Parents of Invention Deliver Perfect Mei Tai
I love baby carriers, and I thought I had seen them all. How much difference can their be between two different brands of Mei Tais? Amazingly, the Ultimate Baby Mei Tai by Parents of Invention really is just that…the ULTIMATE!
The Ultimate Baby Mei Tai has all of the abilities of a standard Mei Tai, with extra bonuses thrown in! Your child can be worn in FIVE different positions (and it comes with an instructional book to prove it…Deeds and I are demonstrating the hip carry). The Ultimate Mei Tai can be used with newborns up to age three. I wasn’t planning on demonstrating this feature, but Jojo (aged 3 1/2) saw Deeds and me having a photo shoot and wanted to join in the fun.
What else do I love about the Ulitmate Mei Tai? It really has the needs of the parent in mind (that is because everything at Parents of Invention is actually invented by a parent!). See those two long straps?
The white fabric on the end of one of the ties is a small zippered pocket, about 2X2; the perfect size for stashing a pacifier! The other strap has a 7 inch long zippered pocket in the black fabric next to the white piece. It is a great size for a wallet/checkbook. If you have a checkbook. If not, it will hold a lot of ATM cards, too, or your car keys.
The big white square on the back of the child is also a zippered pouch. What do you want to stash in there? A spare diaper? A granola bar? It would be nice to leave the house with all the necessities and not have to lug a bulky diaper bag.
Another neat bonus is that the Ultimate Mei Tai comes with a fleece blanket that has a hood, great for draping over your baby when his or her little head is sticking out of the top of your Ulitmate Mei Tai on a windy day.
I have always loved the idea of baby wearing. If you would like to try it and feel a little intimidated, check out informative web sites like www.wrapyourbaby.com or www.mamatoto.org. That way you can be “in the know” without having to ask questions to a stranger. I find it easier to use a carrier than a stroller, even with an older toddler. It gives me much more mobility because I’m not limited to where wheels can travel.

- I could use this since I’m having my 4th child in November. Its hard after 2 kids when you have no free hands to help the others. *
