When the carrier is hanging from your waist, take your baby and position him onto your hip. Like with the other baby carriers, you'll have to shimmy your baby from the side of your waist onto your back, all while keeping him supported. When the baby is in the correct position, you can now smooth the carrier over his body and pull the straps over your shoulders. When the straps are in front of you, place them under your arms and cross them in the back. You'll actually be making a type of seat for your baby, giving him or her extra support. Then, once the straps are crossed, bring them back to the front and tie a double knot. Once you've made sure your baby's legs are free and there is enough breathing room, you're good to go! Watch my video and read the owner's manual for more on how to use the Mei Tai carrier with newborns and toddlers!
I really enjoy this carrier. I think it's so lightweight and breathable, perfect for those hot, muggy summer days! Everything about the carrier is easy to adjust as well, making for a comfortable but safe ride for your baby! And remember, as I always say when it comes to baby carrying, tight, tight, tight!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this... It's so much more comfortable and I got it on the first time. You rock!

[@cloudmom]

***** so glad I could help! Thanks for watching! xx

[@SONBON1]

Very helpful thanks 😃

[@EngPheniks]

We Indians (Asians) always carry our little ones on the back. The stroller has many disadvantages. Besides carrying your baby is good. It builds up a deep connection with the parent.

[@ecyojnej]

thank you so much. i just got one yesterday. my 3 year old doesn't walk yet and the stroller is a pain.

[@dani9622]

my baby is 4 months, almost 20lbs with good head control, would it be safe to try a back carry?

[@cwaey25]

Can you please do a review on the Orbit baby system?

[@cloudmom]

cwaey25 sure what is that system? Will take a look.

[@cwaey25]

It is the Orbit baby company. They have car seats, toddler seats, and a stroller frame to attach either seats too. I was curious about it.

[@cloudmom]

cwaey25 ok will check it out - thanks for the tip!!

[@boredvlogger9342]

I baby wear my 4 year old... better then a tot who runs off in public

[@cloudmom]

Bored Vlogger good for you!

Never carry a newborn on your back!! They don't have head control and you have no way to check and reach to make sure they have clear airways! Close enough to kiss is the motto for newborns!!!!!!!!
