What is a Mei Tai?
A mei tai (pronounced May-tie) is a type of traditional Asian baby carrier. The mei tai is Chinese in origin and was a square or nearly square piece of cloth with parallel unpadded straps emerging from the sides of each corner. It was traditionally secured by bringing all the straps together in a twist with the ends tucked. Woman wore their babies to provide a way to care for their children while accomplishing necessary daily tasks.

Sweetgrass Baby Mei Tai carriers are reversible with a beautiful design on either side, giving you two stunning carriers in one! See below for the back fabrics. Each carrier is one of a kind, and custom requests are welcome, please contact us. 

Mei Tai's are suitable for front, hip, or back carries with children ranging from birth to as heavy as a parent can support. (Usually between 34 and 45 lbs for comfort). Click on each picture above for a larger view.

Dimensions (approximate): W: 13.5 inches, H: 19.5 inches. Straps are ample at 75+ inches. They have been tested on people 120 lbs - 250 lbs. The Sweetgrass Baby design has padded straps and a padded top piece for comfort.

All carriers come packaged and ready for use. Wearing and care instructions are included. (Hand-crafted by a WAHM in Iowa.)

Classy Sassy
This is a beautiful mei tai with an Asian style tone-on-tone floral print on side A in a dark magenta. It is a foiled cotton.  It is soft and supple, resembling silk.  However, unlike silk it will NOT snag or pull and can be machine washed and dried!  Pictures don't do this justice!  It's beautiful.
 Side B is a classy black and white print.  You'll always match something with these time-tested styles!
