Mei Tai baby carriers originated in Asia and are gaining quickly in popularity in the Western world thanks to the high levels of comfort and flexibility they offer. Mei Tais have a square or oblong body, with a long waist strap and two long shoulder straps which can be worn as a front or back carrier. The baby is positioned with their knees higher than their bottom and legs spread at the hips. Many experts believe that this ‘squat’ position is ideal for the baby’s hip and spine development.
