How do I wear a Mei Tai carrier?

BabyHawk Mei Tais

BabyHawk Mei Tai Carriers
(Asian Baby Carriers) are based on a Chinese-inspired design that is
very comfortable for wearing your baby on your front, back or hip. The
design is as simple as possible, while adding just enough fabric and
padding to make it a dream to wear for extended periods.

Ellaroo Mei Hip Baby Carrier

EllaRoo has joined forces with Karen Baker, of Kolamo Baby, to bring you the most innovative baby carrier to hit the market
in years - the Mei HipTM Baby Carrier. This is the only hip carrier on
the market with a shoulder strap that cups the shoulder, rather than
riding up toward the wearer's neck. Add the supportive waist strap, and
you have a very practical, comfortable baby carrier.

Kozy Mei Tais

Designed and owned by a work at home mom, the Kozy Carrier is a modern version of the Asian Mei Tai, otherwise known as an Asian Baby Carrier (ABC). With wide padded shoulder straps, a padded curved head support, and sturdy durable fabrics,
the Kozy was designed for the comfort of not only you but your child as
well. And with its generous sized body, it not only supports your child
throughout their legs, bum and back, but it is made to grow with your
child. It can be used from birth through toddlerhood and beyond . . .
making the Kozy a GREAT value.
