Wrappee:   BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs Wrapper:   small – chubby build –US size 10 First glance – Baby Sabye Mei Tai looked thick and a bit rough. This is my first time to try a mei tai and I had some reservations with the straps, the size where Baby G will “sit on”  and if it can withstand Baby G’s weight on the get-go. When I tried tying the waist belt, it was crunchy and I made an effort to tighten the knot to secure it. The straps were thinner than the waist belt which was floppy and flexible.

Type of Carrier: Soul Slings’ Ring Sling Carrier details: Coal Chambray Double Layer (reversible); 100% linen; 28 inches wide and 83 Inches long Wrappee:  BabyG (boy)– 10 months – 10kgs/22 lbs Wrapper:  small – chubby build Overview : I was very excited to try this when it first arrived.

Design  – this prismatic little number is perfect for adding a splash of color on Mommy’s (and baby’s) OOTD; this can be gender-neutral for kids/babies but too bright for Daddies or male wrappers. Size 6 is a lot of fabric plus the silky, cushy material can make it a little “poofy” when bundling it in a hurry upon stowing it away; I had to take the time to fold it really neatly to fit into our small day (baby)bag.
