Two styles of BabyHawk, which will you choose?
The Mei Tei~
A mother's time is perhaps more valuable than anyone else's. and at BabyHawk our goal is to make your parenting experience easier.
Our Mei Tai's (Asian Baby Carriers) are adopted from a Chinese-inspired idea that makes holding your little one on your front, back or hip as safe, as it is comfortable. The weight distribution of our MT's makes wearing you baby more cozy and delightful than you can imagine for longer than you can imagine! Our design is simple to let you strap on or take off your custom Mei Tai quick and easy.
BabyHawk Mei Tai's are comfortable, sure, but they are above all safe and reliable. First off all the fabrics we use are pre-washed and thrown into the dryer to prevent shrinkage. The straps are 70-72 inches long and 3 3/4 inches wide. The bottom strap is one continuous piece of fabric, which offers the most durable and safest support for your baby. The body measures 16.5" by 18.5" for the regular. The top straps are padded as well as the headrest to offer the most comfortable walk for mom and a safe, smooth ride for baby.

Babyhawk Carriers are designed for children newborn through 40 pounds
Washing:
You can wash your BabyHawk on cold with just a little detergent (try putting it in a large lingerie bag or pillowcase to avoid it getting wrapped around the agitator or the straps all twisted) and then line dry. You CAN machine dry but your colors will stay brighter and more vibrant if you line dry.
It is always a good idea when washing your carrier for the first time to include a dye catcher sheet with dark colors to catch any excess dye that may be present.
The Oh Snap!
BabyHawk Oh Snap!
- You may find that wearing the waist belt higher on your natural waist or lower on your hips is more comfortable, this is very subjective and you will need to figure out what works for you.

- Especially when you have your baby on your back, when you walk past a window or car, check and make sure that everything looks to be in place and your baby still looks comfy.
- Petite user? The bottom strap has webbing adjustments on it that you can use to scrunch up the straps about 2" The top strap also has a slide adjustment that allows you can further reduce the length of top strap webbing.
