The Montana Mei Tai© is Finished!

FINISHED PROJECT: THE MONTANA MEI TAI©
Scandi Style Mei Tai Baby Carrier

I started this project back in January and actually finished the majority of it back in April. Well, today I put this finishing touches on The Montana Mei Tai© and it is officially a FINISHED PROJECT! All it needed was the tabs to attach the hood straps to the shoulder straps and the snaps on the hood straps. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than I had hoped - a universal needle was not up to the job of satin stitching through 800 layers of strap, batting, and what not. But I powered through and it's done, done, done!!

The waist and shoulder straps are 5" wide and padded strategically for a comfortable fit.
The shoulder straps are extra long to allow for my extra padding and to allow a larger number of ties. Some ties require longer straps. 



You can wear the waist belt down like it is shown here for toddlers, or fold it up for infants and smaller babies.

The body is wide, so it gives good support. 

A comfortable and ergonomic seat. Note how her knees are slightly higher than her bum. This is good babywearing posture!

Babywearing Rocks!
